RV rental Richmond, VA

Richmond is a classy, culture-packed commercial hub on the eastern edge of Virginia's rugged Piedmont region. The city hugs the winding James River, which flows along the city's southern border and all the way to the Atlantic.

The waterway played a critical role in Richmond history, especially during wartimes and as the city established its industrial and commercial economies. Today, the river still serves as a commercial thoroughfare, though it's also a popular place for water recreation, fishing, and wildlife viewing.

Richmond dates back to the mid-1700s and serves as the state capital, with world-class restaurants and theaters and hundreds of historical sites. Surrounded by breathtaking terrain, Richmond is accessible via several major highways and the Richmond International Airport.

Washington DC and the Chesapeake Bay are within day-tripping distance, and the majestic Shenandoah National Park is less than two hours' drive away.
