New River Gorge NPS - Army Camp Campground

Nestled within the breathtaking landscape of the New River Gorge, Army Camp Campground offers a rugged and authentic outdoor experience for those looking to disconnect. This primitive site provides a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the West Virginia wilderness, serving as a quiet basecamp for adventurers exploring the surrounding region. The terrain reflects the wild, hilly character of the Southeast, making it an ideal destination for visitors who appreciate a raw, back-to-basics connection with nature.

As a completely primitive location, this campground does not offer hookups, facilities, or modern amenities. Guests should arrive fully self-sufficient and prepared for a true off-grid experience. Because there are no designated services on-site, campers must practice leave-no-trace principles to help preserve the integrity of this stunning environment.

This campground is best suited for tent campers and car campers who prioritize solitude and simplicity over comfort. It is an excellent choice for experienced outdoor enthusiasts who are comfortable navigating primitive settings and want to enjoy the year-round beauty of the New River Gorge area without the crowds found at more developed parks.
