Amazing views

Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.

An active hay field nestled between the river and the railroad. A great place to enjoy some R and R. We love to float the James and there is easy access to the river on our property. A beautiful field as well as some trees for added shade. Fun to hear the trains and the water as you get amazing views of the night sky.Narrow entrance is marked with a sign, James River Trail. Drive over the tracks and through the hayfield to find your slice of wooded, riverfront camping. All sites are primitive with one shared portable toilet. All sites have a picnic table and fire pit with a grate. There are two active railroad lines; one on each side of the river. They do run through the day and night and are obligated to whistle when approaching our crossing. I have my camp listed as dispersed but all 5 sites are labeled: I treat it first come, first choice. All sites are on the river! I can't accept or allow RV's or trailers. Zoning restrictions-sorry. Firewood is available at $10 per wagon load. We are very close to the Jefferson National Forest where you can find great hikes like the Belfast trail fondly called Devil's Marbleyard. We are also just a few miles from the Natural Bridge State Park.

James River Depot

Great camping hangout

Well maintained and lovely camp site. Each site has easy river access and have good tree separation. We rarely heard our neighbors. Easy to find with the host directions. Only drawback was the two sets train tracks that passed by with some frequency.

James River Depot

We had a great time camping at James River Depot! The campsites are very spacious and private, and the firewood and bathrooms are conveniently located.
