Overview of campgrounds near Bowling Green, Virginia
Bowling Green is the county seat of Caroline County in Virginia's upper coastal plain, roughly midway between Richmond and Fredericksburg along the U.S. 301 corridor. The town sits within a rural stretch of horse farms, pine woods, and river bottomlands, with the Mattaponi and South rivers converging just west of town at the 2,542-acre Mattaponi Wildlife Management Area. That location makes it a practical overnight base for RV travelers moving along the I-95 corridor and for families targeting day trips into the Fredericksburg battlefields, Kings Dominion, and the Washington, D.C. metro.
Campground options near town are dominated by privately owned RV parks rather than federal or state facilities. Hidden Acres Family Campground and R and D Family Campground sit closest to Bowling Green itself, while the Fredericksburg/Washington DC S KOA Holiday, Richmond North / Kings Dominion KOA Holiday, and Americamps RV Resort extend the range north and south along I-95.
Most sites in the area offer full hookups and pull-throughs suited to travel trailers and larger Class A rigs, with cabins available at the KOA properties for mixed-group trips.
Things to do near Bowling Green
Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park lies about 20 miles north and preserves four Civil War battlefields (Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, the Wilderness, and Spotsylvania Court House) with driving tours, ranger programs, and walking trails. Kings Dominion, a full-scale amusement and water park, sits roughly 20 miles south near Doswell and pairs well with a stay at the Richmond North / Kings Dominion KOA Holiday. Lake Anna State Park, about 40 minutes west, offers a guarded swimming beach, a boat ramp, a children's fishing pond, and 13 miles of multi-use trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding.
Closer to town, the Mattaponi Wildlife Management Area protects wetlands and upland forests along about 6.5 miles of the Mattaponi and South rivers, with paddling, fishing, and hunting access. The Bowling Green Historic District is a walkable stop for rest days, centered on the Caroline County Courthouse.

Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable windows for RV camping around Bowling Green. April and May bring daytime highs in the mid-60s to mid-70s Fahrenheit, with lengthening days and greening hardwood cover. September and October cool off and dry out, with mild afternoons in the upper 60s to mid-70s and pleasant overnight temperatures for tent campers and awning nights.
Summer is peak season for private campgrounds and for Kings Dominion traffic. July highs average near 90 degrees Fahrenheit with humidity that keeps overnight lows in the upper 60s to low 70s, and afternoon thunderstorms are common through July and August. Reservations at the KOA and Americamps properties fill weeks ahead for summer holiday weekends.
Winter is the quietest window. Many private parks stay open with limited amenities, snow accumulation is generally light, and Lake Anna State Park's cabin, lodge, and yurt rental season runs from the first Friday in March through the first Sunday in December, so cold-weather visits require confirming which units remain available.

How to book campgrounds near Bowling Green
Private campgrounds in the area, including Hidden Acres Family Campground, R and D Family Campground, and Americamps RV Resort, take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. The Fredericksburg/Washington DC S KOA Holiday and Richmond North / Kings Dominion KOA Holiday book through the KOA reservation system online or through the KOA app, with cabin inventory that sells out early for summer weekends.
For public land nearby, Lake Anna State Park uses the Virginia State Parks reservation system at reservevaparks.com or by phone at 800-933-PARK. Overnight accommodations can be reserved up to 11 months in advance, with same-day campsite reservations accepted until 2 p.m. on the day of arrival. Weekends between Memorial Day and Labor Day and any date tied to a Kings Dominion event should be booked as early as possible.
What to expect on the ground
Terrain around Bowling Green is gently rolling coastal plain with tall loblolly pine and mixed hardwood cover, so most campgrounds offer at least partial shade. Roads into private parks are typically paved or well-graded gravel, and larger rigs can generally reach sites without difficulty. Cell coverage is reliable along the I-95 and U.S. 301 corridors and weaker inside the Mattaponi WMA.
Expect a mix of long-term residents, weekenders, and travelers passing through on I-95. The KOA locations lean toward family amenities such as pools, playgrounds, and cabin rentals, while Hidden Acres and R and D run smaller and quieter. Mosquitoes and ticks are active from late spring through early fall in the river bottoms, and open fires at Virginia state parks are prohibited between February 15 and April 30 except from 4 p.m. to midnight.
