Virginia has one of the densest clusters of military RV parks and campgrounds in the country, anchored by the massive Navy and Army footprint around Hampton Roads. Between Fort Belvoir near D.C., the FamCamps of Hampton Roads, and Colonial Williamsburg’s Cheatham Annex, there’s a well-placed stop almost anywhere you’re driving through the Commonwealth.
Northern Virginia
Close to the capital, with easy access to D.C. sightseeing and I-95 travel.
- Fort Belvoir Travel Camp — Fort Belvoir, Army. A convenient overnight or extended stop just south of Washington, D.C., with the base’s full range of amenities nearby.
- Quantico Recreational Camping (Lunga Park) — MCB Quantico, Marine Corps.
- Whitetail RV Park — Fort A.P. Hill (Fort Walker), Bowling Green, Army. A quieter, more rural stop between D.C. and Richmond, good for a night’s break on I-95.
Insider tip: Fort Belvoir sits close enough to the Beltway that it makes a practical base for a multi-day D.C. trip without paying D.C.-area RV park rates.
Hampton Roads / Virginia Beach
The heart of Virginia’s military RV scene — Navy, Army, and Air Force installations are clustered tightly around Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Chesapeake.
- JEB Little Creek Campground & RV Park — JEB Little Creek-Fort Story, Virginia Beach, Navy.
- Fort Story & 67th Street Townhouses — JEB Little Creek-Fort Story, Virginia Beach, Navy. Cottages and townhouses just off the beach.
- Ocean Pines RV Park — NAS Oceana, Virginia Beach, Navy.
- Sea Mist RV Park — NAS Oceana Dam Neck Annex, Virginia Beach, Navy.
- Stewart Campgrounds — NSA Hampton Roads Northwest Annex, Chesapeake, Navy.
- Fort Eustis Outdoor Recreation Campground — JB Langley-Eustis (Fort Eustis), Newport News, Army.
- Bethel Recreation Area (Langley FamCamp) — JB Langley-Eustis, Hampton, Air Force.
Insider tip: With this many options packed into one metro area, it’s worth calling around — Virginia Beach installations fill up fast in summer, and a site at a neighboring base is often just a short drive from the same beaches.
Williamsburg
A good base for exploring Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown.
- Cheatham Annex Outdoors & Cottages — NWS Yorktown, Williamsburg, Navy. Cabins and outdoor recreation minutes from the historic triangle.
Who Can Stay
Military RV parks and FamCamps are generally open to active duty, retirees, National Guard and Reserve members, and DoD civilians, though eligibility and priority rules vary by installation and branch. Always confirm your eligibility and any sponsor requirements directly with the campground before booking.
Tips for Booking in Virginia
- Hampton Roads bases book up early for summer beach season — reserve as far ahead as each installation allows.
- Have your military ID and any required registration paperwork ready; most installations require a background check or visitor pass for base access.
- Call ahead to confirm site availability and hookup types (many sites offer full hookups, but not all).
- If a base near your route doesn’t have room, check neighboring installations — Hampton Roads especially has several bases within a short drive of each other.
