Hidden Acres Family Campground

The Great Outdoors

You can begin your vacation with an RV rental by driving east to Westmoreland State Park on the edge of the Potomac River. This riverside state park is threaded with seven hiking trails, including a beach trail. While hiking, you can scout for fossilized shark teeth or look up into the treetops. The park is an excellent spot to see bald eagles, osprey, and other North American bird species. Next to the river, you can enjoy a summer picnic or launch a non-motorized vessel. At Westmoreland State Park, you’ll find a boathouse with paddleboards, canoes, and kayaks for rent.Take your RV farther southeast from Hidden Acres Family Campground, and you’ll find yourself at Belle Isle State Park, located alongside the Rappahannock River. This is another scenic location for water sports and riverside picnicking, but this state park also hosts a number of special events throughout the year. Visit in the peak season, and you can take a wagon tour of the 18th-century Historic Belle Isle Mansion or listen to live concerts by the river. During the cooler months, there are organized trick-or-treat trails, harvest-themed family-friendly competitions, and nature programs for teenagers. Throughout the rest of the year, visitors can hike for up to ten miles in Belle Island State Park or search for marsh wildlife from a boardwalk. Belle Isle State Park is also one of the best spots to watch the sunset with RV rentals in Caroline County.Another option is to take your campervan rental southwest to Powhatan State Park on the banks of the James River. The park is a natural hotspot for water sports, with three canoe launch sites and guided canoe tours available. The river offers gentle paddling in beautiful surroundings. There’s plenty to keep you busy on land too because the park is set up with eight miles of hiking trails, most of which are also open for horseback riding and cycling. The Gold Dust Trail, which leads to a splendid view above the James River, is one of the most popular routes. Powhatan State Park is a treat for nature lovers and photographers too. Meanwhile, the Turkey Trail is famous for its displays of wildflowers, and the rest of the park is a haven for warblers, woodpeckers, and many more bird species. Don’t forget to pack a pair of binoculars when you go camping at Hidden Acres Family Campground.

Plus, you can find the most unique souvenirs in Bowling Green’s antique and collectible stores. This is also a pleasant spot to get a bite to eat on the return trip to your RV campground. Although small, the town offers a handful of diners and eateries, including Italian restaurants, grills, and fast food.Those traveling with kids might also want to visit the nearby theme park which hosts over 200 rides. There’s everything from hair-raising roller coasters to stomach-churning drop towers and child-friendly rides.
