We booked for a family getaway with my son and his wife coming on the 3rd day of the trip with plans to pitch their tent behind site 70. We got there and setup and literally an hour later the first train came through. Then behind the site was the road, so there was no way my son or daughter in law were going to be able to sleep there. No trees for shade and my neighbors slide made it so it could not extend my awning. Plus when we reserved we requested and we're told we were getting site 46. They called the day we were to arrive and had moved us. The staff was friendly enough, but we moved after 2 nights at our expense to a much quieter campground. Don't plan on going back to Anvil.

The reservation needed to be canceled due to an emergency surgery of my family member while on the way to Anvil Campground. Anvil KEPT the ENTIRE COST, not just a deposit. That means they are making a profit from our family's hardship, since now they are able to rebook the same site. Sad & shameful, it's not always about money, good luck with your Karma.

I loved this small, family friendly campground. The staff are super nice, helpful and friendly. We stayed in a cabin which had a TV, microwave, fridge and small freezer. The beds were very comfortable. The showers and toilets were spotless and clean and looked new and modern. The pool was heated. We were comfy and happy and had everything we needed. So close to Colonial Williamsburg and restaurants and shops. Perfect place to stay. I saw some people complain about trains but they did not bother us at all, slept through them passing if any even passed at night. The gentle rumble in the morning was quite soothing. This is the nicest, friendliest campsite I've ever stayed at and we highly recommend staying here.

We really enjoyed our too short stay at Anvil Campground. We found this campground because it was super pet friendly and we were allowed to have our 5 dogs. It was our very first trip in our first camper and we are glad we chose Anvil. We got the site we wanted and the Staff was wonderful.

How necessary is it for you to call a Social services especially to a woman who is going to give birth in less than 10 days? for what reason? Even police called it so petty, CHRIS JUMP! Without talking to us 1st, how bad do you think we are to have just decided by yourself to have ruined our 1 month vacation while trying to do photoshoots for my upcoming baby! I understand the word "concerned" but do it in a matured way, Yes I'm ANGRY SUPER ANGRY YOU INSULTED ME AS A PARENT, GIVEN ME EMOTIONAL DISTRESS AND LACK OF SLEEP FOR 4 DAYS QUESTIONING MYSELF WHAT DID I DO WRONG? ITS A FAMILY CAMPGROUND AND YOU ARE SUCH A LIAR IN YOUR STATEMENT, I don't know if there is more agenda why you did what you did. But GROW UP! As a mom this is so painful what you've done, have some respect and try to talk to the parents first before taking an action, even social workers felt so bad to us and gave us 50$ gift card from this mess. You're unbelievable I feel so devastated! Don't be proud on what you are achieving in life if all you are trying to do is power tripping people especially to a family who is paying for your rv spot INSIDE OF A FAMILY CAMPGROUND, HAVE SOME RESPECT AND ACT LIKE AN ADULT! JUST SPEAK TO PEOPLE FIRST. I even asked a lot of people about my point of view and they said A. It's a waste of time what you did and B. it's extremely petty. Not my words just words from people living in James county at the sheriffs office and your own employees they just couldn't speak up about it. But neglecting my kids for 40 seconds based on his story is enough reason for him to report us in a FAMILY CAMPGROUND WHICH MEANS SHOULD BE A KID FRIENDLY!

This is the second time we've been to Anvil Campground. Everyone that works here is exceptionally professional, friendly and willing to help out in any way. We are here this time for an extended stay. We wanted to hunker down for the winter on the east coast and picked this wonderful campground. We had the pleasure to be here during Xmas and got to meet Santa Claus, the grinch, and lots of yummy goodies that the campground had for it's guests and anyone who wanted to come by and experience this! They went over the top. We highly recommend this campground to anyone who wants to stay in the Williamsburg, VA area. There is so much history here and so many things to see that are literally 15-20 minutes away.

Anvil is a clean, friendly, family-orientated campground exceptionally close to Busch Gardens, Colonial Williamsburg and the outlets. The heated pool was great for the warm October weekend we spent at the campground, and the Trick-or-Treat event was adorable for the kiddos. So many participants from our fellow campers! The only downside was the proximity to the trains. Noticeably absent from the site map, we weren’t aware such active railways were ~10ft from our tent site when we booked. Trains passed about once an hour, and woke us up throughout the night both nights we stayed. Something to note if you’re booking a tent site or anything on the side the general store is located. I’ve added a photo showing how close our picnic table was to the tracks. Would stay again, just maybe on the other side!
