Wild Haven Camping: $79

$79/PERSON for RESTore to ROAR Retreat

$79/SPOT for all other occasions

Wild Haven is just that. A haven in the midst of the wild outdoors near the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, where you can get away from the rat race of the world and move at your own sacred pace towards hope and healing. You can opt to walk alongside, wade in, or dreamily float down the New River and bask in the sun. Maybe enjoy a picnic by our Kairos waterfall. Notice and experience the awe and wondrous joys of nature as your soul comes back to life breathing in the fresh mountain air! Of course, on 97.65 acres, there are plenty of trails through the forest to hike, or if you like, you can blaze your own!

What you'll get (first come first serve for the best spots):

  • Bring your own tent and camping supplies.
  • Spots are first come, first serve. The premiere spot is alongside the waterfall, but even if that's taken, you can camp by Helton creek instead.
  • R&R Retreat participants will have access to a portapotty and a cabin nearby for a hot shower. *General campers may contact New River State Park for bathroom and shower access.
  • R&R Retreat Participants will receive a delicious 4 course breakfast at The River House Inn & Restaurant.
  • General Campers may enjoy a hot breakfast at The River House Inn & Resturant for $15/person with reservations 24 hours in advance ... or bring/find your own! (Plenty of restaurants to choose from in nearby West Jefferson!)
