For something away from the crowds of the New River Valley and those large campgrounds, check out Camp Clinch. It is only about 20 minutes from I-81 in the Great Southwest of Virginina. They have WIFI, but cell service is pretty non-existent.
Natural Tunnel SP is about 10 minutes away and also offers camping, but it is not ON the river.
You get mountains, you get trails, you get a river, a full hookup site and plenty of silence.
If you want to venture to TN, Douglas Dam Headwater Campground is right on Douglas Lake, a part of the Tennessee Valley Authority. There aren't many trails close by, but you are right on the lake.
