Zips and Dips Overnight Package

Ziplining & Rafting Overnight Package

Let’s be honest, planning a vacation to a National Park can feel overwhelming. If you’re the organizer responsible for planning the trip, balancing lodging, activities, schedules, and everyone’s expectations can quickly become a daunting task.  You want to see as much as you can, have as many adventures as possible, and have time to relax.  And, we get it.  

So, we have combined two of our most popular trips into two days of adventure and one night of camping inside the New River Gorge National Park & Preserve at our private campsite,  Erskine Flats. Soar through the trees viewing the gorge and the river from this unique vantage point. What river?  The New River of course! The river that on day two you’ll be zooming down hitting Class III-V whitewater. And the time in between? Camping riverside, beneath a canopy of trees and a sky full of stars.  Chill with your friends and family on the side of the New, while we prepare your meals. Tents are set up, meals are prepared, tiki torches and lanterns light the way, and there are even primitive bathrooms and a shower. And what do you have to do? Click Check Availability and book your trip. Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy. Not so daunting after all, is it?

After gearing up for your zipline tour with a helmet and full-body harness, you’ll spend the afternoon soaring through the trees before taking a short hike from the end of the course to camp. Dinner is provided at the campsite, where you’ll spend the night in dome tents with sleeping pads.

On day two, you’ll wake up beside the river and prepare for a full day of rafting on the Lower New River. This stretch features approximately 20–25 Class III–V rapids over 8–10 miles, delivering an exciting and action-packed day on the water.
