Traveling to Glen Allen by RV

I-95 provides the main north-south corridor, with Exit 92 (Sliding Hill Road) and Exit 89 (Parham Road) offering the best motorhome access to Glen Allen's core area. I-64 intersects from the east and west, with Exit 183 (Broad Street/US-250) connecting directly to several dump stations. US-1 (Brook Road) runs parallel to I-95 and handles motorhome traffic better than some suburban routes.

Watch for height restrictions on some local roads, particularly bridges over railroad tracks. Most major arteries accommodate standard motorhome heights, but always verify clearances before deviating from main routes. Brook Road and Parham Road both offer good motorhome access with minimal tight turns.

Overnight parking options include the Walmart on West Broad Street, though you should confirm current policies before settling in. Several truck stops along I-95 welcome RVers for overnight stays. Rest areas on I-95 north and southbound provide short-term parking but no dump facilities.

Winter ice storms occasionally affect the Richmond area, making some secondary roads treacherous for RVs. Spring and fall typically offer the smoothest driving conditions, while summer brings heavier traffic but better road maintenance. The area's relatively flat terrain makes it motorhome-friendly compared to Virginia's mountain regions.

Explore the Glen Allen Area

Hit dump stations early morning or late afternoon to avoid the heaviest traffic, especially during summer travel season. Many facilities get busy between 10 AM and 2 PM when day-trippers and weekend warriors are moving.

Bring your own rinse water since not all stations provide it. The ones that do often have limited pressure or awkward hose placement for larger rigs. A portable rinse tank saves time and ensures you can clean up properly.

Fuel up at truck stops along I-95 rather than smaller gas stations in Glen Allen proper -- better prices and easier motorhome access. The Flying J south of town on I-95 offers good diesel prices and motorhome-friendly lanes.

For propane, Tractor Supply on West Broad Street fills tanks and exchanges cylinders with decent motorhome parking. Several hardware stores in the area also handle propane, but parking can be tight.

RV repairs and parts are available at Camping World in nearby Doswell, about 20 minutes north on I-95. For emergency repairs, several mobile motorhome techs serve the Richmond area and can meet you at campgrounds or parking lots.

The motorhome service point at some locations includes fresh water spigots, but they're not always conveniently placed for motorhome tanks. Scope out the layout before positioning your rig to avoid having to reposition for water fills.
