CANOE CAMPING TRIPS make for a great get away. Similar to backpacking trips, they let you experience the wild outdoors but without having to carry all the gear. All our trips are self guided and include camping on private land or in National Forest locations along the river. Prices also include use of detailed river maps, safety orientation, boats, paddles, life jackets, dry bags, dry boxes, and shuttles.

TRO is one of the few canoe liveries in Virginia that has specialized offering wilderness style whitewater canoe camping trips for their customers. We really believe we have the best location in the state for these types of trips. All camping is primitive with no facilities. We have carefully scouted and mapped all our trips. We have established sites for all our access points and for campsites. We have permission to use these spots and never break trespass laws by putting our customers in across private property or railroad tracks or directing them to camp wherever they wish. Most of the property along our rivers is private, so careful planning is important.

Reservations are required for all trips and can be me made by calling our main store number at 540-261-7334 or by completing the reservation request tab at the top of this page. Please note the total passenger and gear weight limits for our canoes are 1000 lbs.
