18 RV Sites, 2 Tent Sites

Smith Mountain Campground in Penhook, VA, offers 20 full-hookup RV sites and 2 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 50 feet. Sites come in three categories — back-in 30-amp water-and-electric, back-in 30/50-amp, and pull-thru 30/50-amp — with full-hookup sites carrying water, sewer, and electric plus a fire pit and picnic table.

Halesford Harbour Resort

1 Cabin, 25 Condos

Halesford Harbour Resort in Moneta, Virginia, offers RV camping alongside 26 cabin and condo units across 41 acres of Smith Mountain Lake shoreline, open all year. A full marina with boat rentals, boat ramp, boat docks, and boat storage joins an outdoor pool, beach, sports courts, and walking trails. RV sites carry full hookups. Contact the resort to confirm amp service, length limits, and current site availability for your rig — the published site records are incomplete, and the property is primarily a cabin and marina operation with RV camping alongside. Twenty-six cabins and condos make up the bulk of the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The marina anchors everything, with boat rentals, a boat ramp, boat docks, and boat storage opening the lake for boating, swimming, and inflatable water toys. An outdoor pool, beach, playground, pavilion, sports courts, basketball, dog park, and walking trails fill the rest, with planned activities through the season and wine and beer tasting nearby. Forty-one acres of shoreline is a substantial holding on this lake. Smith Mountain Lake covers 20,600 acres with 500 miles of shoreline, created in 1966 when Appalachian Power dammed the Roanoke River — and it became one of the most beloved recreational lakes in the South almost by accident. Smith Mountain Lake State Park is close, the Crooked Road music trail runs through the region, and Roanoke sits about 45 minutes northwest. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand and fills the corridor. Reserve well ahead for Memorial Day through Labor Day, with far easier availability in the spring and fall.

The riverfront sites are the ones to request, and at 84 feet the pull-throughs take long coaches. The park is open all year, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a dump station, WiFi, and a cabin for guests without a rig. Pets are welcome. Smith River frontage runs the property, with fishing, kayaking, and picnicking straight from the site.

The Smith River is one of the better trout tailwaters in the state. Rates by site category are on the booking page. Premium riverfront sites book first.

Misty Mountain Camp Resort

92 RV Sites, 16 Cabins, 15 Tent Sites

Misty Mountain Camp Resort in Greenwood, Virginia, is a full-hookup camp resort with RV sites, tent sites and cabin rentals, an outdoor pool, a fitness center and a clubhouse, set half a mile off Interstate 64 at the eastern foot of the Blue Ridge. The property is big-rig friendly and takes coaches up to 90 feet, which makes it one of the more accommodating options in the Rockfish Gap corridor between Charlottesville and Shenandoah National Park. Full-hookup RV sites handle rigs to 90 feet, with a dump station on site for guests who need it. Tent sites suit campers who want the mountain setting without hauling a rig, and cabin rentals provide enclosed lodging for guests traveling without either. A general store covers basics, propane is available by both fill and exchange, and firewood is sold on site. Bathrooms, showers and laundry are available throughout the season, and WiFi reaches the sites. On-site recreation is unusually deep for a campground this size. An outdoor pool anchors the summer season, with a fitness center and clubhouse open year-round and a recreation center for indoor gathering. Sports courts host basketball and volleyball, and horseshoes and corn hole fill the space between. A playground serves younger guests, a fenced dog park serves the four-legged ones, and walking trails run the property past a pond and the creek that crosses the grounds. A covered pavilion hosts planned activities, live music and visiting food trucks through the summer, and the resort also operates as a wedding venue. Gem mining and gold panning round out the on-site programming. Pets are welcome. Shenandoah National Park's southern entrance at Rockfish Gap is 20 miles north, where Skyline Drive begins its 105-mile run along the Blue Ridge crest and the Blue Ridge Parkway heads south toward Cherokee. Charlottesville lies 15 miles east on I-64, putting Monticello, the University of Virginia and the Downtown Mall within a half-hour drive, and the Greenwood-area wineries sit closer still. Misty Mountain operates through Albemarle County's four-season climate. Spring wildflowers from April into May and fall foliage from mid-October into early November are the two peak windows, and both draw heavily from the Richmond, Northern Virginia and Washington markets. Book well ahead for fall color weekends and for the summer live-music calendar.

River's Rest Marina & Resort

21 Condos

River's Rest Marina and Resort in Charles City, Virginia, offers RV camping alongside 21 condo units across 16.5 acres on the Chickahominy River. A full marina with boat docks and a boat ramp joins an outdoor pool, on-site dining, a bar, playground, and dog park at a water-focused property that opened in 2022. RV sites are available alongside the condos. Contact the resort to confirm hookups, amp service, and length limits for your rig — the published site records are incomplete, and the property is primarily a marina and condo operation with RV camping alongside. Twenty-one condos make up the bulk of the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side.

The Chickahominy winds through tidal woodland between Richmond and Williamsburg in one of Virginia's most historically layered counties — Charles City County holds several of the great James River plantations, and the river itself was central to both the Powhatan confederacy and the Peninsula Campaign. The fishing runs to largemouth, catfish, and seasonal shad, and both Richmond and Colonial Williamsburg are within about 45 minutes. Summer boating season drives demand. Reserve well ahead.
