Anvil Campground

anvil campground is great! it’s full of old beautiful trees that keep the sites shady and cool. my daughter loved the pool and “beach” area. we hopped on a bus, at the campground and went to Busch Gardens, it was so convient. the staff is super friendly and the campground is very well maintained. the general store is well stocked and they have ice cream. we will definitely be going back!

Fantastic campground with a multitude of amenities!

Clean and well kept campground but directly located next to busy train tracks. Loud train noise and ground shaking throughout the night.

Excellent Service from Staff

This campground is not large at all and that’s one of the many things to love about it.  Our daughter lived about a mile away so the convenience was great for her to run back and forth for visiting.  The grounds are well taken care of and the team was so friendly.  They really went out of their way to ensure all was well with your site.  The premium sites had a table, swing and fire pit.  Site was gravel but level.   The campground is very close to all Williamsburg activities.  A great walking trail was right down the road. My only complaint if there was one would be the sites could have been a little farther apart.   We would definitely stay here again. 

Great location

We stayed here during our historical tour of Jamestown and Yorktown.  It is a small campground but it has everything you need.  We really loved the sandy playground.  It is completely fenced in and has play equipment, hammocks and a zip line.  The grandkids loved the zip line.  The campground is very clean and the staff was very nice.  The location is fantastic and close to all things Williamsbug.  The only thing that is negative is that it is on the train tracks.  The cabin we stayed in was about 15 feet from the tracks.  Not really a complaint from us since the kids thought it was awesome.  So, just a heads up on the trains.  They are loud and they are often but the campground is a great place to stay due to its location.  

Historical Tour

this is a small campground so close to the many attractions, restaurants and shopping area. campground is close to rail track, fast wifi

small, clean, organized, friendly staff

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.
