RV rental James River State Park, VA: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Search for a rental RV in Buckingham County and then take your pick of the sites available in the park's two RV-friendly campgrounds. While there are four campgrounds in total throughout the park, two of them — Branch Pond and Canoe Landing — only offer primitive camping for tents.

RVs, pop-ups, and tents are all welcome here, with a maximum vehicle length of 40 feet. Each campsite gets its own picnic table, lantern holder, and fire-ring grill, while the nearby bathhouse features hot showers and a sink for washing dishes. Other features include a dump station, coin-operated laundry facilities, and a boat launching ramp. Leashed and well-behaved pets are also welcome. Horseshoe Campground. Horseshoe Campground is a smaller camping area with 10 sites. All sites offer electrical (20, 30, and 50-amp) and water hookups, while all sites are pull-through and designed in such a way to allow two trailers to share a common area between their sites. Once again, all campsites get their own picnic table, lantern holder, and fire-ring grill, and the restrooms and showers are just a short walk away. Other facilities include 20 covered horse stalls, a dump station, and a boat launching area. Leashed pets are also welcome. Lodges, a bunkhouse, and several cabins are also available in the park for visitors who won't be staying in an RV.
