With summer well underway, now is the perfect time to plan an RV getaway if you haven’t already. Depending on your location and preferences, Virginia might be just the place for it.
As far as states go, Virginia has it all. It has a long and storied history, and its natural beauty ranges from the Appalachian Mountains to the Atlantic coast. Add in some of the best of Southern cuisine, and you’ll see why it’s such a popular destination for RV travelers.
Virginia is also a big state. You have a lot of options when it comes to where to stay with your RV. To help you get started, we’ve scoured the state and created this list of ten of our favorites, as well as the amenities of each.
