We’re heading back to Fredericksburg, Virginia for a weekend at the KOA Holiday campground to get our rigs ready for camping season. Need to lubricate those seals? Sanitize the fresh water tank? Tackle that small maintenance project? Need help or advice on a larger maintenance project? Now’s the time!
DJ Mastin, owner of Broken Rivets RV Service (exclusively dedicated to Airstream maintenance, renovation, and repair), will be on hand during the weekend to provide knowledge and answer questions at a Maintaining Your Trailer class on Saturday morning. DJ will also be available during the weekend to assist with minor repairs, and questions. You will be able to schedule your appointment with DJ ahead of time (stay tuned for details). And, even if you’ve attended one of DJ’s classes before, there’s always something new to learn about taking care of your Airstream.
The rally fee is $15 per person and will cover rally costs and provide a thank you gift for DJ.
Sites are full hookups and are $51-71 plus tax per night. Thursday arrivals are welcome and we can get the fun started early! See the rally schedule below. Please contact KOA Fredericksburg directly by phone to book your site.
The Fredericksburg / Washington DC South KOA Holiday campground is not your typical RV park. It has the feel of a family-owned campground with immaculate facilities and amenities in a
remote country setting only a few miles from a full range of dining, recreational, entertainment, and shopping options in Fredericksburg.
Book with the campsite directly (by phone) and identify yourself as part of the group (VAC 109). Check-in time is 1:00 pm. Check-out time is 11:00 am.
The deadline to register for the rally through the Jotform is February 20, 2027.
