RV camping near East Highland Park, Virginia
East Highland Park is an unincorporated community in Henrico County on the eastern edge of Richmond, Virginia. Because it sits just outside the state capital and along the I-95 and I-64 corridors, RV travelers have easy access to a cluster of private campgrounds and one of the largest state parks in Virginia within a short drive.
Most RV parks in the area lie north or south of Richmond off I-95. Americamps RV Resort in Ashland is the closest full-hookup option, with pull-through and back-in sites suited to big rigs. Farther north in Doswell, Richmond North / Kings Dominion KOA Holiday sits beside the Kings Dominion amusement park.
Families looking for lake access or a quieter setting can consider Picture Lake Campground, Kosmo Village Campground, or R and D Family Campground. Together, these properties give RV travelers a mix of highway-convenient stopovers, family resorts, and rural sites within roughly an hour of East Highland Park.
Things to do near East Highland Park
Richmond anchors the region and offers riverfront trails along the James River, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and the American Civil War Museum. The James River Park System has paved and dirt trails, tubing access, and whitewater rapids that run right through downtown.
Families staying at Richmond North / Kings Dominion KOA Holiday are next door to Kings Dominion and its Soak City water park in Doswell. Pocahontas State Park, roughly 30 minutes south, covers thousands of acres with mountain-bike trails, an aquatic center, and boat rentals on Swift Creek and Beaver Lake.
Short day trips from area campgrounds also reach the historic triangle of Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown, as well as Monticello and central Virginia wine country.

The Richmond area has a humid subtropical climate: hot, muggy summers with frequent afternoon thunderstorms, and cool winters with occasional light snow. RV travel is practical year-round, but comfort and campground amenities vary by season.
Spring and fall are generally the best windows. Daytime highs sit in the mild range, humidity drops, and state parks run full programming. Fall foliage typically peaks from mid-October into early November, and Kings Dominion runs its popular Halloween event, which drives strong weekend bookings at the nearby KOA.
Summer is peak family season. Pools at Americamps RV Resort and Richmond North / Kings Dominion KOA Holiday generally operate from Memorial Day through Labor Day, and Pocahontas State Park sites fill quickly on weekends. Winter is the quietest stretch. Most private parks stay open with reduced amenities, while some state and seasonal campgrounds close bathhouses, cabins, or yurts until spring.
How to book campgrounds near East Highland Park
Private campgrounds in the Richmond area take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. KOA properties, including Richmond North / Kings Dominion KOA Holiday, use the koa.com booking system with cancellation windows that differ for RV and tent sites versus Deluxe Cabins.
Virginia state parks, including Pocahontas State Park, use the state reservation system at reservevaparks.com or 1-800-933-PARK. Sites can be booked up to eleven months in advance, and same-day camping reservations are accepted until 2 p.m.
For summer weekends, holidays, and Kings Dominion event dates, book several months out. Shoulder-season and midweek stays at Americamps RV Resort, Picture Lake Campground, Kosmo Village Campground, and R and D Family Campground are usually easier to secure on shorter notice.
What to expect on site
Private RV parks in the region generally offer full hookups with 30 and 50 amp service. Americamps RV Resort has 176 full-hookup sites plus a handful of cottages, a seasonal pool that runs Memorial Day through Labor Day, a fenced dog park, laundry, and pickleball and basketball courts. Richmond North / Kings Dominion KOA Holiday provides pull-through RV sites, tent sites, and Deluxe Cabins, plus a pool and camp store.
Expect wooded, mostly level sites on gravel or paved pads. Cell coverage on major carriers is reliable near I-95, and grocery and fuel stops are within a short drive of most parks.
At Pocahontas State Park, sites have electric and water but no sewer, with a central dump station, and 50-amp service is available in select loops. Pets are allowed at campsites under standard leash rules.

virginia.org/places-to-stay/camping-and-rv-parks/What license do I need to rent an RV in East Highland Park, Virginia?
A regular Virginia driver's license (or any valid state or international equivalent) is all you need to rent an RV in East Highland Park. No Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or special RV endorsement is required for the motorhomes and travel trailers on RVezy, even the larger Class A rigs. Approved drivers are generally required to be at least 25 years old, and RVezy verifies your ID through the platform during checkout. Visiting from abroad?

Peace of mind comes standard with every RV rental in East Highland Park. Every RVezy booking includes a renter protection plan that covers physical damage to the vehicle, plus 24/7 roadside assistance built in. You choose your coverage level during checkout (not the host), so you can dial protection up or down based on how far you are roaming, whether that is a quick run to Pocahontas State Park or a longer Virginia RV trip down to the Outer Banks.

help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my East Highland Park RV rental?
Booking is low-risk. RVezy (not the host) sets the cancellation policy for every reservation, so the terms are consistent and clearly shown before you confirm. There is a money-back grace period right after booking, which is perfect if hurricane remnants are tracking up the James River or your work calendar suddenly shifts. If the host has to cancel on you, you receive a full refund or RVezy credits with no penalty. Review your booking details for the exact terms tied to your trip dates, then book your East Highland Park RV rental with confidence.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in East Highland Park?

Americamps RV Resort in nearby Ashland even has a fenced canine park on-site. Pack a collapsible bowl, current vaccination records, and your pup's favorite toy and you're road-ready.
henrico.gov/recreation/Can the RV be delivered to my campsite or driveway in East Highland Park?
Yes, RV delivery in East Highland Park is one of the most popular options on the platform, especially for first-timers. Many Henrico County hosts will drive the rig straight to Pocahontas State Park, Americamps RV Resort in Ashland, Richmond North/Kings Dominion KOA in Doswell, or even your home driveway, then level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system. Use the Delivery filter when searching, and message the host to confirm the mileage to your destination since most charge a flat fee plus a per-mile rate. Pro tip: delivery makes a family RV trip from East Highland Park practically turn-key.
dcr.virginia.gov/state-parks/pocahontasHow far can I drive on a typical RV rental, and what are popular destinations from East Highland Park?
You've got room to roam. Most East Highland Park hosts include a daily mileage allowance (commonly 100 to 150 miles per night) with reasonable per-mile overage fees, and some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage for longer loops. Filter for it on the search page. From East Highland Park you're 25 miles to Pocahontas State Park, about 55 miles east to Williamsburg, 110 miles southeast to Virginia Beach and First Landing State Park, 95 miles north to Fredericksburg's battlefields, and roughly 130 miles west to Shenandoah National Park's Skyline Drive. Each is an easy one-tank, one-day drive for a classic Virginia RV trip.
virginia.org/things-to-do/outdoors/Where are the best campgrounds near East Highland Park, VA?
You're spoiled for choice. The best campgrounds near East Highland Park include Pocahontas State Park in Chesterfield (about 25 miles south, 8,000 acres, three lakes, water/electric sites, dog-friendly), Americamps RV Resort in Ashland (15 miles north, 176 full-hookup big-rig friendly sites with pool and pickleball), Richmond North/Kings Dominion KOA in Doswell (25 miles north, walking distance to the amusement park), and Powhatan State Park (about 35 miles west, peaceful sites along the James River). For RV camping East Highland Park travelers love, book Pocahontas through the Virginia State Parks reservation system as soon as your trip is confirmed; weekends sell out months ahead.
dcr.virginia.gov/state-parks/pocahontasWhen is the best time of year for an East Highland Park RV trip?
Spring and fall are pure magic in central Virginia. Mid-April through early June brings dogwoods, redbuds, and daytime highs in the 65 to 80 F range, while mid-September through early November rewards you with crisp 55 to 75 F days and stunning foliage along the James River and at Pocahontas State Park. Summers are warm and humid (often 85 to 95 F with afternoon thunderstorms), so prioritize shaded, hookup sites and run the air conditioning at night. Winter rentals run roughly 30 to 50 F daytime; many hosts still rent year-round, and quiet off-season campgrounds mean lower prices and easy reservations.
weather.gov/akq/I've never driven an RV before. How do I make sure my first trip goes smoothly?
You're going to do great, first-time renting an RV is easier than most people expect. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on orientation at pickup (or at delivery), walking through driving tips, slide-outs, propane, the generator, the water system, and dumping. You can also message the host before booking with any questions. Around East Highland Park, the terrain is gentle (elevations 100 to 250 feet) and I-295 makes a forgiving practice loop. Start with a shorter trip to Pocahontas State Park before tackling a longer haul, and avoid Richmond's I-95/I-64 interchange during the 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. rush.
virginiadot.org/travel/What happens if I get a flat tire or break down during my trip?
You are covered. Every RV rental in East Highland Park comes with 24/7 roadside assistance included with your RVezy protection plan, no extra subscription needed. Whether it is a flat on I-64 heading toward Williamsburg, a dead battery at a Virginia Capital Trail trailhead, or a tow needed near Pocahontas State Park, just call the number in your booking confirmation and help is dispatched. Your host is also a quick message away for any RV-specific questions (slide stuck, awning quirk, etc.). Save both numbers in your phone before you pull out of the driveway and you can truly relax into the trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my RV rental across state lines or into Canada or Mexico?
Most East Highland Park RV rentals can travel freely throughout Virginia and into neighboring states like North Carolina, Maryland, West Virginia, Washington DC, and Pennsylvania, perfect for an RV road trip from East Highland Park up the Blue Ridge Parkway or down to the Outer Banks. Canada may be allowed with advance host approval and confirmation of insurance coverage, so message the host from the listing page before booking if that is on your itinerary. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because protection coverage does not apply south of the border. Stick to the US and Canada and you are free to roam.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat should I budget for fuel on an East Highland Park RV trip?
Fuel is more manageable than you'd think. Class C motorhomes around East Highland Park average 8 to 12 miles per gallon, larger Class A rigs about 7 to 10 MPG, and campervan rentals near East Highland Park typically deliver 15 to 20 MPG. Virginia gas prices have been hovering around $3.05 to $3.40 per gallon (diesel a bit higher), among the more affordable on the East Coast. A round-trip from East Highland Park to Virginia Beach (about 220 miles) runs roughly $55 to $85 in fuel for a Class C. Pro tip: fill up at the Wawa or Sheetz on Mechanicsville Turnpike before heading out; both are RV-easy.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near East Highland Park?
Book early and you'll have your pick of the best sites. Virginia State Parks (including Pocahontas, Powhatan, and Lake Anna) open reservations up to 11 months in advance through the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation system, and prime weekends from May through October fill within days, especially around Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and fall foliage. Private parks like Americamps RV Resort and Richmond North KOA take reservations directly on their websites. Pro tip: set a calendar reminder for the 1st of the month exactly 11 months out from a NASCAR weekend at Richmond Raceway, those weekends near East Highland Park book out fastest.
dcr.virginia.gov/state-parks/reservationsWhat are driving conditions like around East Highland Park?
Driving an RV around East Highland Park is refreshingly straightforward. The area sits at gentle elevations of 100 to 250 feet, the roads are wide, and major routes like I-64, I-95, and I-295 are straight shots out of Henrico County. Avoid downtown Richmond's narrow streets (Broad Street, Cary Street, and the Fan district) where 11 to 12 foot clearances under railroad bridges can surprise tall rigs. Skip rush hour (7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m.) on I-95 through the city. Summer afternoons can bring fast pop-up thunderstorms, so pull over and let them pass. Otherwise, smooth sailing.
virginiadot.org/travel/511.aspWhat amenities will I find at campgrounds near East Highland Park?
You'll be well taken care of. Most developed campgrounds near East Highland Park (Pocahontas State Park, Americamps RV Resort, Richmond North KOA) offer water and 30/50 amp electric hookups, hot showers, flush toilets, dump stations, and free Wi-Fi at the bigger private parks. Pocahontas has a swim beach, aquatic center with water slides, and 64+ miles of trails. Need to dump or fill fresh water on the road? The Flying J on Carter Park Drive in Ashland and several Henrico County campgrounds have public dump stations. Cell service is reliable throughout the Richmond metro area, so streaming and remote work are no problem.
dcr.virginia.gov/state-parks/campingWhat's actually inside the RVs I'll find in East Highland Park?
You'll feel right at home. Travel trailers and Class C motorhome rentals in East Highland Park typically sleep 4 to 8 with a queen bed, bunks or convertible dinette, a full kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave, sink), a wet or dry bathroom with hot shower, roof AC, furnace, and a TV. Larger Class A rentals add washer/dryer combos, residential fridges, and king beds; campervans are nimbler with a compact galley and pop-top sleeping. Many hosts include a generator, Wi-Fi hotspot, outdoor grill, and camp chairs. Seatbelts are provided for every traveler; just confirm the listed sleep/seat count matches your group before you book.
nhtsa.gov/equipment/recreational-vehiclesWhat add-ons and pickup options should I expect when I rent an RV in East Highland Park?
Hosts make customizing easy. Popular add-ons for a motorhome rental East Highland Park trip include linen and towel packages ($30 to $75), kitchen kits ($25 to $50), camp chairs and outdoor tables ($15 to $30), portable generators ($25 to $50/night), bike racks, and propane refills. Pickup is usually at the host's Henrico County address with a 30 to 60 minute orientation, while delivery (paid by the mile) drops the rig at your campground fully set up. Mileage policies vary by listing, so check the daily allowance before booking. Pro tip: ask about a late checkout add-on if you're returning on a Sunday after a Pocahontas weekend.
dmv.virginia.gov/vehicles/How does payment and the security deposit work for an RV rental in East Highland Park?
Payment is simple and secure. You pay through the RVezy platform with a credit or debit card when you book your RV rental in Virginia, never in cash directly to the host. A refundable security deposit is held separately from your booking payment (typically $500 to $1,500 depending on the rig and your protection plan selection) and released after the host confirms a clean, damage-free return, usually within a few days of trip end. To avoid any deposit hiccups, take a quick walkthrough video at pickup and another at return, fill the fuel and propane as required by your contract, and dump the tanks if the listing requests it.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksWhere can I legally park an RV in East Highland Park overnight?
Here's the short version: stick to campgrounds and private property with permission. Henrico County and the City of Richmond restrict overnight RV parking on public streets, so plan on a real campground or RV park. Best bets within 30 minutes of East Highland Park include Pocahontas State Park in Chesterfield, Americamps RV Resort in Ashland, and Richmond North/Kings Dominion KOA in Doswell. For a quick overnight en route, the Flying J in Ashland and several Cracker Barrel locations along I-95 allow RV overnighting with a quick courtesy call. If you're staying with friends, parking in their driveway for the duration of your trip is generally fine in Henrico.
