Camping in high winds
This 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.

Nice amenities
Enjoying this campground. Close to all the attractions. Incredible staff, super friendly. Pool and game room are wonderful.
Diane R.TravelerMachicomoco State Park Campground
Beautifully Quiet
Note 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.

Machicomoco State Park Campground
Nice Campground
The 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.

American Heritage RV Park
Friendly, Convenient to Colonial Sites
We 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.

Davis Lakes Resort
The Little Canping Gem of Suffolk
We stumbled across Davis Lakes Campground last year when we brought our camper down to visit our son and grandchildren. Originally, we planned to stay closer to Virginia Beach, but after finding Davis Lakes, we decided to give it a try. We were lucky enough to get site F28 right on the lake, and we enjoyed it so much that we came back this year—and even booked the exact same site.
After reading some of the other reviews, I wanted to share our experience because it was very different. Yes, there are some rules regarding dogs at the beach, but they never interfered with our stay. We enjoyed walking our dogs every morning around the campground and lakes, and it was a wonderful way to start each day.
The beach itself was clean, had plenty of nice chairs, and the AquaGlide was an absolute blast. We spent 5–6 hours a day swimming, and surprisingly, the beach never felt crowded.
One thing that really stood out was how fair the prices were. The campground store was stocked with essentials, and unlike many campgrounds, the prices were very reasonable. If you forgot a loaf of bread or wanted to grab a pool float, you didn’t feel like you were being gouged. They also have a cute snack shop, a spacious game room, and an impressive movie selection, making it a great place to spend a rainy afternoon.
The campground itself was clean and very well maintained. Although many of the sites are seasonal, they were neat, well cared for, and nothing like some seasonal campgrounds where sites become cluttered or run down. It was obvious that both the staff and the campers take pride in the campground.
The nightly rates were very reasonable, and while there is a visitor fee, we found it to be completely fair considering the amenities. We had an amazing time with our son and his family, and the campground played a big part in making those memories.
Davis Lakes isn’t a luxury resort, and that’s part of its charm. Its focus is on beautiful lakes, swimming, friendly service, and providing a relaxing camping experience. It reminded me of the kind of campgrounds I grew up enjoying—simple, welcoming, and centered around making great memories.
We’ll absolutely be back. If we lived closer, I’d seriously consider getting a seasonal site myself. In fact, my son is even talking about buying a camper just so he can keep it nearby and enjoy Davis Lakes more often. Many of the employees and seasonal campers are locals who return year after year, and I think that says everything you need to know about this place.

Guide to Williamsburg
Cabin rentals around Williamsburg provide convenient options for visitors exploring Virginia's historic triangle. Situated in the coastal plain region of Virginia, cabins serve as home bases for accessing the area's blend of Colonial-era sites and outdoor recreation. Average summer temperatures reach into the high 80s with significant humidity, making climate-controlled cabin accommodations particularly appealing from June through August.
What to do
Explore historic farms: Chippokes State Park Campground offers cabin accommodations plus access to a working farm. "This hidden gem is just a short distance from Williamsburg but yet so remote! The still working farm and homes are a treasure of how life and farms ran back in the day and how they can survive into the future," notes Rose H.
Kayak the waterways: The region's rivers provide excellent paddling opportunities near many cabin rentals. "Definitely recommend following the river inland and kayaking through the marshland," suggests Christina at Chippokes State Park Campground. Chickahominy Riverfront Park cabins offer direct water access with one visitor noting, "Could take kayaks straight into the water from our site."
Bike the Capital Trail: Several cabin locations offer access to this paved path. "About as close as you can get to the capital trail," explains Samantha G. about the Chickahominy Riverfront Park cabins. The trail connects Williamsburg to Richmond with 52 miles of paved path suitable for all skill levels.
What campers like
Train views: The Anvil Campground features unique proximity to active rail lines, which some cabin guests particularly enjoy. "The cabin we stayed in was about 15 feet from the tracks. Not really a complaint from us since the kids thought it was awesome," writes Bridget H. about the Anvil Campground log cabins.
Military history: Fort Eustis Recreation Area provides cabin rentals with military history nearby. "BTW 'GREAT' Military Transportation Museum. The commissary is fantastic, didn't go to the PX," recommends a visitor about the cabin area's adjacent attractions.
Pool amenities: Many families appreciate swimming options near cabin accommodations. American Heritage RV Park cabins include pool access, with a visitor noting the "great pool and convenient to travel to several activities incl Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown, Va Beach and more," and that the park offers "nice concrete pad sites with full hookup and shaded by tall pine trees."
What you should know
Reservation timing: Peak season cabin availability becomes limited months in advance. Trina C. explains that Chippokes State Park Campground allows reservations "12 months out, full payment required. 90 day maximum stay."
Ferry access: Some cabin locations offer unique transportation options. "About 5 miles away is the ferry to Williamsburg...it's free and usually a highlight of the trip for the kids!" writes Philip S. about accessing attractions from Chippokes State Park cabins.
Varying amenities: Cabin facilities differ substantially between locations. One visitor to Thousand Trails Williamsburg noted their cabins include "free popcorn, coffee and accessible microwave everyday!" while another mentioned Kings Creek cabins feature "concrete pads on all of the sites" with "full hookups including cable!"
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Select cabin locations based on proximity to play areas. "The kids were able to ride around the park (it is small) and park is within sight," notes Samantha G. about Chickahominy Riverfront Park, adding that "there is a pool and splash pad as well as boating ramp and fishing docks."
Activity options: Look for cabins with planned programs. "Many activities scheduled on the weekends. Lots of families camping. Indoor and outdoor pools. Decent spacing between sites," mentions Mitchell B. about the Thousand Trails Williamsburg cabin area.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Cabin locations offer nature encounters. "We saw a fat raccoon, daring squirrels, a turtle, and vultures. There are gorgeous, HARMLESS, garden spiders that are shockingly large and bright yellow," reports Katie B. about the natural inhabitants near Chickahominy Riverfront Park.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Some cabin areas offer better spacing than others. "The sites are close but we never felt like you are on top of your neighbor," observes Bryan S. about cabin and RV sites at Anvil Campground, while also noting that "the train that passes by is great for kids and you barely notice it."
Internet connectivity: WiFi quality varies by location. Anders S. notes that American Heritage RV Park's cabins include "pretty good wifi internet. Usually its slow, but here it works!" while others report spotty service elsewhere.
Bathroom facilities: Consider cabin bathroom access when booking. One visitor to Kings Creek observed, "The bathhouse and laundry facility is new, clean, and very nice," making it suitable for cabins without private facilities, while another reported that Williamsburg Campground's facilities were "clean, up-to-date" with a "large laundry room."
