Back Run Campsite #6

The Back Run River Front Campsite offers a primitive paddle in camping experience for up to six campers. Located near Gilmore Mills in Natural Bridge Station Virginia, the site is accessible only by river for customers taking an overnight river trip. It is situated 15.5 miles downstream of Buchanan and five miles below Alpine boat landing on river left. The property lies six miles above the Glasgow boat landing and can be reached from State Route 708 via a private road called James River Trail. Each campsite includes a picnic table, fire ring, and level gravel area for tents. The campground also provides a group river access area and a porta potty. There are no utilities or water, so guests must bring their own water and pack out all trash. The rate is fourteen dollars per person per night plus tax with a minimum thirty six dollar camping fee, and children under five are not counted for billing purposes.

The campsite offers a quiet and scenic riverside setting perfect for those seeking a natural and secluded camping experience. Campers can relax by the river, explore the surrounding area, or enjoy a campfire at their own pace. As the site is paddle in only, it encourages a more adventurous and immersive outdoor experience. Reservations must be made in advance, ensuring each group has a dedicated space along the river. This location is ideal for small groups or families looking for a simple and peaceful getaway close to nature.
