Several RV campgrounds serve the Montross area of Virginia's Northern Neck region. Thousand Trails Harbor View in Colonial Beach provides full hookup RV sites with 50-amp service, operating from April through mid-October. The campground features shaded sites with water, electric, and sewer connections, though spacing between sites is notably tight. "The sites are big enough, maybe a little right in some places. Most are nestled under the trees, so good shade during summer," noted one visitor. Bethpage Camp-Resort in Urbanna offers extensive RV accommodations with 50-amp hookups and dual sewer connection points at each site, remaining open from April through mid-November. Sites at both locations accommodate big rigs, with Bethpage featuring more spacious site dimensions and paved interior roads.
Access to these Northern Neck RV parks may require careful navigation of rural roads. While Harbor View provides reliable Verizon cellular coverage suitable for remote work, WiFi availability varies significantly between locations. Most campgrounds in the region enforce seasonal closures during winter months, though American Heritage RV Park in Williamsburg and Thousand Trails Chesapeake Bay in Reedville maintain year-round operations. Dump stations are available at all facilities, with sanitary disposal included for guests. Many reviews highlight the heavy tree coverage throughout the area, which provides welcome shade during summer but can create challenges for satellite reception and may require careful maneuvering when parking larger motorhomes.

TravelerAmerican Heritage RV Park
Friendly, Convenient to Colonial Sites
We 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.

Smallwood State Park Campground - TEMPORARILY CLOSED THROUGH JULY 2023
Great Escape! Air conditioned cabins!
What a gem! We found this place as an alternative to staying in DC during 4th of July festivities. Nice spacious sites, cabins were super clean and smelled great! Did I mention they were air conditioned during the hotest week of the summer!
Bathrooms and showers were spotless.
Many things to see and do there. Historic property, big lake (no swimming), boating, fishing, hiking. There is an Art Center with juried displays for sale.

Near interessant points of interest
Friendly 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.
Jeremy G.TravelerJoint Base Andrews Military FamCamp
Could be a great campground but......
There are some good things about this Famcamp. It's like a diamond in the rough. If the military would spend some time and money on it, it could be a great campground. One of the greatest points about this campground is its location. You are so close to downtown D.C.! Every RV site (as far as I saw) was a level concrete pad. All sites, except for tent sites, have full electricity. Most sites have sewer and water. Sites 12-18 should be mainly used for the smaller travel trailers. I had an interesting time getting my 35' 5th wheel into the site. Even though I got my RV into the site, I don't have much room for my truck. My site has a picnic table, fire pit, and a grill. Everything is rusted beyond repair. My grill was filled with cigarette butts and my fire pit had trash in it. There is some shade. My site has two trees at the front of the pad on both sides of the RV. My bedroom stays nice and cold and I have a good view for my Starlink in the rear. The sites are close to each other, but there is some space. The good thing is that we are surrounded by the golf course. You don't get much noise from the base, because of the location, and because the FamCamp is surrounded by trees. You can hear the busy road outside the fence but I don't hear it much inside the RV. Every once in a while you'll hear an aircraft... but this is an air base, it's expected. We were told the community laundry was not working and to use the base laundry mat. Finally, one of the best parts about the campground, is the lady at outdoor rec that is in charge of the Famcamp. She is very nice and helpful. She will try to assist you with anything you need from directions to useful tips.
Lauren B.TravelerThousand Trails Chesapeake Bay
Quaint
One of the nicer thousand trails. The D loop is wide and level and close to everything if you dont want to bring a gold cart or bike. Has a weekend resturant that serves breakfast lunch and dinner. A small shop, pool, park and access to the river. Full hookup back in. A loop is tight and E loop is for long term looks like a nice place to do an annual site. Its 20-30 mins away from everything so think of that when packing. No acolohl sold on site either.

Kindra W.GuidePoint Lookout State Park
5 stars! Beautiful, clean, magical
Magical stay at Point Lookout — New Tulip Loop (Full Hook‑Up) and I’m already planning a return. The whole park feels peaceful and safe, the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, and our site is clean and well‑maintained. The loop’s energy felt magical — quiet, restorative, and tucked into the trees so it felt private but not isolated. Full hookups were convenient and reliable; the site layout is roomy and pet‑friendly, with an easy walk to a beautiful dog beach so our pup had a blast. We walked to stunning beaches and spent afternoons watching water and sky at the tip of the peninsula — spectacular views where the Potomac meets the Chesapeake. The park’s Civil War history and lighthouse added fascinating, walkable sites to explore between beach time, giving the stay both recreation and depth. Clean facilities, helpful staff at the park office, and well-marked trails made everything low‑stress and enjoyable. If you want a peaceful, historic, pet‑friendly Class A spot with full hookups and gorgeous nearby beaches, Tulip Loop at Point Lookout is five stars from me.

What to do
Fossil hunting at beaches: Visit Westmoreland State Park near Thousand Trails Harbor View for fossil exploration. "Great trails and fossil beach was fun... We will absolutely be back!" reported one camper who enjoyed the park's proximity to the campground.
Crabbing from dedicated piers: Crabbing opportunities abound at waterfront campgrounds in the region. "We had never been crabbing and this beautiful rv park has its own crabbing pier. There is boating, hiking, watching wild life and so many pretty birds," wrote one visitor about their experience at nearby waterfront camping areas.
Historic site exploration: George Washington's Birthplace National Monument sits near Colonial Beach. As one camper noted, "Right down the road from George Washington's birthplace," making it convenient for history enthusiasts staying at nearby RV parks.
What campers like
Spacious waterfront sites: Many campers appreciate Bethpage Camp-Resort for its generous site layouts. "Sites are spacious! Golf cart rentals, pool is incredible for all ages. Sewer is in 2 locations for each site," noted one reviewer, highlighting practical features for RV setups.
Family-oriented amenities: Water activities remain popular during summer months. "We love this place! It has everything you need and more!! Golf carts, mini golf, ice cream shop, friendly staff, restaurant, water park- amazing," wrote a family who stayed at one of the region's larger resorts.
Shaded campsites: Tree coverage provides welcome relief during hot months. "All the sites are very shady, which certainly comes in handy in the Virginia heat," explained one camper about the natural shade features at a Colonial Beach camping area.
What you should know
Seasonal operating schedules: Most RV parks in the Northern Neck operate April through November. "We stayed here for two nights at the end of April. All the sites are very shady," noted a camper visiting during the early season when crowds are lighter.
Site selection considerations: At Grey's Point Camp, placement affects experience. "We stayed in Spadefish 3 which was right next to the pool and playground," mentioned a visitor, showing how location within the campground impacts convenience and noise levels.
Cellular connectivity: Service varies by provider. "I work full-time remote and the Verizon service was perfect with our hotspot," shared one digital nomad who stayed in the area, while other campgrounds report inconsistent cellular coverage.
Reservations essential: Popular resorts fill quickly, especially during summer. "Would give it 4 stars for the hookups and friendly staff but we were welcomed to our site with pile of dog poop that had been left there," reported one camper about arrival conditions, highlighting why early reservations can secure better site options.
Tips for camping with families
Water park access: Bethpage Camp-Resort offers extensive water recreation. "The lake and pools are fantastic. We love having both options for spending some time in the water. The playgrounds are large and fun for the younger kids," wrote one family camper about the multi-age facilities.
Activity planning: Schedule around organized events at campgrounds. "Sweet Justice played this year on the Saturday we were there....phenomenal band....we had an awesome time. Can't wait to go back!" shared an enthusiastic camper about entertainment options.
Golf cart transportation: Many Northern Neck campgrounds are sprawling. "Bring your golf cart or rent one there," advised one visitor at Americamps RV Resort, noting how larger properties require transportation for comfortable navigation.
Tips from RVers
Leveling equipment: Bring extra leveling blocks for uneven sites. "Gravel site pad could definitely use some maintenance and fresh material added. Had to put down boards to park our travel trailer because about a third of the pad had just turned into mud," reported an RVer at one Colonial Beach location.
Full hookup availability: Most parks offer full connections with varying amp service. At American Heritage RV Park, "All the sites were level, gravel, and had good shade. Hook ups also included cable with about 70 channels," according to a satisfied RVer describing site amenities.
Seasonal considerations: Spring brings heavy pollen. "If you have allergies, avoid spring. EVERYTHING outside was covered in a light haze of pollen. I worked outside several days and had to wipe my computer off a couple times a day," warned one RV camper about seasonal challenges in the region.
Site navigation: Tight access roads affect larger rigs. "Roads are tight. Golf carts were difficult to reserve," cautioned a visitor about maneuvering challenges at some of the more densely wooded RV campgrounds near Montross, Virginia.
