Built for Virginia's RV Travelers

Why Hampton Roads & Northern Virginia
RV Families Choose Wilderness

You know beach traffic. You know crowded campgrounds. Wilderness is the escape that actually delivers — a true resort experience, not just a gravel lot with hookups.

Big Rigs Welcome

Pull-through and back-in sites sized for Class A, Class C, fifth-wheels, and toy haulers. No white-knuckling into a tight spot — just drive in and plug in.

The Beach Family's Perfect Off-Season

You live near the ocean — you know summer crowds. Get that same outdoor energy with none of the boardwalk traffic. Swap salt air for Virginia pine air.

Kids Are Fully Occupied

Adventure park, indoor and outdoor pools, gem mining, kids' camp, archery, and daily organized events. Zero "I'm bored" from check-in to checkout.

Your Convoy Stays Together

Group sites and neighboring hookups keep your crew connected. Three rigs or thirteen — we accommodate your whole group in the same area.

Events All Season Long

Comedy shows, live music, flea markets, holiday celebrations, and kids' camp weeks. Every trip has a reason beyond "let's camp" — though that's already plenty.

Mountains Change Everything

Cool nights, forested mornings, and Virginia foothills light — a completely different world from coastal Virginia. One tank of gas changes your whole outlook.

The Perfect Multigenerational Getaway

Everyone Travels Their Own Way

RV trips are tailor-made for multigenerational families. Everyone stays comfortable in their own space and comes together when it matters — around the fire, at the pool, or at a live show.

Your Complete Virginia RV Travel Guide

RV Camping in Virginia: Why Wilderness Presidential Resort Belongs on Your List

When Virginia RV travelers search for their next destination, they want more than a place to park. They want full hookup RV sites with 30 and 50 amp service, genuine resort amenities, a safe family-friendly environment, and a location that earns the drive. Wilderness Presidential Resort, at 9220 Plank Road in Spotsylvania, Virginia, delivers on every count — and has been doing so for decades.

Sitting on 600 wooded acres in Spotsylvania County just west of Fredericksburg, Wilderness is one of Virginia's most complete RV resort destinations. Whether you're rolling in from Hampton Roads on I-64, heading south from the D.C. metro on I-95, or coming across from Richmond, you'll find that Wilderness is precisely positioned — close enough for a long weekend, far enough to genuinely unwind.

Full Hookup RV Sites in Spotsylvania, VA

Every RV site at Wilderness Presidential Resort comes with full hookups: 30 and 50 amp electric service, fresh water, and sewer connections. Pull-through sites are available for larger rigs, and the resort comfortably accommodates Class A motorhomes, Class C RVs, fifth-wheels, and toy haulers. This is the complete RV infrastructure that seasoned RV travelers expect — paired with the kind of resort programming that makes every member of the family eager to come back.

An RV Resort Near Washington, D.C.

Wilderness Presidential Resort sits approximately 60 miles south of Washington, D.C. — making it one of the closest full-service resorts to the nation's capital. RV travelers from Northern Virginia and the D.C. metro area will find Wilderness an effortless drive, with the added bonus of the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park — which includes the Wilderness, Chancellorsville, and Fredericksburg Civil War battlefields — located directly across the street from the resort. For history-minded RV families, this alone makes Wilderness an exceptional base camp.

RV Camping Near Richmond, Virginia

For RV travelers coming from Richmond and central Virginia, Wilderness is a straightforward 90-minute drive north on I-95. The resort offers everything a Richmond-area family needs for a proper RV escape: wooded hookup sites, multiple pools, adventure activities, and an event calendar that gives every trip its own character. It's the kind of destination you plan in advance — and then find yourself planning again on the drive home.

RV Glamping: The Best of Both Worlds

"RV glamping" has become one of the fastest-growing travel trends in America, and it's easy to see why. RV glamping means bringing your own comfortable, self-contained home on wheels to a destination with resort-level amenities — so you never sacrifice comfort for adventure. At Wilderness Presidential Resort, your RV site comes with full hookups for uncompromised comfort, while the resort provides the experience: pools, a ropes course, lake kayaking, live entertainment, and organized activities for every age group. It's camping without the roughing it — and a resort stay without the hotel bill.

Virginia RV Campgrounds: What to Look For

Not all Virginia RV campgrounds offer the same experience. When comparing options, experienced RV travelers typically prioritize: full hookup availability (30 and 50 amp service), pull-through sites for larger rigs, clean modern bathhouses, on-site activities for kids, live event programming, and proximity to day-trip attractions. Wilderness Presidential Resort scores on all of these — adding two stocked lakes, a ropes course and adventure park, year-round indoor ice skating, an escape room, and monthly live events to the list. For a full comparison of camping options across the state, see our Virginia campgrounds map and directory.

Virginia Campgrounds With Full Hookups

Not all Virginia campgrounds are created equal. Many offer partial hookups or lack the resort amenities that make a stay truly comfortable. Wilderness Presidential Resort offers what discerning RV travelers expect: electric, water, and sewer at every RV site, combined with the kind of resort programming — pools, adventure activities, live events — that makes the whole family eager to come back.

Group RV Trips & Family Reunions on Wheels

One of the most popular uses of Wilderness Presidential Resort is the group RV getaway. Multiple families coordinating their rigs can reserve adjacent or grouped sites, creating a private neighborhood feeling within the property. The resort's group events and reunion coordination services make it easy to plan a multigenerational get-together where grandparents can rent a cabin while everyone else stays in their RVs — all within walking distance of each other. It's the kind of trip that becomes an annual tradition.

RV Camping With Kids in Virginia

Wilderness Presidential Resort is purpose-built for RV families with children. Kids' activities include the Adventure Park ropes course, Hazel's Holler Gem Mine, Summer Kids Camp, Sports Camp, archery lessons, kayak rentals, swimming pools, and weekly organized events. The resort's commitment to family programming is one of the primary reasons Hampton Roads RV families return year after year.

Exploring the Area During Your RV Stay

Spotsylvania County and the greater Fredericksburg area offer exceptional day-trip options for RV travelers. Walk the trails at Wilderness and Chancellorsville Battlefields, drive the breathtaking Shenandoah Skyline Drive, visit James Madison's Montpelier, explore Historic Downtown Fredericksburg, or sample the region's acclaimed Virginia craft breweries and wineries. All of it is within easy driving distance of your site at Wilderness.
