Back Run Campsite #7

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.
