Anvil Campground is a fun and well kept campground in historic Williamsburg. It is the best campground around and you will not be dissapointed by the friendly staff and amenities found. The bathrooms are also nicer than standard. Enjoy your stay,!

This campground has been the absolute best yet, my kids and I love the train it’s our favorite part, beyond clean and the staff and owners are so beyond friendly always greeting with smiles! The arcade I didn’t go into for awhile bcs most the times in campgrounds they aren’t as “fun” but I walked in and there is endless games and activities me my husband and kids loved it! Yes there is noise from the train but we love it and it’s actually very peaceful and quiet around here very safe feeling and at home like. I could go on and on but I’ll leave it with this it’s a very clean family friendly campsite and with its location is just the best! If your a family with children this is the campsite to be in it will not disappoint!❤️🚂

Amazing! Anvil campground is absolutely amazing. Its in the best place possible ( yes there is a fire station down the road, I hope they get there in time ). They are next to a train track! TRAINS! ( I personally love trains! Must be the kid in me). Everything is here, pool, game room, laundry facilities, and country store. The family who run this awesome place are just awesome. I normally camp in a camper but this time I reserved a cabin, absolutely love it! If you are a single traveler (THIS IS A SAFE PLACE!) This is my go to place to camp, hopefully I will be a (regular) status soon. Anvil campground is Amazing!

I was very disappointed with our stay at Anvil Campground. The campsites are extremely small, and nearly all of them are stone or asphalt, except for the so-called “tent” sites. Even those barely have enough grass to fit a six-person tent. Some sites have fire rings placed within about a foot of the fence separating campsites, which feels cramped and unsafe. The campground map is very misleading and not even close to being to scale. It gives the impression that there are green spaces, but in reality there’s a large, empty area in the middle of the park that feels more like a missing house lot than usable campground space. One of the two dog parks is laughably small—about 8 feet by 8 feet, minus the entry gate—making it essentially useless. Noise was a constant issue. A train passes the campground several times during the day and multiple times every night, and most sites are within roughly 50 feet of the tracks. The tent sites are the closest, making sleep very difficult. On top of that, every night we were there, a truck came in around 9 p.m. and idled its diesel engine all night long. There were also ongoing issues with management and upkeep. One campsite had a golf cart completely torn apart with parts scattered across the site for our entire stay. Additionally, I made my reservation over the phone, and they entered my checkout date incorrectly by one day. I called to have it corrected and never received a callback. Overall, the campground felt overcrowded (not a lot of people but no space), noisy, poorly planned, and poorly managed. This was not a relaxing camping experience, and I would not recommend Anvil Campground to anyone looking for a quiet or comfortable stay.

We’re an active RV family, and when planning our trip to the Williamsburg, VA area, we searched for a great campground close to the local attractions. The reviews led us to Anvil—and we’re so glad they did! This place was outstanding. Easy to get to, simple in-and-out access, and perfect for families. The arcade was a huge hit with the kids, packed with great games, board games, and more—and it was included. The staff was incredibly friendly and super helpful when we had questions about parks and tickets. Like always, we forgot a few things, but the camp store had everything we thought we brought. Big plus! We’ll definitely be back in the spring. The campground is small—but not too small—so you get space and privacy without feeling crowded like you do at some of the huge resorts. The sites here are laid out really well with plenty of room to move around. Thank you for a wonderful stay, Anvil! We can’t wait to return.
