Americamps RV Resort located Ashland, VA with sister parks in Raleigh Oaks, Twin Grove, and Fayettville was founded in 2012 and offers consistent and enjoyable rv park experiences at its four locations. The expansive park with over 198 sites is well maintained, landscaped and easy to navigate with a 45’ motorcoach (we recommend unhooking when going to your site and when leaving as there are some tight turns). As my readers know I quibble about the ‘resort’ nomenclature and so this is not a resort in the true sense since it does not have a restaurant nor food wagon. Nonetheless, the amenities ranging from a large sparkling clear pool to a well equipped fitness center building, dog park, etc make this a destination stop. A creative innovation is the astro-turf surrounding the pool apron providing a clean and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere in which to relax in one of many lounge chairs.
The location of this park makes it a natural for visiting many local attractions such as Monticello (about an hours drive), Berkeley Plantation ( a 45 minute drive), Museum of the Confederacy (15 miles to the south), and of course historic Richmond, just to highlight a few.
Located close to the I95 corridor the park is easily accessed and offers older well maintained concrete pads with concrete patios, a picnic table, and fire pit. Noticeable is the manicured landscaping and the shipshape rv sites. FHU hookups work well and the 50 amp service provided us with good continuous 60 amp draw to run our air conditioners. WiFi is provided and we were able to not only retrieve email, but also stream movies with little degradation of signal. Our OTA (over the air antenna) delivered numerous HD channels due to our proximity to Richmond. The bath houses are clean and modern.
The Takeaway: Americamps RV Resort at Ashland provides a carefully landscaped haven, new sparkling pool, clean and contemporary bath houses. Its close proximity to many historic attractions and easy access from I95 makes this a must stop. Once ensconced inside the park one is isolated from the surrounding high density commercial/industrial neighborhood.
