At New River Ridge, you’ll find the perfect blend of natural beauty, privacy, and proximity to incredible attractions. Come and create lasting memories in this picturesque mountain paradise!This site requires 4WD and will be closed in wet weather. You must arrive in daytime as navigating the road to the site is difficult at night. At least for now (we're building a new road!), the road is not completely graveled and has tight switchbacks and steep grades. Even when dry, this requires high clearance 4WD and comfort driving on narrow, rough, mountain roads. When wet, the road is not passable and the site cannot be reached. Perfect for overland adventures! The Mountain View Platform site atop New River Ridge in a prime location for long range Mountain View’s and morning sunrise. This flat grassy site Includes a wooden platform with Adirondack chairs and a Solo Stove for night time stargazing or can be used to setup a tent pad. Flat parking available behind the platform is perfect for truck camping / overlanding rigs and provides easy access to your campsite.

Mountain View Platform Campsite

Camping with a view

Firstly, the view is unmatched. That coupled with the privacy, this is my new favorite campsite. The wooden deck is a very convenient feature. Makes cooking and lounging that much easier. The only "complaint" (I use this word very lightly) I would have is the trail to get up to the campsite. It is in the process of being graded and laid with gravel so it was hectic going up and down. Matt was very communicative about this and we came prepared, so it really wasn't a problem. Once that trail is finished I don't know if I could think of a single negative thing about this site. If you're on the fence about booking here, just do it. It was 15° for our first night and we only had 3 season gear. Somehow we didn't freeze to death, but the view made it worth it. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Secluded and quiet

Matt has a spectacular campsite with wonderful long-distance views. The site is very private and quiet, a great place to find some peace and enjoy nature. The wood deck is a great place to enjoy the sunrise with coffee and the smokeless fire pit is a major plus. My only regret was having to limit my trip to one night. I highly recommend New River Ridge!

Private breathtaking view

Matt’s campsite provided a secluded, tranquil, and quiet oasis with a stunning 360 degree view of NC’s mountains that were still in peak fall foliage. The area was clean and well maintained, with the chairs and fire pit being a nice touch. Everything he says in the listing is 100% accurate, so read the listing in full and ensure your car is 4WD and you have enough necessary materials for your trip to stay up on the mountain. So glad we found this campsite!
