Cabin on the James River

Experience the allure of nature at Gala River Front Campground, nestled in the serene landscapes of Eagle Rock, VA. Situated downstream from the convergence of the Jackson River and the Cowpasture River into the majestic James River, our campground offers an idyllic setting for outdoor enthusiasts.
Unplug and reconnect with nature in our primitive cabin, where simplicity meets comfort. Adjacent to the pristine riverside, guests can enjoy the convenience of a nearby port-a-potty while immersing themselves in the natural splendor surrounding them.
Please note - there is no electricity, running water or showers. Port-a-potty's are available.

Just what we needed
We just needed a place to lay our heads to sleep and a hot shower. The spot was perfect and felt private. The host was very friendly and communicative.

Great time!
We throughly enjoyed our stay! The cabin, though primitive, did offer four folding chairs, firewood, some cooking supplies, inside table and chairs, and a nice bed. We enjoyed cooking over the open fire, fishing at the river, and enjoying nature's beauty! The porta-potties (2) were clean and had tissue and hand sanitizer. It was great there were solar lights (2) inside the cabin, and one as a porch light. We drove less than 1/2 hour to VA Mountain Vineyards and had a wonderful time with a glass of wine and antipasto salad enjoying the beautiful venue and Mountain Views! Great campground, great location, great time on the James!

Great little spot
Great primitive cabin right on the James river. The hosts provided firewood and water. The cabin was clean and the beds were comfortable. We will definitely be back!

Perfect Weekend Getaway
We loved our time here! We actually thought it better than the listing. Loved the extra touches like the bowl with hand soap and towels, the grill accessories, ghost story books and more. Cabin, campsite and port-a-john were all clean. Campground has only 15 sites, just two have cabins. We hiked every day leaving the campground. Many beautiful trails and parks within short drives. Would definitely stay again!

Our family loved this little cabin!
It was so peaceful and inviting! The river is right down the lane and very fun for the kids to play in. The cabin itself is clean and has everything you need to camp.
