Stone Cliff Campground

Stone Cliff Campground is a primitive, tent-only facility with 7 walk-in sites (5 on sandy beach, 2 in forest) along the New River, offering free first-come, first-served camping with vault toilets and river access for fishing and boating.

The campground provides direct access to the Stone Cliff Trail for hiking and is located near the historic town of Thurmond, though it requires navigating a steep gravel road and has no potable water, electricity, or cell service.

Note that trains run frequently across the river and the area can experience litter and broken glass issues.
