Campgrounds and RV parks near Falmouth, VA

Falmouth sits on the north bank of the Rappahannock River, directly across from Fredericksburg, Virginia, and roughly midway between Washington, D.C. and Richmond on the I-95 corridor. The area is a practical base for RV travelers because it combines interstate access with a cluster of Civil War battlefields, walkable historic districts, and river-based recreation within a short drive. RV options range from full-hookup commercial parks to primitive tent sites and one national park campground. Aquia Pines Campground sits on wooded acreage near Stafford and offers full and partial hookup sites, many of them big-rig friendly with pull-through access. The Fredericksburg/Washington DC S KOA Holiday provides RV sites for a wide range of rig sizes along with a seasonal swimming pool and family amenities.
