9 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Americamps RV Resort in Ashland offers spacious pull-through RV sites with full hookups including water, electric, sewer, and cable TV. Sites feature gravel pads with some concrete options available near the entrance. Most spots accommodate big rigs with level surfaces and adequate spacing for slide-outs. "We enjoyed staying at our corner pull-through site F2 even though it was gravel with some muddy spots. There are some paved spots near the entrance," noted one camper. Thousand Trails Williamsburg provides year-round motorhome sites with water and electric hookups, while American Heritage RV Park in Williamsburg maintains 160 sites with 50-amp service. The Richmond Family Recreation RV Camp features military-only RV sites with electric hookups and 50-amp service but lacks sewer connections at individual sites.
RV travelers should plan ahead during peak seasons as availability becomes limited, particularly at parks near Interstate 95. Dumping facilities vary significantly between locations, with Americamps and American Heritage offering on-site sanitary dump stations, while others provide full sewer hookups at each site. Cell service remains consistent throughout the region with Verizon coverage specifically mentioned as reliable in multiple reviews. For RV campers traveling with pets, most parks in the area welcome animals, though specific restrictions may apply. Several campgrounds operate seasonally, including Cozy Acres Campground RV Resort (April through mid-November) and Thousand Trails Harbor View (April through mid-October). Proximity to service stations and propane fill locations should be considered when planning extended stays, as not all parks offer on-site propane service.

GuideEnjoying this campground. Close to all the attractions. Incredible staff, super friendly. Pool and game room are wonderful.
TravelerSomething for everybody; long term slots, primitive camping, with electricity and water, with full hookups, day use ramps for Lake Anna, huge covered picnic area for large gatherings, rv sites in the woods and others on the edge of large field. Staff are great.
ScoutIt was a well maintained campsite. Clean bathrooms and great hikes to fossil beach.
TravelerWe enjoyed our stay at American Heritage. We were offered a change of our assigned site if we would prefer to be closer to the bath house. We preferred staying where we were until we discovered that the electric hook-up was far enough away on the grass that we couldn't reach. (We have a little Scamp 13 and the plug was just a little too short.) We had a pull-through site(every other row was pull-through).
It had a full hook-up. The cover on the electric post was missing rivets, so we had to put it back in place ourselves, but there was no problem with the electric. We used 30 Amp for the RV and plugged in our backup battery to the 15 amp plug. The water pressure was good and consistent. We've had problems at other RV sites. We used the sewer connection with no problem at the end.
We did not have an umbrella at the picnic table and seriously considered buying a screen tent because we stayed for 4 days and it was HOT. Some sites had more shade. In fact, that's one thing we'd change next time. The pool was wonderful, the showers were clean and we used the laundry with no problems--they take quarters and washing and drying one load cost $5.00.
The staff was very friendly and responsive. Overall, we had a great stay and would stay again.
GuideFirst campground in a week, that had great water pressure! Has free laundry, clean bathrooms, free mini golf, activities , restaurant and bar. Pretty darn awesome
ScoutFriendly staff. Good location. Lots of noice near the big road. Laundry room could use a clearing. Bathrooms en toilets are very clean. Not much room between the spots with lots of tall weeds.
TravelerVery quiet, peaceful . The Staff is very helpful.
GuideNice, quiet in March, shuttle to Kings Dominion every 30 minutes,
