    Fort Eustis Recreation Area

    Excellent Bargain

    Season: year round 

    Reservations: 757-878-2610 or 2565 

    Pets: Leashed 

    Sites: 9 $20.00 with w/e/s 

    Cabins: 5 $75.00 daily 

    Picnic table, grill, playground, bowling, paintball, tennis, propane, water, electric, trash, laundry, showers, fishing 

    It was as if they have two sections in the campground. One section seems to have long term and then the section where the 9 sites are is nice and open with many mature trees. There is nice separation between sites. I loved the area but I am a country girl at heart. Nice to be in the heart of the military. BTW"GREAT" Military Transportation Museum. The commissary is fantastic, didn't go to the PX.

    The Colonies RV and Travel Park

    Historic

    Sites: 22 with 1 pull thru 13 full hookups 12 Tent sites 

    Electric: 30-50 amp 

    This is a private campground and you do not have to be military to stay. It really is in a great location.

    Beach, dump, firewood, showers, fire pit, store, ice picnic table, playground, toilets, concrete pads, horseshoes, trash. A wonderful spot for a campground on the Historic Fort Monroe. There is no gate to have to pass through to reach the campground. It is located on the far end and on a beautiful flat grassy area with beautiful mature trees. Well maintained and very quiet. While there you must check out the Fort Monroe Casement Museum. You have water on two sides with excellent walking area.

    American Heritage RV Park

    Good location with lots to do within an hour's drive

    Usually when we go out with our trailer, the campground is basically the "destination." In this case, the campground was a place to park our "mobile motel room" so we could explore the area and do a day trip to the beach. 

    This was our first time staying where full hookups were standard, and we had a pull-through site on a level concrete pad. A picnic table was provided, and a metal "fire pit" will be delivered to your site if requested. 

    There was decent space between the sites, though of course not like what you find at a state park! But speaking of which, American Heritage RV Park is just 4 miles from York River State Park. After getting set up, we went there and we highly recommend it for nature lovers. 

    The campground is also close to Colonial Williamsburg, and a little over an hour away (depending on traffic) from Virginia Beach and First Landing State Park. 

    The bathrooms were clean, showers had hot water, and the campground was very quiet. A train comes through the area a couple of times a day (and night), but we didn't find that to be a problem. 

    It's close to I-64 (easy on/off) and easy to find, though the actual road INTO the campground is pretty narrow. 

    We chose to stay here instead of one of the campgrounds in VA Beach just because traffic in and around VA Beach is crazy. Seriously. I felt much better about just driving there with my car instead of towing the trailer through that mess. 

    We didn't check out the pool, but it seemed nice and we saw people swimming. Some folks we met said they'd been at the campground a week. 

    Be sure to ask about AARP, Good Sam, AAA, or other memberships you have because they'll give a 10% discount when you check in. We had good cell service on AT&T and Sprint networks.

    While it was the most expensive place we've stayed so far, compared to an oceanfront motel room at VA Beach during peak season, it was a very good deal. We'll probably stay here again in the future.

    More about this trip (and all we did in 2 days!!) is on my blog:

    Anvil Campground

    Not huge in size, but great!

    A little on the smaller side, but the staff are super helpful and friendly. We stayed in one of the premium sites. Compacted gravel, wide, full hookups, private swing, fire ring and ADA picnic table, plus privacy fences between patio areas. Very clean grounds and they do little things for the kids each night. Craft night, ice cream delivery via golf cart, etc. Will stay there again on our return to Williamsburg.
