Best RV Parks & Resorts near Townsend, VA

611 Reviews

Multiple RV parks accommodate motorhome travelers in the Virginia Beach and Williamsburg areas. American Heritage RV Park offers 138 full hookup sites with 80 pull-through spaces featuring 30-50 amp service, concrete pads, and patios. The Colonies RV and Travel Park provides 22 sites with one pull-through and 13 full hookups near historic Fort Monroe, while Thousand Trails Chesapeake Bay accommodates big rigs with electric, water, and sewer connections. Virginia Beach KOA features premium paved sites with concrete pads and standard gravel pull-through sites. "All of the spaces have concrete pads, full hook-ups, and cable TV. The staff was very friendly and helpful."

Across the region, most RV parks remain open year-round, though some like Bethpage Camp-Resort operate seasonally from April through mid-November. Dump stations are available at most locations, with Newport News Park offering this service despite having no sewer hookups at individual sites. Cell coverage varies by location, with AT&T service ranging from 2-3 bars at Newport News Park to stronger signals at oceanfront properties. Navigation to military campgrounds may require security clearance, while civilian parks typically offer easier access from major highways. According to one visitor, "Sites are a bit close together but I have seen worse," which applies to many commercial RV parks in this popular tourist region.

    Fort Eustis Recreation Area

    Excellent Bargain

    Reservations: 757-878-2610 or 2565

    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.

    Newport News Park

    Quiet, spacious and heavily wooded sites

    We stayed at site D100 for 10 days. The sites are quiet, very spacious, nicely spaced, some surprisingly so, but many are deceptively unlevel, particularly on the outside of the loops, and are heavily wooded. Some loops are primitive, some have only 20A service and some have 30A service and water hookup. There are no sewer hookups, but there is a dump station. There are a lot of low hanging branches on the roads through the park and it is showing some signs of age. There is some road noise from I 64, but not too bad if you stay deeper into the park and away from the lake. AT&T had 2 bars and 6 MB/s w/o a booster, 3 bars and 8 MB/s with it. There is no satellite coverage due to the heavy tree canopy. OTA TV was descent using an external omni antenna. There is no WiFi. We had the place pretty much to ourselves during the week, but the weekend did get busy. There is a very nice network of trails, most if not all were leashed dog friendly. The park is a civil war historic site and is close to a lot of other historic places.
