Campgrounds near Highland Springs, Virginia
Highland Springs sits just east of Richmond in Henrico County, putting RV travelers within a short drive of the James River, historic downtown Richmond, and a cluster of family-run and franchise campgrounds along the I-95 and I-64 corridors. The area falls inside Virginia's Piedmont, where a humid subtropical climate keeps campgrounds active most of the year and Pocahontas State Park stays open year-round.
Americamps RV Resort and Richmond North / Kings Dominion KOA Holiday sit north of the city near Ashland and Doswell, both convenient for families visiting Kings Dominion amusement park. Kosmo Village Campground offers a smaller, quieter option closer to the metro. East and southeast, Ed Allen's Campgrounds and Rockahock Campgrounds and Resort RV Park give access to lakes, the Chickahominy River, and the Williamsburg corridor.
Pocahontas State Park, roughly 20 miles south in Chesterfield County, adds a large public option with electric and water hookup sites and a dump station. Together these campgrounds cover the range from full-hookup private resorts to state park sites, so trip planners can match hookups, budget, and setting to the itinerary.
Things to do near Highland Springs
Richmond anchors most trip itineraries. Families use campgrounds around Highland Springs as a base for the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the Science Museum of Virginia, the Children's Museum of Richmond, and the James River Park System, which stretches through downtown with hiking, swimming holes, and whitewater on the James.
North of the city, Kings Dominion is the region's largest theme park and pairs naturally with a stay at Richmond North / Kings Dominion KOA Holiday or Americamps RV Resort. East toward Williamsburg, Rockahock Campgrounds and Resort RV Park and Ed Allen's Campgrounds put Colonial Williamsburg, Busch Gardens, and Jamestown within day-trip range.
Civil War history is heavy across the region, with Richmond National Battlefield Park sites scattered on the east side and Petersburg National Battlefield to the south. Pocahontas State Park adds more than 90 miles of trails, a seasonal aquatic center, and lake fishing.

Spring and fall are the strongest windows for RV travel around Highland Springs. March through May brings mild days, variable weather, and steady rainfall from passing fronts. Wildflowers, fall foliage in late October, and lower humidity in autumn make the shoulder seasons popular with families, so full-hookup sites at private resorts fill in advance on weekends.
Summer runs hot and humid, and it is also the wettest stretch. Daytime highs regularly reach the upper 80s and low 90s Fahrenheit, and August is the wettest month, driven by afternoon thunderstorms. Sites with pools, shaded pads, or lake access are in highest demand, and Atlantic tropical systems occasionally track inland from the coast between June and November, bringing heavy rain.
Winter is mild by northern standards but genuinely cold at night, with January the coldest month. Pocahontas State Park stays open year-round, and most private campgrounds in the metro operate through the season, though some amenities like pools and camp stores go seasonal. Snowfall is light in most years, concentrated in January.
How to book campgrounds near Highland Springs
Virginia State Parks, including Pocahontas State Park south of the city, use a single reservation system at reservevaparks.com or by phone at 1-800-933-PARK. Sites can be booked up to 11 months in advance, and campsites can be reserved up until 2 p.m. on the day of arrival if space remains. There is a two-night minimum stay for reserved sites.
Private campgrounds like Americamps RV Resort, Kosmo Village Campground, Richmond North / Kings Dominion KOA Holiday, Ed Allen's Campgrounds, and Rockahock Campgrounds and Resort RV Park take reservations directly through their own websites or third-party booking platforms. For summer weekends, holidays, and any dates overlapping Kings Dominion peak operations, book eight or more weeks out to secure full-hookup or pull-through sites.
What to expect on the ground
Terrain around Highland Springs is gently rolling Piedmont, with pine and hardwood forest, tannin-stained creeks, and easy road access. Most private campgrounds offer full hookups with 30 and 50-amp service, pull-through sites, laundry, and bathhouses. Pocahontas State Park sites include electric and water but no sewer, with a dump station on site.
Cell coverage is generally strong across the Richmond metro and along I-95 and I-64, and grocery, propane, and RV service options are close at hand in Henrico and Chesterfield counties. Insect pressure climbs in mid to late summer, particularly mosquitoes and ticks near lakes and wooded trails, so plan for repellent and long sleeves after dusk.
Road access to the closer campgrounds is straightforward for larger rigs, but some rural properties east and south of the city involve narrow two-lane approaches. Confirm site length and low-clearance routes with the campground before arrival.
