Norge, Virginia and surrounding areas feature several established campgrounds with various accommodation options, including cabins. Most campgrounds in the region are full-service facilities with amenities like electricity, water hookups, and sewer connections. Williamsburg KOA, American Heritage RV Park, and Thousand Trails Williamsburg provide cabin camping within 5-10 miles of Norge. Chickahominy Riverfront Park and Chippokes State Park Campground also offer cabin options slightly further away, with the latter providing a more natural setting along the James River.
Campgrounds in the area typically operate seasonally, with most open from March through December, though several remain open year-round. "We stayed a weekend in early spring on a premium site. The site was perfectly level, clean and well maintained," noted one visitor to American Heritage RV Park. Weather considerations are important when planning a cabin stay, as reviews indicate occasional flooding issues during heavy rain periods. Most cabins require advance reservations, particularly during peak summer months and holiday weekends. Cellular coverage is generally good throughout the region, making it convenient for those needing to stay connected.
Cabin accommodations range from rustic to well-appointed options with varying amenities. Campers consistently highlight the convenience of using these campgrounds as a base for exploring nearby attractions including Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown. A visitor remarked, "This park was very convenient to Williamsburg, Richmond, and Virginia Beach. The staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating." Family-friendly amenities are prevalent at most campgrounds, with swimming pools, playgrounds, and scheduled activities available during peak season. While sites can be relatively close together at some parks, most provide adequate privacy and shade from mature trees. The proximity to historical attractions makes these cabin camping options particularly popular with families looking for educational vacation opportunities.

"The campground is very close to all Williamsburg activities. A great walking trail was right down the road."

This is a typical Sun Resort property with tons of amenities and activities which is great for families. There are four fishing piers, miniature golf, basketball court, baseball diamond, five pools (including one that is adult only), a large dog park, and much, much more. There are a couple of “beach” areas but there are lots of rocks so you might want to wear water shoes. We visited in May and the park was just starting to open for the summer so the pools were not open and there were not many scheduled activities. There is a large camp store and café onsite which is convenient if you don’t want to leave the property.
We booked a 50A full hook-up site (621) which was one row back from being on the water. The front row (with unobstructed water views) is about $50 more per night so I checked online to see which sites were unoccupied and booked one behind them in the second row. Luckily, no one booked a site in front of us during our stay and we had great views, especially of the sunsets. Our site had a great view of the bay since there was no camper in front of us. The site was a pull thru plenty long enough for our car and RV and level and we had a nice shade tree on our patio side. We did have a clear view to the sky with our Dish satellite and got a sufficient amount of over-the-air tv channels. Most of the sites are sandy/gravel and we didn’t have any trouble sinking as the substrate was hard packed. There are a couple of ponds which are pretty, but they attract geese and there was goose poop everywhere.
Honestly, we really liked the surrounding area but, to us, the nightly price of $71 is pretty steep (and that is with a 25% discount-it's normally over $100), especially since we don’t use any of the amenities. Sun does offer specials based on length of stay and offers discounts to military and first responders so check their special offers section before booking. We loved watching the large ships in the Chesapeake and looked on vesselfinder.com to see what they were and where they were going.
Nearby is Eastern Shore of VA National Wildlife Refuge which has a couple of nice trails and The Barrier Island Center is very interesting with exhibits and short films. Downtown Cape Charles is super cute with nice shops and eateries. Cape Charles Brewing Company has delicious fish and chips, Mason Avenue Bakery is absolutely delicious, and we recommend the pizza at Deadrise Italian Kitchen.
Beautiful campground with riverfront tent spaces as well as RV spaces. Pool looked nice and a lovely quiet beach was very family friendly as well
I stayed in campsite C21! It was clean, quiet, and spacious! The bathrooms were clean and the showers were hot! So much to do from hiking to beaching to fishing! Dog friendly too!
Stayed here Memorial Day weekend 2025. We had a water electric site for our tent and had a great time.
The first day we checked out the Aquatic Recreation Center, admission was included for each member of our party. The kiddos had so much fun with the splash park, that it took everything to drag them away from it.
There is a trail from the campground to the aquatic center, but with our small kids it was easier to drive. There is plenty of parking.
The next day we took to the lake in a peddle boat. The lilly pads were blooming and it was so nice. You can also rent paddle boards, kayaks and canoes. Easy access if you have your own boards or kayaks.
Lots of trails to explore, and be mindful some trails have both bikes and people.
The kids had a good time and it was nice to just do loops of the campground. The playground in the campground was under construction so we look forward to going back to check it out.
No laundry area, no shower house and no restroom. All there but none work. Very poor drainage. Wet and muddy always. Water pressure was a medium drip. Do not recommend
Here for work and have stayed through the turnover to new ownership. Clean, well maintained, friendly staff and neighbors plus close to everything I need!
Great spot for my camper van,plenty privacy,& restrooms & showers nearby,they were very clean!!
Very well kept campground. Clean bathrooms Clean camp sites Cell Verizon and att worked well. Was able to zoom for work and watch Netflix at night. Excellent trails all through the park. Fast rolling gravel trails for gravel bikes and some more technical trails for mountain biking.
