Naval Weapons Station Yorktown - Cheatham Annex Recreation Area

Nice FamCamp. We had a multi-day stay. Our site was concrete, had a picnic table and fire ring. The Bath House was nearby and was clean. Though it was not advertised, there is an unsecure wifi network. The FamCamp was quiet and by appearances, most of the guest were in the area to attending training courses. There are a number of cabins nearby as well. Our site was full hookups, W/E/S and there was a dump station available near the exit that also had an Air and Vacuum Machines ($1.00 and $1.50). The only downside to this Park are the skunks. There is a large family of skunks that raid through the camp site at night. They were also seen along the road between the RV park and cabins, so if you walk your dog in the evening be warned. The location makes getting around to local tourist sites easy.

Wow! I wish I knew about this over the past 15 years while I was stationed close by. This is a hidden gem. I randomly found this place on Google Maps and it is absolutely one of the best places I've ever taken my two sons. An entire Cottage that sleeps 4 people right near the water for $80 a night is something that you never see or hear of any more.

This is a military lodging location. Not everyone can stay here. Great value for what you get compared to off post. You cannot beat the area it is in, 15 minutes away from Williamsburg and Busch Gardens. It could be a bit cleaner, but they are old buildings (the ones we stayed in, there are new cabins). Added bonus, 202 A and B are definitely haunted.

So calm and quiet! A ton of wildlife everywhere! We've seen deer, groundhogs, turtles, vultures, rabbits, skunks, opposums, beautiful butterflies and dragonflies!

Would be 5 stars if it weren't for the trails on the campsite. This is our second time visiting and it's one of our favorite little staycations. The first time we visited there was bad weather, but this time it was beautiful. So, we decided to take our dog on the trail before dinner. It was a lovely trail and a nice length at a little over a mile, but when it spit us out of the trail we were not even close to the campsite. We finally got our bearings and walked down a road that led us into view of the front of the campsite...but we were behind a locked fence. Our options were either to walk about a mile and a half back to the trail and through it or walk all the way around on the roads which would've been at least 2 miles. All that being said, nice campgrounds just beware of the trails. Go there and back or prepare for a long walk. No signage letting you know the trail mileage or map showing where it leads.

Excellent recreational facility for military personnel. Clean cottages with the comfort of home at reasonable prices.
