Virginia Campground Fees, Hookups & Reservations
No fee data in the federal directory. We report the reservable-vs-first-come split by agency; nightly fees and hookup specifics live on each campground's Recreation.gov page. Federal coverage only.
Virginia has 62 federal campgrounds managed by agencies including the National Forest Service and National Park Service. Of these, 57 campgrounds operate on a reservation system, while 5 operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations for the majority of Virginia's federal campgrounds can be made through Recreation.gov, the official federal reservation platform.
Fees, hookup availability, and amenities vary considerably across Virginia's federal campgrounds and must be verified directly on each facility's Recreation.gov page. The federal directory does not provide standardized fee schedules or hookup details, as these differ by location and season. Prospective campers should check the specific campground listing before planning their visit to confirm pricing, electrical availability, water connections, and other services relevant to their camping needs.
Where fees and hookups actually live
The federal directory tracks who manages a campground, how many sites it has and whether it's reservable — but not nightly fees or RV hookups, which differ site to site. For those, open the campground's Recreation.gov page, where current fees, hookup types and the reservation window are listed.
| Managing agency | Reservable | First-come |
|---|---|---|
| U.S. Forest Service | 33 | 0 |
| U.S. Army Corps of Engineers | 14 | 1 |
| National Park Service | 10 | 4 |
Common questions
Do Virginia federal campgrounds have RV hookups?
Some do and some don't — hookup availability isn't in the federal directory data, so check each campground's Recreation.gov page for water, electric and sewer details.
How much does it cost to camp?
Fees vary by facility and aren't part of the federal export, so we don't quote a price. Each Recreation.gov facility page shows its current nightly fee.
