Refreshing
Campground was relaxing, had a perfect mom and pop feel to it. Spaces are tight but you don’t feel like you are on top of your neighbor. The train that passes by is great for kids and you barely notice it.
Buyer Beware
- Customer service: poor- weather out of desperate times or just desperation-You can not modify your stay-once you have “locked” in your stay,no matter what!
- TRAIN-all day and night- earth shakes and extremely loud.
- Small sights, no division-packed in tight-
- Decorated for Halloween- A bit too much for very young children or any individual with a diagnosis of ASD or a social emotional history.
Baring Easter music -even when showering. In close approximation to Williamsburg-etc
Halfway point to the beach | Visit to Williamsburg
We stayed in Cabin 1 for one night to break up our travels to NC into two days. We visited Colonial Williamsburg before checking in. It is only minutes away with other activities for young kids near by including mini golf and a Ridley’s museum. The campground was very family oriented and quaint. I believe it’s been open since the 50’s and they have good old fashioned hospitality. I even got a courtesy check in call on our drive down to confirm and ask if we had any questions. I asked about late check in and they were very cheerful and helpful.
It had the cleanest bathrooms and showers I’ve ever come across in a campground.
They have a little arcade, pool and playground for kids. There were porch games like connect four and corn hole by the check in cabin to play also. I appreciated the flyers in our room listing local attractions and suggestions. They even had free donuts and treats for kids on certain days.
We loved our cabin. It was immaculately clean as if it were newly built. The door to the bunk room allowed us to tuck our toddler in early and keep her undisturbed. The A/C, TV and fridge made the stay very comfortable.
The sites are very close together but we felt like we had total privacy the whole time. There’s a train that goes by occasionally which might bother some people but we used to live by one so we liked to hear it roll by.
We plan to stay again on our way to the beach next year.
