Our campground hosts will be Jean and Larry Daniels, campground owners and fellow RCC members. Powhatan is just west of Richmond VA, an area steeped in history. Final itineraries are still in the planning stages but will definitely include Civil War history museums in Richmond and a trip to Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s home in Charlottesville. There will be plenty of free time for shopping, golf, and sight-seeing on your own- along with good food and warm fellowship .
