Very convenient location to all attractions. Safe and secure location. Not really big enough to sleep six people unless 4 of them are small children. Bring your own linens and towels if you have more than 2 people. Nice kitchen with regular size appliances. No dishwasher. Plenty of plates, silverware and things to cook with. No large bowl to mix a salad. Plenty of room to store groceries. Good shower. Comfortable bed.

Very friendly staff. Very detailed discription on things to bring if need according to the size of your party. Close to just about every store or gas station. 10 to 15 minute drive to BushGardens or Water Country USA. Cozy inside cottage. Outside had table , chairs, and firepit ring. Family orientated. Will stay again there again in the future.

Our dog Frankie had a great time in the space. She doesn't do well in hotels and likes the quiet. It was private, convenient to everything Williamsburg had to offer, and was a great little cottage for us to stay in over the holiday!

Very Charming

We had a very nice stay at Anvil Campground. The place was so charming and had everything you needed in the cottage. The location is so convenient with its proximity to the stores and restaurants. Thanks for having us.

Great for Kids and Pet

The property was great, awesome cabin with all that we needed. Cutest general store and great playgrounds. Dog park for a pet and very convenient. Only negative is that it is directly beside a very active railroad track. After the first night you get used to it though. Very friendly, very clean!

The staff were friendly and professional. Did not bother us but were there whenever needed.

Excellent condition and uniquely located to fishing, town, military bases, restaurant, Walmart (if you forgot something). Chairs were not very comfortable but we weren't sitting in them much unless it was a rainy day or watching a movie. Fire pit was small but did the job. Barbecue grill was excellent, just like the ones at the park except it is for your personal use.

Friendly Atmosphere

We stayed at Anvil the weekend before Halloween, so there was trick or treating and it was so fun to see how everyone had decorated their campers. Everyone was really friendly, the workers at Anvil and the other visitors. The general store is stocked with everything from milk and eggs to firewood and tools. They also have free earplugs, if you’re a light sleeper when the train goes by. The Blacksmith cottage was great and it was nice to be so close to stores, so we did some grocery shopping and cooked most of our meals in the cottage. Williamsburg was just a few minutes drive away and there is also a bus that stops right at the campground. We really enjoyed our stay :)

I booked the cottage for my family of 5. There must be an error in the listing, because, for the beds, the listing shows there are 1 queen bed and 4 sofa beds. Unfortunately, we found that there were only 2 sofa beds... so my 12 year old son and 11 year old daughter had to share a bed -- not cool. Also, when we entered the cottage, the first thing we smelled was pet urine. The rug at the entrance of the front door reaked. Probably from a previous guest not letting their dog out in time. Nonetheless, we don't have pets and this was very gross to us. I stored the rug in the closet until we left the next day. Other than that, the cottage was nice. The people working at the general store were friendly. And the kids enjoyed the pool.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re so glad you enjoyed the friendliness of our staff, the pool, and the comfort of the cottage overall. The main description and details of our VRBO listing were correct, but we unfortunately found that error in the expandable detail section that showed an inaccurate bed configuration. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention so we could correct it. The cottage includes one queen bed, two double futons, and optional rollaway beds. We wish we had known during your stay, as we would have been happy to bring you as many rollaway beds as needed so everyone had their own comfortable sleeping space. That correction has already been submitted to VRBO. As for the rug, we missed this during our cleaning process. While we’re not perfect, we always strive for a perfect effort, and we wish we would have known during your stay so we could have taken care of it right away for you. The issue has since been fully resolved. Future guests can be assured that the listing is now accurate and the cottage is ready for a comfortable stay. We appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you back in the future for the five-star experience we always aim to deliver.

Williamsburg cabin near it all

Great location to drive to Busch Gardens and Williamsburg. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes and pots and pans. The bathroom is very clean. The two futons in the living room are comfortable. The campground is very clean.

The campground is small, but has great amenities for the kids. They loved the pool and the zipline! The staff was very accommodating. A great place to stay a couple of nights with the family and our 2 dogs!

Great for families and kids

We found a cottage available with Anvil campground last minute and booked it- I’m so glad we did! The staff goes over the top to make sure all is well, from before check-in, throughout the stay, and when leaving. Our little boys loved the various playgrounds on the camp ground and everything was so clean. The general store was probably their favorite part; with lots of goodies and even some LEGOS. Thank you, we will be back!

Perfect for a Family

This is a great place to stay for a family with pets. There are playgrounds throughout the facility for the kids and areas for dogs as well. The cottage itself is much larger than a hotel room and works well for families. Great bang for your buck.
