This is a fabulous campground. I was a bit nervous when booking in campground B as I had read it did not have a lot of shaded sites. I was pleasantly surprised to see that all of the sites had plenty of trees and shade areas when I arrived. The sites themselves are large w/plenty of room for a camper (ours is 32 ft.) and your tow vehicle (we drive an Excursion). The bathroom/laundry facilities were new and very clean. They do a wonderful job maintaining them as well. The park has an Olympic sized pool w/diving boards and a slide that is free to campers. The Chippokes Plantation Home is located w/in the park as well and is open for tours and is worth going through. It was built in 1854 and gives a good idea of plantation life from that era. The park also offers many activities during the week. My kids (4 boys aged 5, 7, 11 & 13) went fishing w/the Ranger ($6/family). The Ranger provided the poles and bait. We took a candlelight walk through the River Run buildings with the park historian and learned all about plantation life. One of the Rangers even went along w/just my boys to hunt for sharks teeth and fossils along the James River. We stayed at this park while visiting Williamsburg and Jamestown. You need to plan about 40 minutes to get to Williamsburg. You will need to take the free auto ferry back and forth across the James River. The ferry ride takes 15 minutes and Williamsburg is about 15 minutes from there. It was very convenient and fun. Jamestown is just on the other side of the River. I would definitely go and stay at this park again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Gorgeous campground. Beautiful wooded sites, tall trees, fire pits, grills, tables, hookups. Stayed first night after arriving late in loop a, was a little unlevel but loop b fills quickly (we snagged a spot the next morning in loop b which was posh!). Beautiful trails along the James River, nice plantation houses to visit. We camped with a 3 year old and 3 month old. Had a wonderful time. Lots of children and dogs in park. Would highly recommend. We liked the campground so much, we skipped Colonial Williamsburg! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Yet another great Virginia State Park! This park is across the river from Jamestown on the James River and we used it as our base to tour Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. There is a free vehicular ferry across the river that runs every half hour. The park has two sections - A is older and better for tents; B has 50 amp, very large paved sites and new rest rooms. There were only a few campers here mid-week in early October. There is a large pool (summer) and an historic mansion and farm museum to tour (free in 2007 only). Could not get WiFi but available outside library in Surry. Would stay here again and recommend it as a base for Williamsburg if you have the time to take the ferry which we enjoyed. Campground was very dark and quiet at night. Information said there was an extra charge for pets but even though we told them about our dog, we were not charged. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
