I stayed here instead of a hotel to prepare for a wedding. It was great! Both cottages were spotless, and there were little touches that made me feel welcome. I had to prepare a meal for a large number of people, as well as get dressed in a gown, and the large, clean areas and fully equipped kitchen made it easy. Maintenance even stopped by because a light bulb was out, and they were there within 15 minutes! There were plenty of pillows, and the bed was really comfortable. The train did come by, but I honestly didn't notice it after the first time. The staff was really friendly, and helped with whatever I needed. The owner even let me borrow his crock pot, because I forgot mine at home! I would definitely stay here any time I'm in Williamsburg again. It's like staying at a hotel room with a kitchenette, but with much more room, and more privacy. Would you Recommended this hotel to a friend? Yes October 23, 2011 - www.anvilcampground.com - Letter: Charles B. from Cape Canaveral, Florida Hi Jump brothers, Bernice, and staff: Thank you for my third year of great RV'ing Anvil Campground. Both when I visited solo and when I visited with my brothers, it's always a pleasure to be your guest. As you know, as a recreational runner I love the convienence of your location. As a frequently Amtrak passenger I love the ease of seamless transportation between your park and the Williamsburg Amtrak station.
Lastly, the kindness and personal touch that you extend to me makes Anvil Campground "feel like home". I'm looking forward to seeing you again next year. Many thanks and kindest regards, -Charles F.

The campground is very nice. The sites are small and more suited to large travel trailers or big rigs that don't need much space beyond the camper. The staff was excellent and very helpful. Nice, well stocked store and clean bathrooms with nice showers. Location is great! We were just a few miles from Colonial Williamsburg. Campground offers a nice shuttle service to the Visitor Center although we didn't use it because we had a pet with us. The train could be an issue if loud noises bother you. The train ran right behind our site and was
quite loud with a lot of vibration. It only bothered us the first night but then we got used to it and since we love trains it was kind of neat. Would recommend taking a more premium site if you don't want to be right up against the train tracks. Lots of things to do in the area and multiple good restaurants. Super Walmart & Lowe's & Home Depot close by. Thanks for a great week, Anvil. We'll be back next time we're in the area! Would you Recommended this hotel to a friend?

I found this camp on the Internet and decided to give it a try since it was very close to Busch Gardens, Water Country and Colonial Williamsburg. We rented the Journeyman Cottage and it was great! It comfortably slept 6 people and the only thing we had to provide was linens for the futon couch and the extra cots. The campground itself and its facilities are very well maintained and the staff is very friendly and helpful. There are plenty of restaurants, gas stations and a super Walmart in the immediate area. One thing you should be aware of is that a railroad track does run behind the campground. There is a tree line that separates the camp from the tracks so there is not a safety issue but it is a working track and trains do run at all hours. This may be a show stopper for some, especially for a light sleeper but for me it brought back memories of my childhood and the trains that ran behind our house. We will definitely be returning to Anvil Campground! Would you Recommended this hotel to a friend? Yes July 5, 2011 - www.tripadvisor.com - Location can't be beat! -4 out of 5 stars Just 10 minutes from Busch Gardens, Water County and Colonial Williamsburg! The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable of the area and attractions. They were very accommodating of our adding an extra night and our late check-in - they even called to remind us. Water, electric, cable and wi-fi were included. The trains are pretty loud but this did not bother us as we had the AC on in our pop-up. We would definitely stay there again.

So close to Busch Gardens and any restaurant you would ever want. The campground, bath houses, pool and everything in between is spotless. Think they scrubbed the road before we arrived. The owners could not have been any nicer. Even when we parked on the wrong site, they simply changed their system instead of having us move our camper. Thank you! We stayed in a standard site and it fit our 34' camper just fine. Next time I will reserve a Preferred site, only because we want to return and do more things in the area and make it a longer stay. There is a train track that runs along the rear of the campground. Thick tree line and fence is there so no safety issue. However, if you have light sleeper you may want to park a row over. The trains were just a couple during the night and wasn't an issue for us. This was actually my 2nd stay at this campground. The last time was about 30 years ago with my parents and after arriving at Anvil we noticed our hot water tank in the camper had a leak. This was our first stop on a 10 week vacation. My dad asked the owner where he could get it fixed and the owner (same family/owner as now) took our tank and said to go enjoy the parks and he would take care of it. We return that evening to our camper and the hot water tank was fixed and installed back into the camper. Payment for services?? Asked only that we return. Sorry it took me 30 years.

From opening the store after hours to give me quarters for laundry, to personally coming to our trailer to help my son with his wi-fi connection, the staff could not do enough to make sure our stay was more then pleasant!! Your efforts are greatly appreciated and we will definitely stay again!" May, 30, 2011 - www.yelp.com -5 out of 5 stars "LOVE this place!! Family owned, friendly folks. All sites shaded, very well kept. Pool, lots of play areas for kids. Bus service to all attractions and all of Williamsburg stops here. $1.50 gets you an all day bus pass and kids ride free. Next to a train track. If that bothers you, it may be an issue. But, I love the clackity clack sound of a train and found it peacefully soothing. I also loved the nesting Robins
and bay birds in the trees and on the playground equipment. Site #77 is next to a play area and it's like having a huge site with a private play area. One of the best campgrounds I have stayed in!!"

Apr 1, 2011 - www.tripadvisor.com - Talk about a great place to stay!!! -5 out of 5 stars - Richmond, Virginia My fiance and I stayed here back in June in the Journeyman Cottage. For the price we were paying I figured it would be no different then a hotel room. Boy was I wrong! The cottage was like a house having everything we needed. We only had to bring the cloths on our back and food. Everything else was supplied. The office and maintenance staff is so friendly and very well informed on what to do in the Williamsburg area. When we checked-in, the staff went out of their way to explain what attractions to see and how much time we would need to see it all. Next time we come to Williamsburg we are definitely staying at Anvil Campground! I would suggest everyone else to do the same. Would you Recommended this hotel to a friend? Yes April 2011 - www.rvparkreviews.net Rating : 8 out 10 Great staff and very cordial. Small but good sites. Close to restaurants and attractions. Would stay here again. Used Passport America. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel. January 14, 2011 - www.yahoo.com - 5 out of 5 stars We stayed at Anvil over New Year s weekend and it was fantastic!! Do not believe the negatives...go see for yourself!! Yes, there is a train. Yes, there is a road nearby. It all adds to the ambience of camping. The sites were clean, level and easy to get into. The staff was very accommodating. We have stayed there previously and are planning another stay in April 11 with 6 other families. The campground is very convenient to shopping, dining, colonial Williamsburg and any other attraction there is in the area. The owners didn't deliberately build a campground between a railroad track and
roadway...it was inherited and passed down from generation to generation. Support small family owned business and give Anvil a try...you'll be glad you did.
