Gala Campground - Site #12

The Gala River Front Campground offers a peaceful and scenic camping experience on an eight acre parcel located at 80 Thompson Drive in Eagle Rock Virginia. The site is about thirty minutes or twenty one river miles upstream from Buchanan and provides both drive in and paddle in access, making it convenient for a variety of outdoor enthusiasts. Each campsite includes a picnic table, fire ring, and level gravel area suitable for tents. The campground also features a group river access area, port a potties, and a dumpster for trash. There are no utilities or water provided on site, so guests must bring their own drinking water. 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. Advanced reservations are required as the campground is unmanned, providing a quiet and private environment for families or small groups looking for a simple outdoor experience.

Access by road requires passing under a railroad bridge that restricts vehicles longer than twenty five feet, making the site unsuitable for large RVs. The campground is ideal for those seeking a rustic riverside getaway where visitors can relax, explore nearby trails, or enjoy recreational activities such as swimming or fishing. Its combination of primitive campsites, river access, and natural surroundings offers an authentic outdoor experience. Guests can enjoy the serenity of the area while camping close to nature, making it a perfect choice for short trips or weekend escapes where privacy and simplicity are valued. The site provides an excellent setting for families or friends to connect with the outdoors and unwind from daily routines.
