Whitetail RV Park
Military campground (Army) on Fort A.P. Hill, near Bowling Green, Virginia. Not open to the general public: see who can use military campgrounds.
Facts from the official page
- Sites
- Asphalt pads with picnic tables. The page says "Thirty 50amp full hookup sites" but also "8 pull-through and 31 back-in", so the total is unclear. source
- Hookups
- Water, sewer and electric (20/30/50 A) at each site. Limited Wi-Fi, only outside the RV Service Center (bathhouse and laundry). source
- Rates
- $45/night; $1,050 for 30 days. No refunds on camping fees. Stays may not exceed 60 consecutive days. source
- Season
- Camping is available year-round. Tent camping is not permitted in the RV park. source
- Reservations
- Call Outdoor Recreation, 804-633-8244. Reservations are "highly recommended", but the page also says sites are first-come, first-served. source
- Eligibility (as listed)
- Active duty and family members, activated Reservists and Army National Guard, retirees, DoD civilians, and full-time on-post DoD contractors. Under "Expanded Patronage", the page lists Purple Heart recipients, former POWs, all veterans with service-connected disabilities, and VA PCAFC primary family caregivers as eligible for recreational lodging. source
- Cabins
- Separate cabin and cottage rentals (Hilltop and Bullocks Pond cabins, Beaverdam Cottage) are listed on the recreational lodging page, from $110 to $400/night. source
Unverified, call ahead
- Exact number of sites (the page gives two different figures).
- Visitor-center requirements for non-ID-card holders at Fort A.P. Hill are not on the MWR page; call ahead.
We could not confirm these on an official page, so we leave them blank rather than guess. Call 804-633-8244.
If you don't have a DoD ID card
Under the 2020 expanded-access rule (32 CFR 225.4), veterans with a VA service-connected disability rating, Purple Heart recipients, former POWs and VA-designated primary family caregivers may use MWR recreational lodging and RV campgrounds. To get on a base, enroll at the installation's visitor center on your first visit, using a VHIC or REAL ID and passing an on-the-spot background check. At check-in, show a VHIC that lists your eligibility status, or a VA letter plus REAL ID. Guests can travel with you but must clear the visitor center themselves (DoD transition plan, Feb 2026).
