American Heritage RV Park near Williamsburg offers 160 full hookup sites with both 30- and 50-amp service available year-round. The park features primarily pull-through sites with concrete pads and patios, accommodating larger RVs with ample space for towed vehicles. "Our site was very nice site #10, a leveled concrete site with room to park our towed vehicle while still attached to our Motor Home," noted one visitor. Thousand Trails Williamsburg provides full hookup sites with water, sewer, and electric connections, though the interior roads can be narrow for larger rigs. Several miles north, Bethpage Camp-Resort in Urbanna caters to big rigs with spacious sites open seasonally from April through mid-November.
Most Williamsburg area RV parks provide sanitary dump stations, trash service, and potable water connections. Cellular coverage varies throughout the region, with stronger signals closer to Williamsburg proper and more limited service in outlying areas. Full hookup sites with 50-amp service are in higher demand during peak summer months and fall foliage season, making advance reservations essential, particularly for weekend stays. According to one visitor, "The campground wasn't too loud, people were respectful and all the fellow campers were very friendly." Pet policies generally allow dogs with standard leash requirements, though breed restrictions may apply at some parks. Proximity to Colonial Williamsburg attractions makes these parks popular bases for exploring the historic triangle region.

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.
Jeremy R.GuideNewport News Park
Beautiful scenery
Our stay is going to be the 21 days that are allowed. In that time, I have been on many nature walks with my dog. Very enjoyable, very well maintained. The only thing I did not like is the bathrooms. I have seen a cleaning lady come through, but I think it is primarily for the sinks and toilets. The shower curtains are moldy, lots of spiders. The shower pressure and temp are great. All in all, it is affordable and very peaceful.

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
Williamsburg's coastal plain location offers mild temperatures throughout most of the year with average summer highs in the mid-80s. The area sits at a relatively flat elevation of 80 feet above sea level, making it accessible for RV camping with minimal mountain driving. Many campgrounds in the region provide water activities during summer months when humidity levels can reach 80%.
What to do
Historic exploration near camp: Thousand Trails Williamsburg puts you minutes from Colonial Williamsburg. "Great camp ground with a lot of interesting sites to visit in the area," notes camper Daryl L., making it an ideal base for exploring the historic triangle area.
Fishing opportunities: Waterfront sites at Grey's Point Camp provide access to the Rappahannock River. Christopher T. mentions, "Fishing didn't get us much but not the campgrounds fault! Higher Water temps and jellyfish when we were there most likely kept them away." Fishing is more productive during spring and fall when water temperatures are cooler.
Military history: Military Park Cheatham Annex is situated between Williamsburg and Yorktown, offering access to several historic sites. According to Janet R., it's "located right on the York River between Williamsburg and Yorktown. It is immediately adjacent to the Colonial Parkway for easy access to historic Jamestown as well, making for a great base for exploring the historic sites and state and national parks of the area."
What campers like
Water activities: The Rappahannock River location at Grey's Point Camp offers multiple water recreation options. Camper Beverly T. appreciated that even during challenging weather: "We stayed here Sept 2020 during tropical storm and covid, lol. Was a great safe location in port of storm, the sites mostly drained well."
Crabbing opportunities: Thousand Trails Chesapeake Bay features a dedicated crabbing pier. "We had never been crabbing and this beautiful rv park has its own crabbing pier. There is boating, hiking, watching wild life and so many pretty birds," shares Mike T. The best crabbing occurs from April through October when water temperatures are warmer.
Recreation amenities: Campers at American Heritage RV Park enjoy numerous on-site activities. Lindsey B. notes, "If you're looking for things to do, there is an arcade for the kids near the entrance and some mini golf." Other campgrounds offer water parks, playgrounds, and walking trails for additional recreation options.
What you should know
Seasonal challenges: The Williamsburg area experiences high humidity in summer months. At Thousand Trails Williamsburg, camper Brenda L. warns, "We arrived on opening day (March 19, 2021) for the season. They had unfortunately been a victim of the rain and the main road to the campground had washed out. Alternative routes were set up to enter and exit. I understand from reading other reviews that they can routinely have problems when it rains."
Site assignments: Many campgrounds don't pre-assign specific sites. At American Heritage RV Park, campers select upon arrival. This can present challenges for groups as one reviewer noted difficulty when trying to camp together.
Campground amenities vary widely: Some campgrounds offer extensive amenities while others provide basics. At The Colonies RV and Travel Park, James A. mentions, "The campground is awesome. Beach is a short walk, but what they don't tell you is that there's a club on the beach. So be warned- it's a bit noisy." Research each location's specific offerings before booking.
Tips for camping with families
Water features for kids: Bethpage Camp-Resort offers multiple water attractions. Our Greight Escape notes, "We love this place! It has everything you need and more!! Pros - water park - amazing, splash pad - fun for small children, small beach, kayaking available." Many families visit during July and August when school is out.
Playground access: When camping with children, proximity to play areas matters. Happy_champers at Bethpage Camp-Resort appreciates the "multiple kids playgrounds" while Christen C. adds, "The playgrounds are large and fun for the younger kids. With all paved streets the campground is perfect for bike riding."
Activity scheduling: Families should check event calendars when booking. Mitchell B. at Thousand Trails Williamsburg mentions, "Many activities scheduled on the weekends. Lots of families camping." These organized activities typically run from Memorial Day through Labor Day with reduced schedules in shoulder seasons.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: At American Heritage RV Park, campers report varying experiences with site quality. Anders S. notes, "Nice concrete pad sites with full hookup and shaded by tall pine trees (some not)." For better shade, request sites in older sections of the campground where trees have matured.
Road navigation: Several campgrounds have narrow interior roads that can challenge larger rigs. One reviewer at American Heritage RV Park observed another camper with a large rig struggling to maneuver, ultimately "hitting a water faucet across the road, leaving the park without water for over two hours." Arrive during daylight hours for easier navigation.
Utility reliability: Water and electrical service can be inconsistent at some locations. At The Colonies RV and Travel Park, campers appreciate the reliability of utilities. Tim W. mentions, "Site had everything you need." Others note challenges with water pressure during peak usage times at other campgrounds.
