Charlottesville KOA

Charlottesville is best known as the closest town to Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s famous house and grounds. We stayed in the lovely KOA about 10 minutes from Monticello. The fact that the campground was completely full and they had to put us in “the sites we don’t use.” We were warned NOT to visit Monticello on the weekend, but our route really didn’t allow for much else this trip.

But the campground is lovely and well-forested. Even though we are under a tree here, the rain is a pleasant, generally even patter on the roof. The temperature is mild so we can sit with the door open and enjoy the fresh air.

Gordon had a bad moment when he saw TWO BEES the size of BIRDS (really!) hovering outside the tree right outside the trailer. But they have not bothered us. We are considering making placating offerings, but worry that might increase the local population.Läs mer
