Travel safe
ScoutThe cabin we stayed in was very nice. It had a very large back deck with a picnic table. We chose one without a bathroom, and the bathhouse was a very short walk. They have plenty of recreational activities for the kids. The staff was friendly and helpful. The playgrounds and pool were very clean, and the store had everything we needed. It is a very short drive off the highway and an easy commute to all of Williamsburg’s attractions. My only complaint is that my dogs typically travel everywhere with me, but I was not allowed to bring them on this trip because pit bulls are the ONLY breed they don’t allow on the campgrounds. However, if you have other breeds there is a very small dog park for them to run around and play. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay at other KOAs when the dogs are not with us.
GuideWe stayed here for 12 days during the pandemic. The campground is huge, with lots of amenities. We stayed in the large sites, in the last row beside the field, which was nice, gave extra parking and extra space to play. The spots for smaller campers looked difficult to find/park, but it was very empty so difficult to say. Nice dog park and dog beach.
GuideThis campsite and park is a ton of fun. We've never camped here but we lived about 5 minutes down the road from the park and absolutely loved it. There are miles of trails around the lake and through the woods you can follow. It is extremely dog friendly with a fenced in dog park as well. There are kayaks and paddle boats you can rent by the hour. This park has plenty of camping spots and also has some yurts that are available to rent out. I would recommend this spot to anyone who wants a convenient family friendly camping/outdoor experience.
Guidethis was our first trip in our travel trailer, so we didn’t know what to expect. the campground was very clean, we constantly saw crew keeping it up. we had a campfire and roasted s’mores. the general store was fully stocked. the pool and water park area were my daughter’s favorite. they had big jumpy things for the kids, an out door movie theater and a nice playground. our dog enjoyed the dog park.
GuideMagical stay at Point Lookout — New Tulip Loop (Full Hook‑Up) and I’m already planning a return. The whole park feels peaceful and safe, the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, and our site is clean and well‑maintained. The loop’s energy felt magical — quiet, restorative, and tucked into the trees so it felt private but not isolated. Full hookups were convenient and reliable; the site layout is roomy and pet‑friendly, with an easy walk to a beautiful dog beach so our pup had a blast. We walked to stunning beaches and spent afternoons watching water and sky at the tip of the peninsula — spectacular views where the Potomac meets the Chesapeake. The park’s Civil War history and lighthouse added fascinating, walkable sites to explore between beach time, giving the stay both recreation and depth. Clean facilities, helpful staff at the park office, and well-marked trails made everything low‑stress and enjoyable. If you want a peaceful, historic, pet‑friendly Class A spot with full hookups and gorgeous nearby beaches, Tulip Loop at Point Lookout is five stars from me.
LegendOne of the best campgrounds we’ve stayed at. It’s our first experience with a KOA, and so far impressed. The whole campground is shady, and while some sites appear pretty on top of one another most, including ours, are are standard. Great amenities, including a pool and a small splash pad. The jumping pillows are awesome for the kids. The only criticisms are that the dog park is very small, and the sewer hook up for our site is nearly above the outlet (although this seems site specific). We are in Williamsburg a lot and will definitely be back.
The Northern Neck of Virginia offers riverside and bayfront camping options near Kilmarnock, where the Chesapeake Bay meets the Rappahannock River. The area sits at low elevation (10-20 feet above sea level) with humid summer temperatures averaging 85-90°F from June through August. Insect activity peaks during summer months, particularly in wetland areas where camping sites often border marshes or waterways.
Kayaking and water sports: Belle Isle State Park provides boat rentals with water access directly from the camping area. "We kayaked in a sunset which was gorgeous and their were six tent sites. 4 of which were close together and two new ones which were really nice. No one was there but us. You can boat or hike in," explains Gina G., who camped at Belle Isle State Park Campground.
Crabbing on dedicated piers: Cross Rip Camp offers specific areas for this popular local activity. "Lovely small campground right on the banks of the bay! This woman owned campground is 'old-school', which is perfect in the absolute serene setting. No sewer but full electric and water. Dump station. Lots of activities: fishing, crabbing, swimming, boating, regattas, hiking/walking, and fresh waterpond catch & release," notes Trina C., who visited Cross Rip Camp.
Fossil hunting and historical exploration: Point Lookout State Park provides educational opportunities about its Civil War history. "This park has a sad history and is probably haunted, but it's got ocean bay views, fishing, and historical recreations to visit," writes Lori, who camped there. The park also contains a Civil War and nature museum worth exploring when open.
Private, spacious sites: Thousand Trails Chesapeake Bay offers camping spots with good separation for quieter stays. "Very nice people I stayed a little over a month here," reports Clifton B., who enjoyed an extended stay at Thousand Trails Chesapeake Bay.
Waterfront access for swimming: Grey's Point Camp features riverside locations for water activities. "This is one of the best campgrounds we have stayed at. It is very family oriented with lots to do for all ages. The sites are spacious and always clean when we arrive. The new bath house is excellent. The views of the 'Rivah' are phenomenal," shares Cathy F., who visited Grey's Point Camp.
Clean facilities despite remote locations: Many campgrounds maintain high cleanliness standards. "Spent Halloween here on a last minute reservation and man were we happy! This campsite is remote to the rest of VA for the most part, but hey isn't that what camping is all about? Site #16 was perfect. It was gravel site that was level and very well maintained," reports Frank E., who was pleasantly surprised by Belle Isle State Park's condition.
Bug preparation essential: Insect populations can be overwhelming in wetland areas. "We had super mutant mosquitoes and horse flies. They were resisitant to citronella candles, essential oils, and bug spray with 40% deet. We only found relief in the water," warns Gina G. about her experience at Belle Isle State Park.
Limited grocery options: Most campgrounds are far from major stores. "Come stocked with food and water since I don't think there's any large food markets that are close by," advises Frank E. who camped at Belle Isle.
