Keep Cardareva Alive – A Community Weekend on the Current River!

For generations, folks from Shannon and Reynolds County have gathered at the Cardareva gravel bar to celebrate what makes our community strong — friendship, freedom, and the shared joy of river life.

Let’s keep that tradition alive.
Hoping to see old and make new friends for a weekend of camping, floating, cornhole, washers, music, and good old-fashioned fun. Jon boats can run, tubers can float, and the evenings will bring music, campfires, and community under the stars.

What to Expect:
• Camping with friends and neighbors
• Floating and fun on the river
• Cornhole, washers, and river games
• Evening music and fireside gathering
• A peaceful stand for a place we all love

Why It Matters: ONSR is trying to limit cluster camping and access to this gravel bar. But Cardareva and community is part of who we are. This isn’t just a gathering — it’s a message that this gravel bar still matters to the people who’ve loved it for generations.

Bring your campers, your tents, your boats, your music, and your stories. Let’s make it a weekend to remember.
