War Ridge/Backus Mountain Campground is a primitive, ridgetop campground within New River Gorge National Park featuring 8 free, first-come, first-served drive-in sites suitable for tents and RVs under 25 feet, with no water, hookups, or restrooms—ideal for self-sufficient campers seeking solitude and stargazing.

Access is via a steep, curvy gravel mountain road (approximately 1 mile from Backus Mountain Road), and the remote location requires visitors to bring all supplies; camping is limited to 14 days per 28-day period with fire rings provided at each site.
