Planning a trip to Busch Gardens Europe Here’s some tips…




While planning an RV road trip to Virginia, visitors may like to put thought into where to stay with an RV that will be both convenient and comfortable. Williamsburg / Busch Gardens Area KOA ticks that box, and is a mere 12 miles from the amusement park toward Lightfoot and Norge.


Start: Fly into either Washington Regan (DCA), Washington Dulles (IAD) or Baltimore Washington International (BWI), as this is where your loop road trip will end. If you would like to do a straight shot, fly into Newport News (PHF) and then out of a Washington DC area airport. Depending on your origin, Baltimore (BWI) may also be an option instead of DCA or IAD, as there seem to be more direct flights to BWI from Washington and Oregon for some reason.


These are such great tips! I have a trip planned in July and I will come back to this list as I am planning. Avoid rush hour is HUGE. I remember as a kid my family would travel to Busch Gardens each year and each time we would wake up sleepy and annoyed at 4am, but still so excited to get on the road to vacation. This made the trip to smooth I must say!


If you want to stay somewhere close to the theme park, the Kings Dominion KOA is a no-brainer. They offer free shuttles to the park, a pool, and free WiFi. You can even pick up RV rentals in Virginia near the campground! Rates average around $40 per night, depending on which site you want and what time of year you make your trip.


Memphis, TN: it is easy to spend at least 3 days in Memphis, more if you want to do a day trip to Graceland. You will need a half-day to take in the sobering exhibits at the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel (the place where MLK Jr. was assassinated.) Also visit Slave Haven, Sun Studios and STAX Museum of American Soul Museum. Just leave time to enjoy some great BBQ and soul food.


We have two little girls, who have also flown over 80 times; my husband is Australian so that includes some ultra long-haul flights and trips away. We have picked up plenty of tips for travelling through the baby, toddler, pre-schooler stages and beyond!
