Try Natural Tunnel State Park between Duffield, VA and Clinchport, VA. It is about 24 miles northwest of Kingsport,TN.
If I remember corretly the road from Kingsport to the road for the campground is four lane highway, even thru the developed areas.
The campground has an old and new section. We stayed in the new section. Sites are decent size, bath house is new with a laundry. The sites have electricity and water.
Natural Tunnel is located just off of Rt 23, which changes into I-26 at the TN line, at the 17.3 mile marker, then you have about 1 mile until the entrance of the park. It is just north of Kingsport, TN. I don't know which border you want to be close to because Virginia runs along about 150 miles of TN's border. If you could give us a little more information, it might help to pinpoint something.
The "new" section is Lover's Leap Campground and has 30 and 50 amp, a new bath house with individual shower rooms along the back, laundry facility and a large stainless steel double sink outside for your large pots, etc. Each of the sites are long - usually about 50'-75' in length and will accommodate even the longest/largest RVs. The sites are pea gravel and gravel. There are limited trees ON the site, but the sites are fairly private and do have views of the trees and surrounding forests.
The "old" section is Cove View campground and has 20 and 30 amp only. All the sites are pull-thru and although they may be listed to accommodate a 40' RV, there are trees and turns in the road that limit that to about 30' unless you wait for everyone else to leave the campground so you can use their sites to get turned around. There is an old, but clean, bath house in this campground and you can use the laundry facilities in the other one.
There is WIFI at the camp store that is pretty good, there is a large pool with diving boards, waterslides and a lunch counter within the park. There are lots of activities during the summer months, both during the day and at evenings.
We camp host at the campground a couple of months each summer, so we are very familiar with it.
