Do I need reservations for vehicle access?

No. There are no timed-entry or vehicle reservations for New River Gorge NP & Preserve.

Is there an entrance fee?

There is no entrance fee for the park.

Pets are allowed on all park trails but must be restrained on a leash no longer than 6 feet.

Shoulder seasons (spring and fall) typically see fewer visitors; weekday visits help avoid peak crowds in summer.

Camping is allowed only in designated primitive campgrounds on a first-come, first-served basis; 14 days within a 28-day period.
