At Smith River RV Park you can enjoy 0.6 miles of riverfront property boarding Smith River in Bassett, VA. Take advantage of this private property to fish, play in the river, or just enjoy a walk and appreciate all the beautiful parts of Mother Nature.

Trout Fishing

Smith River in Virginia is considered one of the best trout fishing spots in the state, particularly for brown trout, due to its consistent cold water release from Philpott Dam, making it a great year-round fishery with excellent fishing opportunities throughout the river's length; some sections are designated as special regulation brown trout waters while others are stocked with rainbow trout

Do You Have Boat Access?

Yes, we do! Our ramp is made of rock that goes down a minor grade to the river for access with a small boat. It's also a great access to kayak or to put in for tubing. This is our exit point for groups enjoying the services we have for Smith River Adventures (tubbing, kayaking, fishing). You can park your trailer or vehicle at the landing as well.
