Newport News Park

The park is surprisingly wooded with pretty good spacing between the sites. The park was a great mix of nature in middle of civilization. We enjoyed our outings to Jamestown and the American Revolution Museum.

We enjoyed our stay but please note:

• bring many leveling blocks
• there is a lot of road noise at the sites along the water; the noise is less of a problem towards the center of campground
• the fire pits are not build up so you can grill unless you have self supporting/standing grill to place over the fire.

We enjoyed our stay.

When I asked at reservation they said it is full hookup but no indivial sewer here.

This site does not care about package.

Amazon showed my package was delivered at 6:18pm but office said no package around 6:40pm. Next morning i called but said no package within a few seconds. I thought they even did not look up. I went down to office and they found it.

In between I called hq office around 10am April 28 2023. Asked whether my package was there and she said instantly no package. Asked her name, she gave me my last name initial which fun of me. Asked again but refused give her name.

Anyway office said this site does not accept campers' package. I didn't know until I arrive here.

This is our neighborhood campground that we love to visit from time to time to get out of the suburbs and just enjoy nature. We always seem to come when it rains but we don’t mind at all.

Nice campsites. Be careful of level if in an RV.

We made last minute reservations and arrived after the office was closed. Upon arrival the park ranger opened the office and checked us in. The facilities are well maintained and the sites along the reservoir are very nice. Make sure you have leveling chalks as some of the sites are to uneven for auto leveling to work. We had a 32’ class c rig and had no problems other than the auto leveling not working which caused us to move sites 3 times and our water hose was to short. You need at least a 25’ hose.

Travel safe

Camping here over Thanksgiving in site B55. A bit of a long walk to the bathroom, as we need to walk around the entire loop to get to it. Gorgeous,  spacious sites with electric and water at each site. Some sites back up to the St. James River.  Some road noise at night and an occasional train, but not enough to disturb our sleep.  Hot, clean showers in the bathhouses and excellent location near Jamestown Settlement,  Williamsburg, and Yorktown.

Peaceful park filled with plenty of tall trees to stay cool during the summer months. Stayed 21 days (max limit) in June and temps at our site (B46) averaged about 5-10 degrees cooler than out side the park. Fairly decent sized spots, some are hit or miss when it comes to bare dirt, grass, mossyness, leaf/pine covered grounds. Same with levelness of sites for rvs. Miles of trailes and plenty of wildlife with a few historical sites. AT&T currently at full bars 4g.

We love it here. Their park is beautiful. The parking pass are well maintained and there’s water and electric at every spot in the loop we were on.

Lots of tree canopy in this campground/park along a pretty lake. Nice bike and walking trails, and an archery range. Plus a really nice laundry on site. Con: the showers are gross

Clean, safe & filled with families. Lots of space assigned to each site. No septic per site but convenient dumping station. Large, spacious park with trails & other activities.

Nice walking trails for younger kids and easy access from both sides or town me an my son come here all the time

If you like a campground with alot of trees and water, this is a good place. Camped with our travel trailer so did not use or visit the restrooms or showers. Numerous great sites to see within an hours drive.

We were pleasantly surprised how nice this campground is. It's nice and wooded and very pretty! We had to get an electric site even though we are tent campers but there weren't too many RV's around. But I have to say this campground is literally crawling with ticks. They were everywhere, all over the tent, chairs, and all our other equipment. I've never seen so many in my life. So be prepared!

Great hiking here! And a fabulous playground for the kids!

This campground is pretty nice, especially if you’re in an RV. No full hook ups, but there are many level spots and it makes it easy to go to the dump station that’s on site. There’s no swimming and the rental bikes are terrible, but the park itself is nice to walk and there are really lovely trails as well. The bathroom was horrendous and you cant use the potty unless you’re willing to straddle the toilet to shit the door. Nice camp store and the boat rentals are nice. It was sad to see no one picked up sites (many had trash left everywhere) and it was very frustrating to see people climbing all over the protected sites. Calling to let the rangers know did nothing. Overall nice, but extended stays may not be much fun for tweens/ teens.

Not very many secluded sights, in the middle of a very busy area of the city of Newport News.

Have stayed here several times, it's nice & woody, some lake front sites, most have water & electric. It boasts a 5 mile hike & bike trail. If you're a history buff, the campground itself was built on top of a Civil War Battlefield site (https://www.mycivilwar.com/battles/620416d.html), large playground area central to most of the five loops. Bath houses were a little dated, a full retrofit is over due.

this location has plenty of all types of sites and has a good amount of things to do within the park itself from playgrounds to nature walks to boating and fishing. The ranger and welcome stations have plenty of local information if you run out of things to do in the park.
