10 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Prince William Forest RV Campground offers paved pull-through sites accommodating vehicles up to 32 feet long and 12 feet high. Most sites include electric hookups with 30-amp service, while select back sites provide full sewer connections. Bull Run Regional Park provides year-round camping with electric hookups, supporting larger rigs with both 30-amp and 50-amp options. Oak Ridge Campground in Prince William Forest Park has more limited RV capabilities with no hookups, though drinking water is available near the sites. Fort Belvoir Travel Camp features full hookup sites with 50-amp electrical service for military travelers. "Took our jack all the way down and we still weren't entirely level. Overall, nice place. I would return knowing now what I do."
Advance reservations are recommended, particularly during peak fall months when sites fill quickly. Most RV parks in the region maintain clean shower facilities and central bathhouses, though amenities vary significantly between locations. Dump stations are available at Prince William Forest RV Campground, Bull Run Regional Park, and several other facilities within 30 miles of Nokesville. Cell service is generally strong throughout the area, with one reviewer confirming "Verizon and Google Fi have great service." Pet-friendly policies exist at nearly all RV campgrounds, though some enforce breed or size restrictions. Many sites are closely spaced, with several reviews noting the compact nature of pull-through sites that may require unhooking towed vehicles for overnight stays.

"We had a great back in site, that although a little unlevel, was really private and in the back corner. It was adjacent to a farm and like others have mentioned, it was a bit smelly at times."

TravelerLong drive thru spots, lots of space between campsites. Really inexpensive laundry ($1 to wash $1 to dry) $5 showers for 10 minutes. Nice bathrooms. Dry camping at its finest. Close drive to Grand caverns and Luray caverns.
TravelerClose to washington as we could get. Could also park our skoolie bus which was nice and had plenty of close by shower with bathrooms. Keep in mind only one shower per restroom house. We stayed at a pretty slow season so it wasn’t bad. Would recommend if visiting DC! They also have a dump station and water fill up.
TravelerGreat spot! Water taps appear to be turned off for winter. Flushing toilets. Waterfall hike nearby!
ScoutStayed here for 2 weekday nights in mid-October, late season. Nice & quiet. Warm showers, clean bathrooms, nice staff.
There was some vehicle activity with vehicles as they were still running river trips.
Very pleasant.
GuideQuite the dump and almost no one around to talk to. There is a bathroom with running water, flushing toilets, and a shower. But it is cramped and not attractive. Most of the sites are right underneath the freeway, and very noisy. Primitive sites away from the road noise are nothing more than a wide area of the dirt road.
ScoutWe stayed in site #133 with our 34'10" travel trailer/toy hauler. Overall, we really like the site. It's spacious, fairly level, heavily wooded, and feels surprisingly private. There's plenty of room around the camper, and although there are other campsites and cabins nearby, the trees provide a lot of separation. We had a nice large area for our chairs, fire pit, picnic table, and dogs. The biggest thing to know about #133 is the approach. We were instructed to pass the site, go around the loop, and then make a left turn into it. With our nearly 35' trailer, that would have required an extremely tight, almost 90-degree turn between the trees, and we did not feel we could safely make it. There is actually visible damage on one of the trees at the entrance, so it appears others may have had difficulty with the turn as well. Instead, we approached from the opposite direction and positioned the camper with our doors facing the main campsite area. That put the water and electric hookups on the opposite side, but our hoses and cord were long enough to run underneath the camper and reach without a problem. Once we figured that out, the site worked very well for us. I initially thought we probably wouldn't choose #133 again because of the awkward setup, but after spending the weekend here, I would. Now that we know how to approach and position our trailer, it really is a nice site. If you're bringing a longer travel trailer, just be prepared to do a little maneuvering and make sure your water hose and electrical cord have enough length if you decide to orient your camper the way we did.
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.
GuideSpent two nights while we saw the Avett Brothers play at Wolf Trap. Nice flat site with power. Campground was quiet and clean. The only negative is communication and signage. It took us a couple wrong turns to find our site and when we came back, after the concert around 11, the entrance gate was closed and we had to sneak in through the exit gate. Asked the next day and they said that is what campers do to access the park after 11pm.
ScoutFirst camping trip in VA and honestly the only time we’ll come here. Noisy, plots are on the main road people speed down, loud music at all times. Plus the bathroom was great, taken care of but this isn’t camping. Great if you need people around you.
Prince William Forest encompasses 15,000 acres of protected woodland with campsites scattered throughout its deciduous forest terrain. The region's RV camping options range from basic tent-friendly sites with no hookups to resort-style facilities with full amenities. Seasonal considerations include hot, humid summers with temperatures regularly reaching 90°F and relatively mild winters, though occasional snowfall can affect access to certain campgrounds from December through February.
Fishing opportunities: Burke Lake Park offers a well-stocked 218-acre lake with multiple fishing spots. "Swimming, biking, and hiking. Excellent campground and park for families," notes Amy B. about the recreational options at Burke Lake Park Campground.
Historical exploration: Visit Civil War battlefields near the Nokesville area. "Civil War National Parks nearby. DC just up the road. National Marine Corp Museum just around corner," shares Kenneth H. about excursions from Prince William Forest RV Campground.
Family activities: Bull Run Regional Park features multiple playgrounds and seasonal events. "The campground had a climbing wall on one afternoon. There are miles of trails and my gkids enjoyed the nature scavenger hunt. You even get a prize when you finish," reports Bridget H. about the family-friendly atmosphere.
Privacy and layout: Many campers appreciate the site arrangements at Bull Run. "The sites are all pull-through off the roads through the campground. So your camper faces the woods and you feel like you're all alone," explains Roberta K. about Bull Run Regional Park.
Shower facilities: Multiple reviewers specifically mention the bathroom facilities. "They're worth staying again alone. Locking doors, individual stalls. Hot dog. Best camping showers I've ever had," enthuses Yvonne B. about the facilities at Bull Run Regional Park.
Waterfront access: Several campgrounds offer direct river or lake access. "We stayed right on the river (all spots are along the water). We love walking and having a nice walk right from our campsite is a big bonus," writes Mikala S. about her experience at Harpers Ferry Campground.
Train noise: At some campgrounds, nearby train tracks can affect your sleep. "The trains that come through here almost hourly range from quick commuter MARC or Amtrak trains to long freight trains. The proximity to the tracks means that if the sound doesn't wake you up, the rumbling ground will," warns Sherri C. about Harpers Ferry Campground.
Military presence: Several RV sites near Nokesville, Virginia are on or near military bases. "Must have proper government ID to access post... sometimes you hear military field training going on (live ranges, helicopters, and ospreys - but I don't mind)," explains James P. about Military Park Fort AP Hill Champs Camp RV Park.
Suburban location: Some campgrounds are situated in developed areas. "This park is located in the middle of suburbia in Burke Va," notes Tom C. about Burke Lake Park, adding that while the camping area is "located in the very back corner away from all the activity spots," campers should expect some urban noise and traffic.
Kid-friendly activities: Look for campgrounds with dedicated children's programs. "This park has too many amenities to list. They had a campfire complete with s'mores followed by hayrides. Great family friendly campground," recommends Bridget H. about Fort Valley Ranch.
Swimming options: Several campgrounds have designated swimming areas. "The kids were able to fish for hours at the two fishing ponds, which both were stocked with bass and bluegill. Within a 10-minute drive, there are opportunities for hiking and river activities. We found a river access point perfect for swimming and wading," shares Jason G.
Safety considerations: Campgrounds with security can provide peace of mind for families. "Clean and safe," notes Anne C. about Oak Ridge Campground, though other reviewers mention safety concerns at some locations, with one camper noting: "When a bunch of high schoolers decide to party till 3AM, there's no one to call."
Site leveling: Many RV sites near Nokesville require additional blocks or leveling equipment. "Our site had a slight slope, but was easily overcome using additional blocks on the low side to get the trailer level," explains Drew M. about his stay at Bull Run Regional Park.
Hookup quality: Some parks offer better utility connections than others. "I had a 30amp hookup with no issues. They also have up to 50amp full hookups. All of them looked well maintained," reports Megan K. about Prince William Forest RV Campground.
Connectivity: Cell service varies significantly by location and provider. "I work full-time remote and the Verizon service was perfect with our hotspot," notes Ariel F. about her stay at Thousand Trails Harbor View, which is important for RVers needing to stay connected.
