Husband found us spot #9 @anvilcampground which he read on the reviews was an ideal spot because of the ease of pulling up and then backing straight in.After we checked in we went to our spot (warning there are train tracks right behind this spot) and as we had just finished unhitching the camper a fellow camper informed us that there was no water hookup where we were (even though we were told there was water when it was booked.????‍♀️)Husband went to the office and came back with the bad news/good news report being that we had to re-hitch the camper and move to a new spot BUT this one had full hookups and we weren’t going to be charged extra!Upon arrival to spot #46 we had a concrete pad with a picnic table, bench swing with cup holders and a fire pit! (We later found out this is the best spot in the park????). We were losing daylight so we worked as fast as we could to get settled in for the night.So our review of Anvil Campground was that it’s a great site with awesome customer service. They had a general store, doggie park, playgrounds and a pool. It was the perfect place for newbies like us. It’s in the heart of Williamsburg so you’re close to everything. The only down side is that you are right next to a railroad and can hear (and sometimes feel) the freight trains coming through so bring your earplugs!

  • Excellent stay for visiting Williamsburg!

It is centrally located to many attractions and has great amenities. Good WIFI and cable, although the cable was a bit fuzzy it may have been the cheap TVs in our rig. We weren't there to watch TV, anyway. This is a small campground with a lot of sites, so they are kind of small and tight. We opted to pay extra for a premium patio site and were not disappointed. Customer service was beyond reproach, staff was very helpful with all our needs. Granted, you will find this campground a bit noisy as there is a railroad track that runs right beside the park on one side and a road on the other side.

  • Overpriced for what you get.

The first row of sites are only about 50 feet away from the tracks, we were in the second row of sites and we still vibrated when the trains pass by. The sites are small, there is no hot water in the laundry room, the WiFi doesn’t work for streaming on the tv (due to the required pop up screen for password entry) and we could do without the several speed bumps. But the staff is friendly and it’s close to a lot of activities (which is why we give it a second star). Even paying half price rate through Passport America (which they accept only Mon-Thur) it’s still overpriced. I would probably give it four stars if their nightly rate was $45 not $90 (and that’s for the “cheaper” spots).

    Peaceful, activities for kids, hiking area across the road (be mindful of ticks!), Jamestown is close by along with Busch Gardens. Smaller campground in general and sites are tight but we enjoyed our weekend away!

  • Nice park with many activities

It is still out a bit, so you won't want to walk or bike (highway) but you can catch a bus directly in front of the campground or just take a 5-10 minute drive. The park owners have worked hard to fit as many amenities as possible into the limited space they have. There are several small fenced dog areas, two playgrounds, a small pool, a game room, a half court basketball pad, and horseshoes. Plus corn-hole to borrow and take back to your site. There is also a nice paved hiking/biking trail about 100 yards from the park. I found the park to be older but exceptionally well maintained. Everything had a fresh coat of paint and the staff worked very hard to keep everything looking nice. This is a commercial park, so as expected, you will be close to your neighbors. However, I found the allocated space to be above average and didn't have any issues. There are a handful of longer-term residents though you may not know it because of how well kept those lots were. Most of the campers where short term visitors to Williamsburg. The one strange feature of the sites are that the utilities are actually located on your neighbors site. It's right against the lot line so no access issues, but since there are full hookups, you may have your neighbor's waste hose in your living space. Hopefully you have a considerate neighbor who hooks up to dump and then puts the stinky slinky back into storage. And yes, it can be noisy with the train tracks on one side and the highway on the other. We learned to laugh it off, but if you are extremely sensitive to noise, this may not be the park for you.

We have a small trailer so we fit in a tent space. We were very close to the rr tracks but bothered my wife more than me. All sites were super super close. The owners were very nice and the bath house was very clean and modern. It is very convenient to Historic Williamsburg. I think I would choose to maybe find a place a little further out with more room. Also great WiFi.

    What sells this campground is the proximity to Williamsburg and Jamestown. It does have some nice amenities as well, such as a small pool, fun playground, dog parks and very nice bathrooms. Sites are right on top of each other and the train tracks are adjacent. Very nice staff, they had coffee each morning!

  • Easy bus ride into Williamsburg, clean park

    Small but well kept park, located between a major road and the train tracks. Great choice if you're headed into colonial Williamsburg or Busch Gardens. Sites are cozy, but very well maintained and marked.
