Wonderful location for paddling the Upper James River (We ran twice: Springwood to Arcadia and Swinging Bridge to Arcadia). Primitive sites w no water/electric but flat tent sites, mostly shaded ... except Site 1 which is field camping for larger groups (right next to main boat ramp). Every site has a picnic table and a fire pit/ring of some sort. All sites have river access ... either adjacent to the site or down a path to the river. Parking on the camp road is easy, and you can pull a vehicle in at some sites. Sites are pretty well separated. Light sleepers beware: The train passes by across the river at least once or twice a night (we enjoyed this).

There's a convenience store a few minutes down the road. Port-o-pots, dumpster, and firewood ($5/bunch) are on site. The were some dead tree limbs ("widowmakers") overhanging camp sites ... and the gate lock is a bit janky. But otherwise, it's all good. The land owners are super friendly and helpful and I give this place a thumbs up. If the site photos help, please give them a thumbs up 👍
