Property details

. Wake up to the sound of the New River just steps from your door. At New River Junction — the New River Valley's favorite outdoor destination since 1982 — our safari tents offer the magic of sleeping in nature without any of the hassle. Real beds, fresh bedding and a private deck right on the riverfront. Arrive with nothing but your bag and find everything ready and waiting. The New River is one of the oldest rivers in the world, and this stretch is something special. Calm, clear, and surrounded by the rolling hills of southwest Virginia, it draws tubers, anglers, and nature lovers from across the region every summer. Spend your days floating downstream on a tube, casting for smallmouth bass and muskie, or simply relaxing on your deck as hawks and herons fish the shallows beside you. When the day is done, come back to your tent and find it exactly as comfortable as you left it. Canvas walls, real beds, and the sound of the river at night, the best white noise you'll ever sleep to. A shared restroom and shower facility is available for all glamping guests. Please note that it is located elsewhere within the campground and is not adjacent to the safari tents. Blacksburg's restaurants and shops are just a short drive away if you need them. Family-owned and operated since 1982, NRJ is more than a campground, it's a New River Valley tradition. Come be part of it

The staff at New River Junction were so helpful & friendly! The river and surrounding areas are gorgeous! The beds were comfortable and the covered deck area was great, especially if you get rain during your trip.
