RV Parks In Richmond, Virginia

Americamps RV Resort is the closest full-service option to the city, with 176 full-hookup sites, 109 of them pull-throughs designed for big rigs, about 19 minutes from the historic district. The Richmond North / Kings Dominion KOA Holiday sits next to the Kings Dominion amusement park about 25 miles north in Doswell. Rockahock Campground & Resort offers full-hookup camping along the Chickahominy River with a marina in New Kent County. For public land, Pocahontas State Park about 20 miles south has electric-and-water sites and miles of trails. Together they cover city-close resorts, theme-park camping, riverfront sites, and a big state park.

Yes, the private parks do. Americamps RV Resort offers 176 full-hookup sites with 30 and 50 amp service, water, and sewer, and the Kings Dominion KOA and Rockahock Campground & Resort also provide full-hookup sites. The public Pocahontas State Park is the exception: its sites have electric and water hookups but no sewer at the site, with most on 20 and 30 amp and a few 50-amp sites in the 66-129 loop, plus a dump station in the park. So if you want full hookups including sewer, choose one of the private resorts; if partial hookups are fine, the state park is an excellent value.

Private full-hookup sites at parks like Americamps RV Resort and the Kings Dominion KOA generally run about $45 to $75 a night depending on season and site type, with summer and amusement-park weekends at the top. Riverfront sites at Rockahock fall in a similar range. The public Pocahontas State Park is the budget choice at roughly $35 for Virginia residents and about $40 for non-residents, trading sewer hookups for a dump station. Eligible guests can use the military MWR campground for around $35 a night. For longer stays, ask about weekly rates at the private parks.

Yes. Pocahontas State Park is the main public campground, about 20 miles south of Richmond in Chesterfield County. It is a large park with campsites that have electric and water hookups (no sewer), most on 20 and 30 amp with a few 50-amp sites in the 66-129 loop, accommodating RVs up to 40 feet, plus buddy sites for larger groups. The park offers trails, lakes, an aquatic center, and mountain biking. Reservations go through the Virginia State Parks system online at reservevaparks.com or by phone, and the year-round camping fee is about $35 for residents and $40 for non-residents.

For summer weekends, book as early as you can. Pocahontas State Park fills its best sites well in advance for warm-weather weekends, and the Kings Dominion KOA gets busy during amusement-park season, so reserve those the moment your dates are set. The larger private resorts like Americamps usually have more availability but still tighten up in peak season. Spring and fall shoulder periods are easier and you can often book on shorter notice, though weekends remain popular. The military MWR campground is first-come, so eligible guests should have a backup plan on busy weekends.

Spring and fall are the most comfortable, with mild temperatures, lower humidity, and beautiful scenery, whether the spring green or fall color. Summer is hot, humid, and busy, with peak crowds at Kings Dominion and downtown attractions and frequent afternoon thunderstorms, though it is prime time if you want the full range of activities open. Winter is cool and quiet, with occasional snow and ice; Pocahontas State Park stays open year-round while some private parks scale back. For the best mix of weather and lighter crowds, target April to early June or September through October.

Yes. Americamps RV Resort is the easiest big-rig choice, with 109 pull-through full-hookup sites built for larger coaches, and it sits close to the city. The Kings Dominion KOA also handles big rigs. Getting there is the main planning point, since Richmond is a busy interstate crossroads; use the I-295 beltway to route around downtown congestion rather than threading the central interchanges. At Pocahontas State Park, sites accommodate RVs up to 40 feet with buddy sites to 50 feet, so most rigs fit, though you should check individual site details and avoid GPS shortcuts onto narrow park roads with a large rig.

Yes. The Richmond North / Kings Dominion KOA Holiday is located right next to Kings Dominion and Soak City, about 25 miles north of Richmond in Doswell, which makes it the obvious base if the amusement park is your main draw. It offers RV sites that handle everything from pop-ups to big rigs, with full and partial hookups and typical KOA amenities. Staying next door saves the daily commute and lets you come and go between rides. Because it is popular during the operating season, book well ahead for summer weekends and holiday periods when the park is busiest.

Yes, and it is one of the city's signature draws. Richmond is one of the few U.S. cities with genuine urban whitewater, thanks to the James River running right through downtown. The James River Park System offers trails, put-ins, and rapids, and local outfitters run rafting trips through the summer, from family floats to more serious whitewater depending on water levels. Staying at a Richmond-area campground puts you a short drive from the access points. Go in the morning when possible, since summer afternoons can bring thunderstorms, and check flows and outfitter schedules before you plan a river day.

Quite a lot beyond downtown. Pocahontas State Park south of the city has miles of hiking and mountain-biking trails, lakes, and an aquatic center, making a full outdoor day. Kings Dominion to the north is a major amusement and water park. The James River Park System threads greenery and rapids through the metro for paddling, biking, and walking. In town you have colonial and Civil War history, the Virginia State Capitol, and a strong museum scene. Between the river, the parks, the theme park, and the history, Richmond easily fills several days from an RV base.

Yes. Rockahock Campground & Resort offers full-hookup RV sites along the Chickahominy River in New Kent County, with a marina and boat ramps, which makes it a good pick if you want to combine camping with boating or fishing. It is a more relaxed, riverside setting than the city-close resorts. For water access of a different kind, Pocahontas State Park has lakes for paddling and fishing, though its sites are electric and water only. If waterfront full hookups are the priority, Rockahock is the standout, so check its seasonal operating dates and book ahead for summer.

The private full-hookup parks all offer on-site sewer and water at the sites, so staying at Americamps RV Resort, the Kings Dominion KOA, or Rockahock means you can dump and fill without leaving the park. Pocahontas State Park does not have sewer at the sites but provides a dump station and fresh water for campers. If you are passing through or dry camping and need a standalone dump station, plan your stops along the interstate corridors where services cluster. For a full rundown of dump-station locations in the area, see our companion Richmond RV dump stations guide.

It varies. Pocahontas State Park and the larger private resorts like Americamps RV Resort generally operate year-round, while some seasonal parks and the Kings Dominion KOA scale back or close outside the warm-weather months when the amusement park is dark. Winter is the quiet season, with cool weather and occasional snow, so it is worth confirming operating dates directly if you are traveling in the cold months. From spring through fall everything is open and demand is high, so the practical concern in season is booking early rather than finding a park closed.
