Accessible by both car and boat, Army Camp sits along the New River in Prince, West Virginia, offering 11 established sites managed by the National Park Service. The campground provides gravel tent pads, fire rings, picnic tables, and lamp posts at each site, with two ADA-accessible locations available. Pit toilets serve the area, though no potable water is available on-site.
Sites are spacious and well-maintained, with direct access to the New River for fishing, swimming, and launching watercraft. The campground fills regularly during peak seasons, though day-use areas can accommodate overflow camping when needed. Cell service is limited or nonexistent, with the nearest reliable coverage 20-30 minutes away by car.
Maile and Matt J. found the "pit toilet building was well maintained and no smell, only issue was lack of water." The gravel pads work well for both tents and RVs, and the location provides immediate river access with a small beach area for launching boats or relaxing by the water.
Campers seeking additional options can explore campgrounds around Prince, or visit nearby Grandview/Glade - New River National Scenic River just 0.1 miles south. The no-fee camping and river access make this a practical base for multi-day river trips or weekend getaways.
