Campgrounds near Jarratt, Virginia
Jarratt sits along Interstate 95 in Greensville and Sussex counties in southern Virginia, roughly midway between Richmond and the North Carolina line. The town is a common overnight stop for RV travelers running the I-95 corridor, and most nearby campgrounds are built around that traffic pattern with pull-through sites and full hookups.
The closest options cluster around Emporia, about ten miles south of Jarratt. Emporia Campground / I-95 and the Emporia/I-95 KOA both cater to overnight interstate travelers and longer stays, with big-rig sites, cabins, and standard amenities. Camptown Campground is a smaller motorhome-focused park in the same area.
North of Jarratt, closer to Petersburg, South Forty Camp Resort sits less than a mile off I-95 at Exit 41, while Picture Lake Campground is on Boydton Plank Road next to Virginia Motorsports Park. Both give access to Petersburg National Battlefield, Pamplin Historical Park, and Fort Gregg-Adams, and include lakes, pools, and long-term sites alongside transient RV spaces.
Things to do near Jarratt
History is the main draw. Day trips reach Petersburg National Battlefield, Pamplin Historical Park and the National Museum of the Civil War Soldier, and the Village View Mansion House in Emporia. Richmond's museums and the state capitol are roughly an hour north on I-95.
Outdoor options include fishing and paddling on the Meherrin and Nottoway rivers, plus the on-site lakes at Picture Lake Campground and South Forty Camp Resort. Lake Gaston, straddling the Virginia and North Carolina border, is within an easy drive for boating and swimming.
Families often plan around the annual Virginia Peanut Festival in Emporia, held each September at Veterans Memorial Park with a parade, carnival rides, live music, and food.

Southern Virginia has a humid subtropical climate. Summers are hot and sticky, with July highs near 90 degrees Fahrenheit and dew points that make afternoons feel heavier than the numbers suggest. Afternoon thunderstorms are common from June through August. Sites with shade and 50-amp service for running air conditioning are worth prioritizing.
Spring and fall are the most comfortable windows. Pollen peaks in April and May, while October tends to bring the year's driest weather, mild days, and hardwood color across the Piedmont. Peanut Festival weekend in Emporia in late September can tighten availability at nearby campgrounds.
Winters are chilly rather than harsh. January averages a high near 50 and a low near 30, with occasional light snow between December and February. Interstate-corridor parks like Emporia/I-95 KOA and South Forty Camp Resort typically stay open year-round, though pools and some amenities close outside the Memorial Day to Labor Day window.
How to book campgrounds near Jarratt
Most campgrounds in the Jarratt and Emporia area are privately owned and take reservations directly by phone or through their own websites. The Emporia/I-95 KOA books through the KOA reservation system and app, which lets travelers hold multiple stops in one cart. KOA's standard cancellation policy requires seven days' notice for RV and tent sites, with a fee retained on the deposit.
Picture Lake Campground, South Forty Camp Resort, Camptown Campground, and Emporia Campground / I-95 are best reached by phone or via their own sites; several also list availability on RoverPass, Good Sam, or Hipcamp. Virginia State Park campgrounds farther afield use the Virginia State Parks reservation system, powered by ReserveAmerica, and open windows well in advance for peak weekends.
Book I-95 corridor sites early for holiday weekends, snowbird migration in October and April, and Peanut Festival weekend.
What to expect on the ground
This stretch of I-95 is flat coastal-plain terrain with pine and hardwood cover. Expect straightforward access from the interstate, generally level pull-through sites, and standard 30/50-amp electric with water and sewer at most named parks. Cell coverage is solid along the corridor; campground Wi-Fi ranges from usable to slow at peak hours.
Many parks in the area carry a mix of overnight travelers and long-term or seasonal residents, so transient sites are often clustered near the entrance. Picture Lake sits next to the Virginia Motorsports Park drag strip, which is audible on race weekends, and some Emporia-area properties are close to active rail lines.
Bring bug spray from late spring through early fall. Mosquitoes and ticks are active in the wooded sites, and afternoon storms can arrive quickly.
