U-Haul self-storage and RV parking in Petersburg, VA with indoor and outdoor options and a 4.9 Google rating.
Petersburg, VA
Car & Vehicle Storage in Petersburg, VA
Petersburg sits at the fall line of the Appomattox, close enough to I-95 and Fort Lee that a lot of rigs pass through or stay a while. Two storage facilities serve this stretch, and both run 24/7 gate access. That matters if you tow in late or want to pull out before dawn. Neither is a resort. They are working yards with cameras, and for a motorhome that is mostly what you need.

What's actually available
Two facilities in town, and the split runs indoor and outdoor on both. Self-Storage at U-Haul holds the higher rating at 4.9 from 10 reviews, with cameras, a wash bay and climate control on the indoor side. Goodfellas Storage comes in at 4.3 from 6 reviews and adds boat and semi space to the mix, which helps if the rig shares the driveway with a trailer or a second toy. Both take vehicles. Call before you commit. Ask how wide the gate opening is and how much turning room the aisle gives a long wheelbase. A yard that fits a pickup and a yard that fits a 40-foot diesel pusher are not the same yard, and the photos rarely tell you.
Picking between the two
Indoor storage earns its keep in central Virginia, where summer sun bakes gelcoat and fall brings pollen and leaves that stain a roof. If you are leaving the coach for months at a stretch, a covered bay slows the UV wear on tires, seals and decals. Climate control goes a step further and keeps the interior from cooking. Outdoor is the cheaper route and fine for a rig you use often. You trade sun exposure for easy pull-in and pull-out. Either way, walk the yard first. Look at the surface under the spot, since gravel and packed dirt drain differently, and check whether the cameras cover where your rig would sit. A rating tells you past customers were satisfied. The walk tells you why.
Storing smart near the Appomattox
Before you park it, pull the batteries or put them on a maintainer, top off the fuel to limit condensation, and close up anything that invites mice. Humidity off the river is real, so a moisture absorber inside the coach is cheap insurance for a long stay. Confirm gate hours in writing even though both facilities list 24/7 access, and get a phone number that reaches a person at night. Ask what your own policy covers while the rig sits, since storage yards seldom insure your vehicle. Then photograph the spot and the coach on move-in day. If a branch comes down or a neighbor clips a mirror, you will want that record.

Questions people ask
How many storage facilities are in Petersburg, VA?
Two. One is Self-Storage at U-Haul, rated 4.9 from 10 reviews, and the other is Goodfellas Storage, rated 4.3 from 6 reviews. Both offer indoor and outdoor spaces, and both list 24/7 gate access.
Is there indoor RV storage in Petersburg?
Yes. Both facilities list indoor storage alongside outdoor spaces, and each also offers climate control. That combination suits a rig you park for the off-season, when sun and humidity do the most wear.
Can I store a boat or a semi truck here?
Goodfellas Storage lists boat and semi space in addition to vehicle storage, so it covers more than just an RV. Self-Storage at U-Haul covers indoor, outdoor and vehicle storage. Call ahead on a semi to confirm the space fits your length.
Do these facilities have 24/7 gate access?
Both do. That helps if you tow in after dark or want an early start. Still get the gate code and a night contact number in writing, and ask how the gate behaves during a power outage.
