Discover The Primitive Paddle In Camping Experience At Back Run River Front Campsites
The Back Run River Front Campsites offer a unique primitive paddle in camping experience specifically designed for guests participating in overnight river trips. Located near Gilmore Mills in Virginia, these sites are situated fifteen and a half miles downstream from Buchanan and five miles below the Alpine boat landing. This secluded property is accessible via State Route 708 near Natural Bridge Station, providing a quiet and scenic riverside setting for those seeking a truly natural outdoor adventure.
Each individual campsite is equipped with a picnic table, a fire ring, and a level gravel area perfectly suited for pitching tents. While the site provides a group river access area and a porta potty for convenience, there are no utilities or running water available on the premises. Guests are required to bring their own drinking water and must follow a strict pack out policy to remove all trash, ensuring the preservation of this beautiful natural environment.
The camping rate is set at fourteen dollars per person per night plus tax, with a minimum thirty six dollar camping fee required for all bookings. Children under the age of five are not counted for billing purposes, making this an accessible option for families. Because the sites are not generally accessible by vehicles, the paddle in access encourages a sense of adventure, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the surrounding river landscape and local wildlife.
This campground is ideal for those who appreciate a more secluded and rustic camping experience away from the noise of modern life. By providing a quiet riverside atmosphere, it serves as a perfect base for river explorers and nature enthusiasts alike. Whether you are navigating the river or simply looking for a peaceful spot to rest under the stars, these campsites offer a memorable and authentic connection to the great outdoors in the heart of Virginia.

Customer Reviews
Hi there! Mary and Kathleen were the best hosts ever! We stayed three nights. Very large pitch area in amongst Christmas trees and amazing backdrop of the widow hills and mountains. Anything we needed Mary and Kathleen helped us with. Wicklow Way Camping is for those that enjoy great scenery, quiet, clean facilities including toilets, kitchen sauna and surrounding grounds. Plenty of room for large tents and trailer tents. Very reasonably priced also Close to roundwood village with excellent restaurants and activities. Thanks guys! Phil.
My girlfriend and I went to the area to watch the meteor shower. We called when it was already closed, but a receptionist kindly picked up the phone and told us we could stay overnight and pay the following morning. The lady was very kind to us. Once inside, we camped in the semi-wild area and it was magnificent. I would 100% recommend it.
We spent two nights at Wicklow Way Camping, and what an experience it was. Mary was so helpful allowing us to book at the last min in " semi wild " camping area. it was lovely and quiet our tent area, it was a little walk to the facilities [cooking & toilets] which were cleaned and maintained to a high standard. it was our first time camping with the kids and I would highly recommend it!
