5 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Williamsburg Campground and American Heritage RV Park accommodate pets across their 300 and 160 sites respectively, each offering full hookups with electric, water, and sewer connections. Both parks provide concrete pads for RVs, ensuring level setups for campers traveling with animals. Pets must remain leashed when outside RVs or cabins. The fenced dog run at American Heritage RV Park gives dogs space to exercise off-leash, while walking trails throughout both properties offer additional exercise opportunities. Cabins accepting pets are available at both campgrounds, though pet fees may apply. The campground store stocks basic pet supplies including waste bags. Picnic tables at each site give pet owners comfortable outdoor seating while monitoring their animals.
Nearby York River State Park provides additional dog-friendly hiking opportunities with multiple nature trails just 4 miles from American Heritage RV Park. The park requires dogs to remain on leashes no longer than 6 feet. Chickahominy Riverfront Park allows pets at their cabin and RV sites with water access for dogs that enjoy swimming. During summer months, owners should exercise pets during cooler morning hours as concrete pads can become hot enough to burn paw pads. Both Williamsburg and American Heritage campgrounds maintain clean grounds with regular trash pickup, important for maintaining a pet-friendly environment. All parks require proof of current rabies vaccination, and local veterinary services are available within 15 minutes of each campground.

TravelerOur first time with our new camper. Everyone was very friendly. Amazing views! We had a tight spot, so our hosts helped us get in with their tractor. When we got back the next day we found a bottle of champagne to celebrate our maiden voyage. Very nice rec room, fishing pier. There is also a beach and playground, corn hole field, and an outdoor Pavillion. Lovely place !
TravelerWe booked online, everything was ready when we got here for a super easy check in process. The grounds person makes their rounds a couple times a day and keeping the grounds tidy. Very peaceful experience so far! Paid $43/night for 25 foot Motorhome. Theres a dump site and water fill station. Our site has water and electric, picnic table, fire ring, light hanging pole, and is very spacious. All the spots have a fair amount of privacy but are visible to neighbors.
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.
GuideThere are not a lot of spaces available but still a decent amount. They spread out amongst several roads leading down to the water. The trees surrounding are gorgeous. There is a shooting range nearby but we didn’t mind the sound.
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
ScoutThis campground was very enjoyable. I spent a lot of time at the fishing pier, learning to ID birds I had never identified before. Brown pelicans were everywhere near the sunken ships. I also talked to the Hawkwatch people for a bit.
My campsite was far enough from the bathroom I couldn't hear the door slam, but since I was the only one in the F loop, that wouldn't have mattered. Since the loop was so empty, it was an absolute pleasure.
Had the campground been full, I would have felt too close to the people in tents in the sites next to me.
One great thing was that there weren't tent pads so we didn't have to worry about how to fit two tents on to one tent pad.
GuideEnjoying this campground. Close to all the attractions. Incredible staff, super friendly. Pool and game room are wonderful.
ScoutPocahontas Park is for those who love the outdoors. they provide 30 and 50 amp hook up, Water hook ups very nice size campsite open and private.
