Colonial Pines Campground At Williamsburg Christian Retreat Center
About
WCRC is a non-profit Christian retreat center and overnight Christian summer camp perfect for youth groups, church retreats, small groups, family reunions, and other gatherings in Toano, Virginia. WCRC welcomes church groups, summer day camps, and couples marriage retreats to our facility for fun, team building, and a place to explore. Williamsburg Christian Retreat Center provides a place for the Holy Spirit to work in the lives of kids and adults through camping and retreats.
In the early 1980s, members of the area Mennonite churches became concerned with the spiritual needs of youth. They found that young people were often making their professions of faith at church camps, so they decided to build a camp facility in the Tidewater area of Virginia that would offer opportunities for young people to begin a relationship with Jesus Christ and grow in their walk with God.
WCRC offers modern comfortable lodging, great food, and fun activities for day trips and overnight retreats. WCRC also has dedicated conference areas for groups needing their own space. Choose from group activities including camping, outdoor swimming, ropes courses, disc golf, an adventure sports center, and more.
In addition to our wonderful facilities, WCRC also offers outdoor activity organizers to help you plan your perfect retreat. From guest speakers and activities to lodging and food, we will help you plan out every aspect of your trip.

I will admit I was a little hesitant about coming to an RV park located within a Christian Retreat Center. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but we came anyway because the price through the Passport America discount was right ($20/night for a FHU site with the discount on off-season rates, so, $40 without the discount). I was happy we came, the office staff person was so friendly and so nice and welcoming, and the campground was just great. There’s plenty of activities here- there’s a playground, a gaga ball pit, basketball court, frisbee golf course, pool, soccer field, baseball field, and some really nice walking trails in the woods (some of these might be restricted to use by retreat guests, not sure). Some basic snacks and knick knacks and clothing available for sale in the office.
There’s laundry here, but the set up was a little awkward- there’s one washer/ dryer in the hallway of the lodge, which is a hotel-like building. It’s kind of a far walk from the campground, and there’s no place to hang out and wait for your laundry. It’s $5 for a load (wash& dry) and you can pay by credit card in the office or drop $5 in the box by the machines. Firewood available for sale here for $5, pay by venmo, at the office, or in the honor box. No alcohol allowed in the park.
Cell service for Verizon and ATT was pretty decent, and they have great free wifi. Showers are good and clean and free, continuous water running (no button to push).
