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!

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.

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!

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.

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 :)

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.

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.
