Hi,

I'd like to find a campground near one of Virginia's rivers where there are shuttle services that can drop me off upriver or pick me up below river.

Thanks for any leads!

This is in Harpers Ferry in the eastern panhandle of WV, but the take out is in VA, if that counts...:blush:
River Riders has a campground right on the Potomac River just above dam 3 (It's been demolished by the Corp of Engineers) This would give you direct access to some class 3 water. They also run rafting trips down the Shenandoah, so I'm sure they would have shuttle service for kayacking.

If you camp at Horsehoe Flats (Scottsville Va.) they will. Me and a couple buddies go there once a year, they rent I bring my own. They have two drop off points, the long one is about 6-8 moving with the current the other is about 4 hours I think.
