Can't wait to get on the river? We feel the same way, but Mother Nature sometimes has plans of her own. You can check river conditions here :

The James River is currently 15 ft and rising quickly with muddy conditions … whomp whomp …. Hope to see it clear up soon! But always thankful for the rainfall ☀️

PSA 🏕️ River Front Get Away has experienced some high levels of rainfall and high traffic this month as it is peak season.

We have had to make some cancellations and send out cautions to upcoming guests. It is possible we will have to cancel and block off the site longer if the land does not improve.

July rainfall levels makes it difficult for us to upkeep the grass. And the level of bookings we have causes little time in between booking to ensure all is perfect 👌🏻 if you read the reviews, each time of year can be a little different. Chose your time to spend here wisely.

We do our best, and our spot is a privilege to share.
We always recommend early spring and late summer to get the most out of this area.

Happy camping 🏕️

James River Batteau tours! Check them out😎

The amber of the sunset yesterday
my oh my could they always stay
as each dawn break come another day
the blessing of another sunrise and sunset
a reminder we are given another day

the golden pleasures begin to fade
my oh my I'll never see again this day
say not so heart, they only went their way

The orange, the red, the blue shade
have changed to a sober grey
a silver lining of our yesterdays
give praise to the dimming glow for we are given another day
