We loved it!

My family loved this place and how pretty it was! They have a cute little park that was perfect for my 3 and 5 year old, a big pond for fishing, and it’s such a pretty area if you’d like to go for a nice walk as well, they were all super nice and all the long term guests that I met were super nice as well! It’s in a small area just 30 minutes away from Williamsburg so you can get away from all the chaos. I really hope we have a chance to come back stay again! We left just as they were putting out their Halloween stuff but they sure do go all out with their “Dead Allen’s” theme! I wish we could’ve stayed for it!

The train

Nice, clean campsite. Only issue is you are right next to the train tracks so if you are a light sleeper you will hear those trains throughout the night.

Absolutely beautiful campground

There is a huge lake to go fishing, great restuarant nearby, the campground had a barbeque dinner for everyone. Lots of trails to walk. Brittany and Brock were amazing to work with and they are always working hard to keep up the campground. If you go make sure you say hi to Peanut (office Dachshund).
