A free, primitive campground right along the New River, Army Camp is a favorite put-in and take-out point for rafters and a genuinely convenient, no-cost overnight option for anyone exploring the gorge. Sites are first-come, first-served with no reservation system and minimal facilities — a vault toilet and not much else — but the riverside setting and zero cost make it a popular choice for climbers and paddlers passing through. Given the lack of amenities and first-come basis, this suits campers who don’t need much beyond a flat spot near the water, not a full-service camping experience.
