Gala Campground - Site #6

The River Front Campsite at Gala offers a peaceful and scenic getaway along the banks of the James River in Eagle Rock Virginia. Nestled on an eight-acre parcel at the back of a working dairy farm, the campground provides both drive in and paddle in access for visitors looking to enjoy the river and surrounding nature. Each campsite is equipped with a picnic table, fire ring, and level gravel area for tents, making it easy for guests to set up and relax. The campground is unmanned, so guests should plan ahead and make advanced reservations to secure a spot. Access to the site requires passing under a railroad bridge that limits vehicle length, so larger RVs are not able to enter. This location is ideal for those looking to enjoy a quiet retreat in a natural setting while having the convenience of being just a short drive or paddle from nearby shops in Buchanan.

Guests should come prepared as the campground does not provide utilities or running water, and visitors need to bring their own supplies including drinking water and camping gear. Port a potties and a dumpster are available on site for basic needs. The area allows for a variety of outdoor activities such as fishing, paddling, and riverside walks. Whether staying a single night or several, the campsite provides a rustic experience that emphasizes connection with nature and tranquility away from busy city life. Visitors can enjoy campfires, scenic river views, and the calm of the countryside while having easy access to nearby river adventures.
