Williamsburg KOA Campground

Our family of 4 spent 4 nights at this KOA. We spent a little bit extra for a premium site, and it was worth every penny! We had a beautiful site, complete with a wooden swing, a outdoor table, and a fire pit. The location of the campground was perfect! We were 15 minutes from everything — Busch Gardens, Colonial Williamsburg, and Jamestown. We were able to purchase discounted tickets for all of these places in the office. Even though we had plenty to keep us busy in Williamsburg, the campground offered great options too! There were movies and activities every evening and the pool and bounce pillow were a huge hit with the kids. The office staff was even great in allowing us to arrange a late check out! This was a wonderful trip and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a family friendly get away!

We stayed on the ‘quiet side’ in a rustic cabin. Beautiful campground seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Lots of acreage with nice walking trails. Super pet friendly. Request a secluded cabin if you can as our cabin was clustered together facing several others at an uncomfortably close distance. Lynn at the camp store was AMAZING and very knowledgable! Restrooms were a bit outdated but worked. Pool was nice. Will return!

We stayed here last Thursday through Sunday in one of the cabins and had a fantastic time. The cabins were clean and the perfect size for four of us! It was a short walk to the nearest bathroom area and they were also very clean! The wifi worked great and the customer service was fantastic. Everyone who worked there was courteous and attentive. We are more than excited to come back two more times this summer and experience more of what the KOA has to offer! Hopefully next time we will get more time to spend at the pool and the bounce pillow! :) thanks for the great time Williamsburg KOA!

We love camping year round. This Place is great !!! Well stocked store great staff. it is pretty cold out and you guessed it I heater stopped working thank you wayne for coming to the rescue. They got us a portable heater for us to use. thanks again Wayne we will be back one of our favorite places to visit.

Bouncy pillow! Hey, the sign said from 8 to 80, and I’m definitely in between! They actually encouraged us to play with it, and I felt like a kid all over again! It was SO MUCH FUN! Like a bounce house, but a giant pillow!
On top of it, the grounds at KOAs are always clean, the staff is always friendly and the store always has what you’re looking for. Within a few minutes of Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens, a great location and much cheaper than a hotel.
Bath houses were clean and spacious. Free pancakes on Saturday and all of October was Halloween every weekend. Williamsburg isn’t a destination we’ll hit every single year, but I do recommend this location for camping, absolutely.

This is definitely a different camping experience that I have ever had. There were some pros and cons. Cons were that your camp site is SO close to everyone else. I can flick a piece of paper and it would be in someone else’s campground. There are quiet hours from 10pm-​8am and we did get a complaint around 11ish or so. You don’t really get the «wilderness» feel out here. The place is dog friendly but they must be on a leash which was a bummer for my dog who had to be tied up the whole time.
Pros were that you have access to bathrooms that were kept pretty clean. They have a store where you can buy ice, wood, beer and any necessities you may have forgotten. There are free pancakes every morning. There is a big pool, a volleyball court and a small dog park. There is a bouncy thing for kids as well. Another pro was that there seemed to be hardly any mosquitos! Score!
It seems kind of expensive but when you realize that they must upkeep all the amenities it makes sense. Next time I would prefer a place more in nature but with friends it was a great time. We did make friends with our (close) neighbors as well.

The campground was a little pricy for what you get. The ice cream stand was really expensive, the tiny cabin was up there as well. However, they have a nice pool and lots of things for you to do there. If you go, plan on whipping out your bug spray, the Mosquitos or triggers are terrible. I’ve never been bit so badly and often. There are only a select few people who know what’s going on there as well. Glenn and rob seem to be the only ones, everyone else is super friendly but clueless. The bathrooms are a bit of a hike depending where you are staying (especially in the middle of the night). Campground is very clean overall, you didn’t see any litter or trash. This is still one of my favorite campgrounds. Plus it’s close to Busch gardens.

Place might be nice… but $ 86 for one night RV stay is nuts. I was given a lower price in the days leading up to our arrival and then the day of arrival we were told it was twice as much. The manager «Rob» said it had been a mistake and refused to honor the price. Very bad business practice.

We were looking for a pet-​friendly place to stay overnight on our drive down south. I booked a cabin with this KOA ahead of time, and I was very satisfied! Wouldn’t have done anything differently except book a cabin with a bathroom. The cabins were in good condition with air conditioning and even a TV. We walked to the communal bathrooms, which could have been a little cleaner, but hey it’s «camping» so they were perfectly fine for that standard. What impressed me most was how much effort the staff has put in to make this a family-​friendly all-​around fun experience. There’s free movie nights, a big pool, games, events, pancake breakfasts, free coffee, a store loaded with stuff for toasting marshmallows and cooking over fire pits… if I had kids, I’d certainly bring them here for a clean, fresh, outdoor vacation.

First time staying here. It was a great experience. Rented a cabin, it was very clean. We arrived way after check-​in time and they left a map of our cabin taped to the window and the key was in the door ready for us. We registered the next day and the staff was very friendly and told us great spots to visit. The pool was nice with a playground. Overall, my stay was excellent. We would come here again.

Excellent location, closed by to everything. The staff was wonderful and the amenities are good. Kids love the outdoor bouncing areas. Highly recommend it.

I’m not an expert camper and in my adult life have visited a total of two camp sites but if you are up for a cheap version of Glamping, then this is the place for you. The staff really has this place together! They were very welcoming and very present to keep the campground and campers in order leading to great campsite experience.
Since I’m not a routine camper, we rented one of their cabins which had electricity, heat, air conditioning, and a TV with lots of channels. The only slightly difficult thing to work with was that the cabins we were in are on a hill so the ground was very uneven as we tried to sit around the campfire at night. oh well, I’m supposed to be enjoying nature, i think :)
The camp site had the coolest «giant inflatable pillow» to jump on which is definitely something I’d never seen before. What a blast! The playground could use a renovation but suited our kiddos for entertainment. They also provided a movie on an outdoor screen and Easter Egg hunt the next morning. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this site to REAL campers :)

This is probably one of my favorite KOAs in terms of how well taken care of the sites are, etcetera. The issues we had (2 completely different nights — one in July, the other in August) were more related in how the staff deals with other campers.
Pros — the stores here are beautiful and well stocked. There’s free coffee in the morning from 8 – 10. The tent sites are very clean and there’s little trash at them. Overall, great way to save money on vacation!

We stayed at a cabin with heat and TV and a little firepit. The night’s sleep was awesome (great & comfy mattresses for a camp cabin). Best of all — we’d never taken the children camping before and they loved the whole experience — the bathrooms were heated and CLEAN. They loved the banana bike rentals and the jumping pillow and they had many activities for the children: Hayride, Pumpkin Painting, a clown, Costume Parade and Trick or Treating, and a great pancake breakfast on Saturday morning. We were really impressed with this location.

Great campground for anyone. Spacious sites, clean bath houses, wooded just right, friendly staff, lots to do for the kids. The love the jumping pillows. Pool is well kept. Campground is also dog friendly. Close to local attractions and not far from shopping if you forget something. Camp store is adequate with cool souvenirs for kids. Can not think of anything that could be done better. It’s where we ways stay when we come to wiiamsburg.

We just returned from a long weekend spent camping in Williamsburg at the KOA. I was very happy overall with our stay. All facilities are clean, the staff is friendly and they had so many activities planned for the kids over the holiday weekend. I was really impressed with how well kept the property is — the bathrooms were warm, clean and very well spaced throughout the campground for quick and easy access. I had plenty of hot water both days, but my husband did say his was cold the entire time. Not sure if he just got a bum stall!
Upon arrival they had a staff member escort us to our tent site — the site was large, and we quickly found a flat spot to pitch our tent. One of the few negatives I have to say is that our site was missing a fire pit and it took a few hours for the staff to locate one. It’s not that they weren’t working on it, but it was frustrating as we checked in at 6 so by the time we got the pit it was getting dark and we still needed to cook dinner.
The campsite is easily navigated, the pool was not overcrowded, the splash pad and baby pools were both large and very clean. I didn’t feel like the main pool was particularly heated, but it was also an 80+ degree weekend so it didn’t need it.
Outdoor movies both nights but we only attended one — LOTS of seating available.
The kids enjoyed the jumping pillows — especially the surrounding sand that they could dig in. :) I like that they had separate areas for younger and older kids.
Proximity to downtown Williamsburg and Busch Gardens was a definite plus. As well as being close to other commercial options (i.e. Starbucks and a killer donut place — Duck Donuts)! I like camping, but I’m more ‘camping light’ so if I like that I’m not truly out in the middle of nowhere!
Lastly, Wi-​Fi was actually pretty impressive! I know there were some complaints about it here, but for the most part connectivity was good. I tried to set my iPad to download a movie for the long ride home overnight and that failed, but I honestly didn’t expect it to go through. :) But for general use throughout the weekend it was great. Definitely a bonus amenity that you don’t think you’d get at a campsite!

I’ve heard many of the US KOA’s are poorly managed, mainly because they are all independently owned. But this KOA, which is my first experience was amazing.
How clean? Spotless, pristine! From the restrooms, showers and the cabins. Not one dust bunny under the beds. I will be coming back here. I think the other locations around the US need to use this as a model. The KOA is classic Americana, and we can’t let it fall by the wayside with owners who can’t afford to maintain their properties. Corporate needs to take note of this place. The host was incredibly gracious. We chatted with him by the pool, and he really seemed to care about this place. It showed. It’s close to anything you need, and of course the historical sites.

Staff was great. Lots for kids to do. Not wooded enough to feel like true camping though… Good prices and close to stuff if you’re doing the tourist thing. We wanted some true camping and that wasn’t really achieved but over all good place. Especially if you won an RV…

Fairly good as KOA’s go. You probably only stay at a KOA if you
a) Had kids
b) Owned a gigantic winnebago
c) Were deaf
But, actually, the deluxe cabins were quite nice and many in our (large) party stayed there. We stayed in one of the basic cabins; basic, yes, but perfectly comfortable. We’ll probably do a deluxe cabin next time: P
Lots for kids to do, nice pool (paddling pool too – a.k.a. «pee pool»), and a giant jumping trampoline bag thing. Great fun for the little ones.
That is, if you can stand the summer heat & humidity…

The KOA campground was given a rating of 3 star. The area was fantastic, close enough to stores like Walmart, historical areas, Busch Gardens/​Water Country, but far away (tucked away) into the woods. The cabin we chose was a Deluxe Cabin.
Our cabin was cleaned and well maintained. They provided most of the necessities needed to live comfortably. The cabin had a futon bed, 2 bunks beds, dining table, microwave, sink, small refrigerator, bathtub/​shower, bath sink, toilet, queen bed in a 2^nd bedroom, 2 flat screen TV (one over dining room table and the 2^nd in the master bedroom), (2) AC units (one in the living room and the 2^nd in the master room), plenty of storage for clothing and cabinets for food/​pots/​pans. The cabin came with dishes, cups, pots and pan, a gas grill, picnic table, deck, fire pit outside, and dressers. We had linens provides, towels, and toiletries. Needless to say that cabin was decked out!
I truly enjoy the amenities that came with the cabin, as this weekend we went through a flooded storm and we had lots to do inside. If it wasn’t for the weather, we would have had a better time, but this is not on the campground; they cant control the weather.
The staff were friendly and attentive and very customer service oriented.
There were a few slip ups during our stay though. For example, the deluxe cabin we were in, can sleep 6 people but only had 2 sets of towels, 4 chairs instead of 6, the futon bed came with no linens (bunk beds and queen bed came with linens). Another thing that really stood out was that they advertise that they have a heated pool but could out that they do not heat the pool but only certain time of the year. The jumping pillow they had has been under repair due to a 10 feet long break in the fabric, so this wasn’t available to us during this weekend (would have been a great thing to have operating due to the inclement weather). The game room wasn’t all that it was hyped to be.
Game room had a human-​life-​size chess board with pieces, air hockey table, a couple of pick and grab vending machine (stuffed animals etc), pool table, Foosball table and that’s it. The air hockey table worked, the vending machines worked, but the pool table was not. There was a rubber ball that got stuck and it’s condition wasn’t up to par (pool sticks were missing their cues etc). The Foosball table was missing pieces like the small ball. The coin change machine was out of service so we couldn’t do our laundry, we had no change. Alot of their advertised amenities like the game room, jumping pillow, heated pool were all misleading. All of it was either under repair, not working, malfunctioning, out dated etc.
We were disappointed in this as we spent over $ 500 on a 3 days, 2 night stay. For the money, we spent (not counting what we spent in the gift shop), the little bit of items they had should have been working or in good condition and they weren’t. We were highly disappointed in this.
The cabin experience was great, walking the nature trail was fun, but the other amenities were not up to par. I gave this place a 3 and will not be returning.
We wanted the weekend to end, so we did not pursue getting a discount for our next stay or getting a slight refund; the motivation wasn’t there. It was more of a let down. Thank goodness we brought our own game system, board games, food etc. There wasn’t much for the kids to do because of the lack of functioning amenities. I think KOA could benefit from adding a few new things like a putt putt course, working pool table (maybe have 2 tables), have more than 1 air hockey table, maybe a couple of pin ball machines, a bit more of an arcade feel and a working change machine. Oh and keep the pool heated all year round, it would have been perfect for this past weekend when it rained and we went through a storm that left us cold and wanting to jump in warm waters.
Maybe we will reconsider coming back if they upgrade what they have or offer discounts to others things in the area.
