There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling spots. The scenic
beauty of Virginia and the cool fresh water attract people from near and far. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more
forgiving, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are less demanding. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so go ahead and pack your camping stuff.
