"Cabin 24 is a 2BR/1BA cinderblock cabin with waterfront views and large yard space. One room has two bunk beds, dresser, shelving, a lamp, and two night stands. Other room has a queen bed, shelving, a lamp, night stand, and dresser. Fireplace and screened in porch are lovely," noted one visitor about Westmoreland State Park Campground. Several cabin options exist within an hour's drive of Morattico, Virginia, including Belle Isle State Park Campground and Bethpage Camp-Resort. Most cabins feature electricity, heating and air conditioning, with varying levels of furnishing. Westmoreland State Park offers waterfront cabins with fireplaces and screened porches, while American Heritage RV Park provides cabin rentals with bathrooms, microwaves, and small refrigerators. Cabin interiors typically include beds, basic furniture, and sometimes kitchenettes.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Williamsburg Campground offers log cabins as part of their KOA facilities, while Grey's Point Camp and Cross Rip Camp provide cabin rentals with varying amenities. A camper shared that at American Heritage RV Park, "We stayed in a cabin that had two bunks and a full size bed, with a bathroom, microwave and small dorm size fridge." Most campgrounds require advance reservations, especially during peak summer months. Pet policies vary significantly - Belle Isle and Westmoreland State Parks allow pets in designated cabins, while some private campgrounds have breed restrictions or additional fees for pets.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Basic kitchenware may be provided in fully-furnished units, though supplies vary widely between locations. One camper noted about Williamsburg KOA: "They have multiple sites for RVs, tents, camping cabins, yurts, and nicer more fully equipped cabins with bathrooms." Cooking facilities range from outdoor fire rings with grill grates to indoor kitchenettes with microwaves and mini-refrigerators. Grocery options are limited near some campgrounds - Point Lookout State Park visitors mentioned needing to travel 20-30 minutes to reach the nearest full grocery store, though many campgrounds maintain small camp stores with essential items and firewood.

TravelerA beautiful campground. Nice wooded sites with decent space between sites. Bathroom and laundry were clean. Showers were just ok. Nice trails and the walk along the James
river was nice. Will definitely stay again.
TravelerDO NOT WAIST YOUR MONEY! THIS IS A SCAM!! Our 3 campsites flooded with 6 inches of water within an hour of arriving before high tide. Very difficult to get ahold of staff due to limited hours of business. I have requested a refund for failure to render services due to unusable campsites. I have left several voicemails and sent emails with attached pictures. Management has been avoiding my phone calls, will not call back. Very unprofessional. I received one call from"management" at 7:20 pm to tell me that he received a message to call me, but he hasn't looked into why he needs to call me and he will call back the next day. I never heard back from him and that was a week ago. I have followed up daily with phone calls without a return phone call. My family makes several camping trips through the year, will never return here.
TravelerGenerous sized sites but only semi-private. Excellent facilities
GuideEnjoying this campground. Close to all the attractions. Incredible staff, super friendly. Pool and game room are wonderful.
TravelerNote to Self: No Primitive Site reservations...EVER. I love this park. It's situated far enough from the busy traffic noise...beautiful Virginia city of Hayes. When I arrived, it was such a scorching day and there wasn't nearly enough tree cover to shield my tent from the "son of Hades". Suffered heat exhaustion almost to the point of death...Literally. Night was my only respite. If it hadn't been for the wonderful camp attendants who came to my rescue, it would've been an utterly failed experience. Bless their hearts. Other than that, this was a great training experience for an old Novice camper. Now that I'm a bit more practiced, I'm going back 😁, armed with knowledge and more confidence.
TravelerThe good: super clean and new restrooms / showers. The entire parking immaculate. Stayed at site 12. Offers water views and shade. Site 13 is similar and is probably the most ideal site.
Cons: zero privacy. The sites are basically scattered around an open grassy area and fairly close together.
Be aware: sites are not vehicle accessible. Need to carry your kit 50-75 yards.
ScoutIt was a well maintained campsite. Clean bathrooms and great hikes to fossil beach.
TravelerWe enjoyed our stay at American Heritage. We were offered a change of our assigned site if we would prefer to be closer to the bath house. We preferred staying where we were until we discovered that the electric hook-up was far enough away on the grass that we couldn't reach. (We have a little Scamp 13 and the plug was just a little too short.) We had a pull-through site(every other row was pull-through).
It had a full hook-up. The cover on the electric post was missing rivets, so we had to put it back in place ourselves, but there was no problem with the electric. We used 30 Amp for the RV and plugged in our backup battery to the 15 amp plug. The water pressure was good and consistent. We've had problems at other RV sites. We used the sewer connection with no problem at the end.
We did not have an umbrella at the picnic table and seriously considered buying a screen tent because we stayed for 4 days and it was HOT. Some sites had more shade. In fact, that's one thing we'd change next time. The pool was wonderful, the showers were clean and we used the laundry with no problems--they take quarters and washing and drying one load cost $5.00.
The staff was very friendly and responsive. Overall, we had a great stay and would stay again.
ScoutFriendly staff. Good location. Lots of noice near the big road. Laundry room could use a clearing. Bathrooms en toilets are very clean. Not much room between the spots with lots of tall weeds.

Bug preparations essential: Seasonal insect activity requires planning. A visitor to Belle Isle State Park Campground warns, "We had super mutant mosquitoes and horse flies. They were resistant to citronella candles, essential oils, and bug spray with 40% deet. We only found relief in the water."
Limited grocery options: Shopping for supplies requires advance planning. A Point Lookout State Park visitor shared, "No internet access at the campsite... It's a complete dead spot for Verizon anyway. Not good if you're working while camping."

Seasonal occupancy patterns: Some campgrounds have significant numbers of seasonal residents. At Rainbow Acres Campground, "This campground is about 3/4 year rounders. People who rent a campsite and build porches and party sites up and come visit on the weekend or stay the summer," which affects the overall camping experience.
