Americamps RV Resort

So we spent our first few months in VA while we waited for our house to rent out. We ended up staying at Americamps RV Resort since it was close to where we bought the RV. We really enjoyed our time here and we knew it would be our benchmark for the future places we stayed.

They had activities most days ranging from Dominos and Bingo, to S'Mores, Ice Cream Socials,movie nights, and events for the holidays.



The amenities were nice. The pool was always clean, as were the showers and bathrooms. The laundry rooms were always clean as well. The internet was very good and we didn't have any issues with it. The playground was a little small, but the kids still had a blast playing there. They also have tetherball, horseshoes, cornhole, and ping pong. There is a small store that has a lot of things you could need and the prices are decent. They are have some free ice cream which of course the kids loved. Also every morning they serve waffles!


The staff was always helpful and friendly. They helped us with the learning curve of our first RV, when our car went missing, were super kind when Cat Boy had a meltdown at the 4th of July event realizing he was not being a brat, but that something else was going on, and so much more. If we ever find ourselves in the Richmond VA area we will be staying here for sure.

El Azteca

The Hubby has a thing for Mexican food. Like, the kids and I make him go out alone a lot because we just can not eat that much Mexican. We had a place we really liked back in MD and so the goal in every new location is to find a new Mexican place. We tried El Azteca in Ashland, VA. It was pretty good. They have both salsa, and a white dip (does anyone actually know what that is called?) so the kids were happy. There food was pretty good. The hubby gets the same thing 99% of the time so he got his Chori Pollo, Cat Boy got his usual, burrito, soft taco, rice, and beans, The Boy got his staple of quesadilla and rice, and Monkey, Princess, and I shared who knows what. Everyone left full and happy. Prices were decent and service was good. We went back a few times while we were in the area and will return if we find ourselves in the area again.
