Escape to the banks of Virginia's legendary New River and experience camping without compromise. Nestled along the riverfront at New River Junction, our luxury safari tents combine the beauty of the outdoors with the comfort of a fully furnished retreat.

Wake up to breathtaking river views, enjoy your morning coffee on a private deck, and spend your day tubing, fishing, kayaking, or simply relaxing beside one of the oldest rivers in the world. When adventure gives way to evening, return to a comfortable bed and the peaceful sounds of the river flowing just steps away.

Located minutes from Blacksburg and Virginia Tech, New River Junction has welcomed outdoor enthusiasts, families, and adventurers since 1982. Whether you're planning a weekend getaway, a family vacation, or a unique glamping experience, this riverfront safari tent offers the perfect basecamp for exploring the New River Valley.

A shared restroom and shower facility is available for all glamping guests. Please note that it is located elsewhere within the campground and is not adjacent to the safari tents.
