Discover a Serene Riverside Getaway at a Charming Off-Grid Cabin in Botetourt County Virginia
The River Rest Primitive Cabin offers a serene and rustic retreat nestled along the banks of the James River in Gala, Virginia. This charming one-room cabin is designed for those who value simplicity and wish to escape the noise of modern life. Located within a gated campground in Botetourt County, the cabin provides a quiet getaway where guests can enjoy the natural beauty of the riverbank and the surrounding forest in a private, peaceful setting.
Accommodating up to four guests, the cabin features one double bed and two twin beds, making it a great option for small families or groups of friends. The site is completely off-grid, meaning there is no electricity, running water, or shower facilities available. However, a port-a-potty is located nearby for convenience. Guests are provided with a picnic table, four folding chairs, and a fire ring, which are perfect for cooking meals and enjoying cozy campfires under the night sky.
To ensure a comfortable stay, visitors should bring their own bed linens, sleeping bags, pillows, water, fire starters, and insect repellent. Firewood is available for purchase on-site, allowing you to easily maintain a fire throughout your stay. Please note that access to the campground is limited to vehicles under 25 feet due to a railroad bridge on the road, so plan your transportation accordingly. Advanced reservations are required as the campground is unmanned and operates on a self-check-in basis.
Check-in is available after 2 PM, and guests will receive a code to unlock the key box upon making their reservation. The cabin offers direct access to the river, providing a perfect backdrop for leisurely walks or quiet moments of reflection. Whether you are looking to spend time by the water or simply enjoy the fresh air, this cabin provides a unique and memorable experience for those who love the outdoors and appreciate a rustic, quiet environment.

Customer Reviews
My wife and I stayed there this weekend and I have to say WOW what place I said it was my wife's birthday and the owners went over and above with their welcome package. I would 100% highly recommend staying here if you are into hiking, horseriding, or like us you just want to get away from the rat race. . Total relaxation and the pods are so cosy and we arrived in the middle of storm amy, you would never know there was a storm outside.what a beautiful facility and location
My stay at Forth Mountain Glamping was nothing short of amazing. The setting is peaceful and tucked away in nature, yet still close enough to explore Wexford’s highlights. The pods are beautifully designed, cozy, and spotless,offering the perfect balance of comfort and that “back-to-nature” feeling. Waking up to birdsong and mountain views was a real treat, and evenings spent by the fire pit made it extra special. The little touches (comfortable beds, thoughtful amenities, and warm hospitality) really set this place apart. It’s an ideal escape for couples, families, or anyone wanting a break from busy life. I left feeling recharged and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and relaxing experience in Ireland!
Very impressive. Pod was amazing 👏 really liked it. Had everything we needed and more ..we stayed in pod 8 (the best views) king of the hills. Richard and his wife where amazing the staff on site very helpful. Place is secure, close parking. Everything was just perfect we really enjoyed it. The bbq and fire pit are a must have also. Great places nearby also. We will be back. Only thing that would make this better would be hot tub. But it's already 10/10. Beds and great everything top class
