Camping near Gordonsville, Virginia
Gordonsville sits in Orange County in Virginia's central Piedmont, roughly midway between Charlottesville and Fredericksburg and within easy reach of the Blue Ridge foothills. The surrounding countryside mixes horse farms, vineyards, and forested reservoirs, giving RV travelers a compact base for exploring Monticello, Montpelier, and the Monticello Wine Trail without long daily drives.
Campground options range from full-amenity resorts to lakefront state park sites. Shenandoah Crossing Resort and Country Club offers 41 sites with full hookups, 30/50 amp service, and space for rigs up to 70 feet. Small Country Campground, Christopher Run Campground, and Cedar Mountain Campground round out the private options within a short drive.
Lake Anna State Park Campground offers 46 sites for tents, RVs, and trailers and serves as the anchor public campground east of town for RV travelers who want lake access.
Things to do around Gordonsville
Water is the main draw east of town. The park has a beach on one of Virginia's most popular lakes, a fishing pond accessible to children and the disabled, a bathhouse-concessions complex and a boat launch. With more than 15 miles of trails, the park offers many hiking, biking and horseback riding options.
West of Gordonsville, the historic circuit includes Montpelier, Monticello, and the University of Virginia grounds, plus dozens of wineries, cideries, and breweries. Shenandoah Crossing caters to families and outdoor enthusiasts with activities including horseback riding, boating, fishing, and a recreation area with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, hot tubs, and playgrounds, which helps on rainy afternoons or when younger kids need a break from touring.

Spring and fall are the practical sweet spots for RV camping around Gordonsville. Wildflowers, dogwoods, and moderate temperatures make April and May reliable, and October brings foliage across the Piedmont with cooler nights that suit campfires.
Summer runs hot and humid with afternoon thunderstorms. Weekends fill early at both private resorts and the state park, so booking well ahead is essential for June through August stays. Virginia offers an 11-month booking window, and popular summer weekends at Lake Anna can be claimed the day the window opens.
Cabin and lodge availability at the state park is seasonal. Full-service campgrounds with bathhouses are open from the first Friday in March through the first Monday in December, with the exception of Douthat, Hungry Mother, Pocahontas and Shenandoah River state parks which have full-service campgrounds open year-round. RV sites at Lake Anna operate year-round, though services thin out from December through February. Private parks vary: Christopher Run is pet-friendly and open from April to October.
How to book
Reservation systems split by ownership. For the public option, reservations can be made online at reservevaparks.com or by calling 800-933-PARK (7275), and the same system handles all Virginia State Parks. Reservations are accepted 11 months in advance and up to 2 p.m. on the day of arrival. Book as early as possible for summer weekends and any holiday, and consider cancellation-alert tools to catch last-minute openings.
Private resorts use their own portals. Shenandoah Crossing, Small Country Campground, Christopher Run Campground, and Cedar Mountain Campground each accept direct reservations, and several also appear on third-party marketplaces. RV site reservations at Shenandoah Crossing may be scheduled using Points or Bonus Time for owners who wish to travel in their personal RV, and these sites must be reserved by contacting Vacation Services.
What to expect on site
Sites vary widely between the state park and private resorts. Lake Anna State Park operates year-round with sites offering electric and water hookups, and sites include picnic tables, fire rings, and lantern holders, with hot showers at the bathhouse. Check-in time is 4 p.m. and check-out is 1 p.m. for campsites.
Expect a more resort-style experience at Shenandoah Crossing. RV campsite hookups include water, sewer, electric, and cable, with 50-amp service on Deluxe and Elite sites and 100-amp on Presidential sites. All sites include a concrete pad, RV pedestal hookup, and fire ring. Smaller private parks in the area lean more rustic, with a mix of gravel pads, partial or full hookups, and lake or creek frontage.
