How to get to Culpeper Battlefields State Park
The park units sit in Culpeper County, Virginia, roughly 75 miles southwest of Washington, D.C. (about 1 hour 30 minutes) and about 45 miles northeast of Charlottesville (about 1 hour). Most RV access is via US Route 15, US Route 29, and State Route 3, all of which are well suited to larger rigs; avoid narrow farm lanes and posted weight-limited rural bridges when navigating between battlefield tracts. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent travelers is Washington Dulles International (IAD), about 65 miles north, with Richmond International (RIC) another practical option to the southeast.
