Scenic Riverside Tent Sites Located Along The James River In Buchanan Virginia
The River Front campground, located at 1800 Arcadia Road in Buchanan Virginia, features ten exclusive tent-only campsites positioned along the 20.5-mile mark of the James River. This site offers both drive-in and paddle-in access, providing a versatile experience for all types of outdoor enthusiasts. Each site is carefully maintained with a picnic table, a fire ring, and a level gravel area, ensuring a comfortable foundation for your tent setup while you enjoy the beautiful riverside surroundings.
The property is equipped with essential amenities including a group river access area, portable toilets, and a trash dumpster. Because there are no water or utility hookups available, visitors are required to bring their own water and must practice leave-no-trace principles by packing out all trash. This commitment to maintaining the natural environment ensures that the campground remains a pristine and peaceful destination for all future guests who visit this lovely stretch of the James River.
Conveniently located six river miles downstream from the Buchanan canoe livery and thirteen miles upstream from the Glasgow boat landing, this site is a prime location for paddlers. Access is straightforward via I-81 exit 168, followed by a short drive on Arcadia Road. Please be aware that no RVs or trailers are permitted, and vehicle length is strictly limited due to a low railroad bridge nearby. This restriction helps maintain the quiet, tent-only atmosphere of the campground.
Guests staying at this location will enjoy a serene natural setting with direct access to the river for paddling or fishing. Whether you are spending your time relaxing by the fire ring or exploring the river, the campground offers a perfect retreat from daily life. By preparing for a primitive camping experience, you can fully appreciate the beauty of the James River and the quiet charm of the Arcadia area during your stay in Virginia.
