Thomas Jefferson's magnificent Monticello is a big draw here, and so is the woodsy Charlottesville KOA in the Blue Ridge Mountain foothills, where dogwoods bloom in spring and hardwoods blaze with brilliant fall colors. It's just a half hour to Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway for stunning vistas, hiking trails, cave tours and waterfalls. Visit a trio of historic sites: Monticello, Highland (home of James Monroe) and Michie Tavern, where a costumed staff serves an 18th-century lunch. Also, take a tour of Jefferson's lovely University of Virginia campus and Walton's Mountain Museum, which recreates some of the real John Boy's life. Try tubing and rafting on the nearby James River, enjoy a wine tasting at a local vineyard or dine in downtown Charlottesville. Back at KOA, enjoy the pool, sports field, game room, pond or relax and listen to nature at your site. Pool: Memorial Weekend - Labor Day Weekend. Max pull thru: 65 feet.
We currently offer the following activities:
Starts: 05/29/2025 - Ends: 05/29/2021
On Holiday Weekends (Memorial day weekend, July 4th, and Labor Day weekend) we have family and kids activities which can include face painting, Henna tattooing, ice cream socials and more. Please see the office for the activities schedule.
Our campground is very small and there are many things to do in the surrounding area https://www.charlottesvillefamily.com/. On non holiday weekends we do not have activities on the campground since most people are out and about enjoying Charlottesville and central Virginia. We do not have Halloween events on our campground but you can feel free to decorate your site (not our trees, thank you).
Starts: 05/29/2025 - Ends: 05/29/2021
