Camping near Pembroke, Virginia
Pembroke sits along the New River in Giles County, southwest Virginia, roughly a 20-minute drive west of Blacksburg on US-460. The town is a practical base for RV travelers exploring the New River corridor, the Cascades waterfall trail, and the surrounding Jefferson National Forest.
Private riverside campgrounds cluster tightly around town. Eggleston Springs Campground operates beside the New River with a boat launch and full-hookup RV sites. New River Junction Campground offers river access popular with tubers and paddlers, while Kairos Resort and Sportsman RV Campground serve travelers looking for standard RV amenities. Cabins By The Creek provides a non-RV lodging alternative for mixed groups.
Beyond private parks, campers can access developed public sites at Claytor Lake State Park about an hour south, and dispersed camping in the Jefferson National Forest at elevations that keep summer nights cooler than the Piedmont.
Things to do around Pembroke
The signature outing is the Cascades National Recreation Trail, a roughly four-mile loop that follows Little Stony Creek to a 66-foot waterfall. The trailhead is about four miles from town on SR 623, and the Forest Service charges a per-vehicle day-use fee at a self-serve kiosk.
The New River runs right through Pembroke and supports fishing, kayaking, and tubing, with local outfitters shuttling paddlers between put-ins. The Appalachian Trail crosses the region and connects hikers to nearby ridgeline peaks. For lake recreation, Claytor Lake to the south adds a swimming beach, marina, and boat rentals on a 4,500-acre reservoir on the New River.

The practical RV camping season runs from mid-April through late October, when overnight lows stay above freezing and the private riverside campgrounds are fully open. Summer draws the heaviest traffic on the New River and at the Cascades trailhead, where the parking area can back up on weekends.
Spring brings heavy rainfall, with May typically among the wettest months; expect greened-up forests and strong river flow, but plan for muddy trails and occasional flash-flood advisories on Little Stony Creek. Fall delivers cooler nights, reliably clear days, and Appalachian leaf color that usually peaks in mid to late October.
Winter is quiet. Snow can fall from December through March, some private parks reduce services, and higher elevations in the Jefferson National Forest may see icy roads. Travelers should confirm hookup availability and road conditions with each operator before arriving in the off-season.
How to book campgrounds near Pembroke
Private parks around Pembroke, including Eggleston Springs Campground, New River Junction Campground, Kairos Resort, and Sportsman RV Campground, are booked directly through each operator by phone or website. Riverside sites at these parks fill first on summer weekends and around Independence Day, so reserving several weeks ahead is recommended for peak season.
Claytor Lake State Park, the nearest public campground with RV hookups, is reserved through the Virginia State Parks system online or by calling 800-933-PARK, up to 11 months in advance. The campground season there runs from the first Friday in March to the first Monday in December. Dispersed sites in the Jefferson National Forest are generally first-come, first-served and do not accept reservations.
What to expect on the ground
Pembroke is a small rural town, so most services, groceries, and fuel are stocked in Pembroke itself or in Blacksburg 20 minutes east. US-460 is the main paved corridor and handles larger rigs well, but the side roads to the Cascades trailhead and to some Forest Service sites narrow quickly and can be tight for long trailers.
Sites at the private riverside parks range from primitive to 30- and 50-amp full hookups, with bathhouses and river access on the New River. Cell coverage is workable in town but drops off in the national forest and in the river gorges.
Expect black bears, deer, and ticks in the surrounding forest; store food securely and check for ticks after hikes. Firewood should be bought locally to avoid moving invasive pests.
