Longwood Campground

Sitting on the shores of John H. Kerr Reservoir formed by the meandering Roanoke River, on the border between Virginia and North Carolina, Longwood Campground should be the next stop on your RV camping trip. Park your campervan rental next to the lake and surround yourself with lush vegetation providing a much-needed getaway from the city. Amenities you will find at this pet-friendly campground include restrooms, showers, and picnic tables and fire rings. RV sites come with water, electric, or no hookups, and there are also tent sites for travelers not camping at Longwood Campground in an RV.

You don’t have to go far to start enjoying the wonderful nature of the region – the reservoir, also known as Buggs Island Lake, is great for fishing, swimming, and boating, while its wooded shores seem like they were made for picnicking and wildlife viewing. If you are feeling a bit more adventurous, you can hit the road in your rental RV and reach the Appalachian Mountains to the west and the Chesapeake Bay to the east of the state.

You can be a nature lover while still hoping to experience urban centers in the area you are visiting, and you are definitely in luck – the campground is located between two capitals. Richmond, the capital of Virginia, is calling for curious travelers to discover its interesting attractions, Maymont and Virginia State Capitol being some of them. Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina, is waiting in the opposite direction, home to several universities and exciting museums. If you are ready to visit another capital, none other than the capital of the country, travel north to the busy streets and monumental buildings of Washington D.C.
