Reservations were simple and easy over the phone, I made ours about two weeks in advance. Main gate has some obstacles/barriers but not real difficult to get around, military ID will be required to get on base. Check-in to MWR outdoors prior to heading to campground, they are on "D" street, turn left when you see base gas station. The lot of the MWR outdoors has a drive around so no need to worry about pulling in and turning around. If you like to take photos, as my wife does, take them now as there is no need to come back to the MWR for anything else. The do have some stuffed animals inside. I was assigned a spot for the campground but was told by the folks at MWR that if I liked another spot better just go ahead and take it, just give them a call to let them know which spot I would be in. I was assigned spot 10 on the first row coming into the campground, this is where the majority of campers were. We took spot 31 instead, only one row from the bath house. All spots are concrete pads with 20/30/50 amp service, cable TV, sewer, water, picnic table, and fire ring/grill. WIFI is available for free, on average I was getting 2 MBPS download and 1 MBPS upload, not bad but not for videos. It was spotty at times but generally acceptable. Morning and evening colors were played loud enough to hear over any noise you may be making inside or outside your camper. There is a nice wide trail through the woods by the campground which is good for hiking, not very demanding. There is no camp host or on site presence of authority, all things go through MWR, they were friendly, courteous, and professional. There are six individual bathrooms with shower, sink and toilet, and a laundry room with 3 washers and dryers, $1.50 per load. The bathrooms and laundry are in the same new building along with a community/get together room. The bathrooms and laundry could use attention more often, for being brand new I was expecting a clean environment. Overall it is tough not to be impressed with this new facility, we loved the location and will definitely stay here again in the future.

We have stayed in the cabins at CAX Outdoors many times over the years, but this was our first stay in the RV park. First off, if anyone has a desire to visit the Virginia Peninsula/Tri-cities Historic Area, this is your home base. Located on the York River, you are only minutes from Yorktown, Williamsburg, Jamestown, Busch Gardens, Water Country USA and the cities of Hampton and Newport News. There is no other place as conveniently located. The RV sites are very well maintained with a concrete slab that has room enough for an RV and an additional vehicle. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. There is a children's play set in the field next to the restrooms/bathhouses. The bath houses them selves are in good condition and everything worked. The only complaint with regard to the bathhouses is that they need a good deep cleaning and a coat of paint, particularly in the showers where the floor paint is almost completely worn off. Regarding amenities on the base, there is a small convenience store/gas station on Sanda Rd, the main road, and there is a snack bar, 4th Street Grill, on 4th street just past the Navy Gateway Inn and Suites. CAX Outdoors/MWR also has an extensive list of recreational equipment available for rent. Aside from the issue that I mentioned with the bathhouses, The only other thing that bothered me was something that is one of my pet paves, that being previous campers to our site were smokers and obviously sat outside near enough to the fire pit to smoke and toss their butts in the fire pit, with no fire burning, so that there was a pile of their butts in the fire pit that they didn't bother to pickup before they left. I have no problem with people smoking, I do have a problem with inconsiderate smokers who leave their burnt up butts for someone else to cleanup. Which I had to do before I could build a fire to use to cook our dinner and no, I didn't want the flavor of their cigarette butts in my food. We will definitely stay at the Kings Creek Campground again in the future.

Stayed over Labor Day weekend in 44' Fifth Wheel. Easy to navigate internal roads, 20'x40' concrete pads, FHU, solid utilities. Exceptionally clean and well maintained grounds. Camp Host and residents take great pride in the appearance of the campground. Hiking, fishing, canoeing and kayaking. Quiet campground away from the noise and activity of the nearby Water Country. NEX MiniMart with diesel, firewood and ice along with the usual convenience store items, including adult beverages of various kinds. The only drawback is cell service (Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint) were spotty 1 bar and WiFi was intermittent and OTA TV reception was hit and miss. But then, I didn't come here to watch TV or surf the internet. Region in HPCON C so masks are required in all buildings. One of the best, if not the best military campground we've stayed at.

Nice quiet Navy campground located in the heart of historic Virginia. Very clean with 50 diagonal back-in sites with full hookups including 30 and 50-amp power, water and sewer connections. There is also a picnic table and fire ring at each site. The sites are well maintained with grass being cut at least weekly if not more often. There are walking trails on the base as well as salt and freshwater fishing. A lot of animal life wanders the area. We saw deer, turkeys, groundhogs, ospreys, bald eagles, songbirds and a fox in the area. It is also noted that, being a wetland area, there are snakes and ticks in abundance so take appropriate steps to protect yourself. The campground is very close to Jamestown, Yorktown and Colonial Williamsburg and within commuting distance of Richmond, Petersburg, Washington DC, Virginia Beach and other historic cities. It is also located very close to Busch Gardens and Water Country. There is a shower/bath house is aging but, while not the cleanest I have seen, is at least not a complete health hazard since they try to keep it reasonably clean. There is a laundry facility that has a few issues. There was 1 bad washer and 1 bad dryer of the 3 each and the floor drain backed up a bit when the washing machine emptied but all of that has been reported for repairs. The functioning equipment worked well and costs $1.50 per wash load for 36 minutes and $1.50 per dryer load which lasts 50+ minutes. Reville plays at 0800 and Retreat sounds at 2030. That was the only sounds we could hear from the base. Occasionally you could hear fireworks from Busch Gardens, but not that loud. Overall, a very quiet area. The only real downside we found in the area is very poor cell phone coverage at the site we occupied (#19) only getting 1 bar at most and we never picked up the wifi that was supposedly there although other campers nearer to the bath house said they had fair reception so I would call the coverage spotty. The people at the base were all friendly and helpful. We didn't have a single issue with the people in the entire 2 weeks we stayed. There is a mini NX with gas and diesel and light groceries. They also have ice there. Be aware they are closed on Sunday. This is one of the best places we have stayed, and we will definitely stay again.

As this is primarily an RV park with cabins, and tent camping is a distant third offering, there are not many tent camping reviews. I am writing this review for any future tent campers to benefit from our experience. First, always book the "primitive" sites over by the RV park. Stay away from the w/e sites as they are rundown, tightly spaced, and oddly located right across from one of the golf holes. We wouldn't even camp there for free, much less the $20 they charge. But the "primitive" sites? So much better! I put word in quotations because there is nothing primitive about them, except for lack of electric hookup. But you have access to a potable water spigot and the restrooms are very nice (no showers that I saw.) We were at site 6 and it was spacious and level. No issue putting up two tents and a camp kitchen. And because this place is a well-kept secret, we had no other campers around us and we could be very *liberal* with our camp boundaries. Plenty of fallen wood on the ground for fires, we never lacked for any suitable firewood. Bring a hatchet for some of the larger fallen branches. Only a few cons that we found: 1. The streetlights are annoying while you're trying to sleep. If you must have pitch black, bring a tarp to put over your tent to block the light. There is really no way to situate your tent to not be exposed to a light. There is one about every 15 feet. 2. This is not a quiet experience. You're right by cabins and rv-ers who may be looking to party it up for the weekend. We didn't mind, but if you're looking for a truly primitive, remote getaway - this aint it. 3. Not a lot to do. We followed a trail and walked about a mile to the NEX mini-mart. We went to the fishing hole. We found a scenic spot. Other than that, expect to hang out at camp a lot. Nothing wrong with that, just be aware. Would we go back? Absolutely! Already planning a return trip. Great price, good location that hasn't been overrun. If you want to tent camp but don't want to be cut off from civilization, this is your spot.

I love this place. This is truly a hidden gem. Easy to get to and centrally located to most of the local attractions, as well as offering splendid fishing and recreational opportunities directly at the campground. The RV bathhouse was spotless, and cleaned daily. I was particularly grateful for the AC in the day-room at the bathhouse, both as a place to wait for laundry, and for the family to shelter from the freak 60 MPH winds and sever rainstorm that struck the area during our stay. The grounds are immaculate, and you can tell that the staff at Cheatham really take pride in their base. All that being said; for me, there are a few drawbacks. A few of the sites, namely 18 and 19 have no shade at all, and under the 100+ degree Virginia sunshine, the AC unit was working overtime to keep my 23' travel trailer cool. Forget staying outside at these sites due to the angle of the sun unless it's early morning or after sunset. As for the new campsites: I am very torn. To me , there are two types of campers: retirees in class A's and large Fifth wheel trailers that sort of mosey from one base to the other to homestead. And there is nothing wrong with that: they have earned that right. Then there are those campers that bring their kids and families and enjoy spending time outside, especially at night. If you are in the first group, then the new campsite is right up your alley and perfect. The pads are huge, with new modern full hookups. I do not care for the fact that they clear cut the woods to put the sites in, and then planted four foot trees. There is absolutely no shade in the new campgrounds. If you enjoy sitting outside on concrete, then this is for you. If you enjoy sitting around and telling lies at a campfire, then not so much. It's kinda like camping in a parking lot, only with shrubbery. There will also be primitive sites available, (the area was not cleared yet) and assume that they will allow travel trailers and pop-ups in them, although according to MWR, there will be no water or electric hookups. At least they are putting in a dump station at the new CG. I would sincerely hope that MWR does not close down the old campgrounds, but rather limit them to smaller travel trailers and pop-ups. I know I am going to catch alot of flack for this: but maybe they should have a family campground, and a homesteading campground. There are many more class A's and Fifth wheel trailers than little travel trailers like mine at the majority of military campgrounds that I have visited, and it seems that they are catered to. And that's fine. But please don't forget the smaller travel trailers with kids and families that enjoy camping. Apart from the above diatribe; this is a beautiful campground, in a beautiful location. You will not be disappointed.

I love it here. And yes it does deserve the Rating I gave it. The Mrs. and I carry a modem to upgrade our WIFI and cellphone service and have never had a problem with any such receptions I have seen posted herein. My wild life upgrade is that I and my puppy had to leave the RV at around 0315 so he could do his thing and came across a beautiful skunk in the campground. My pup wanted to get a hold of that creature and I had a good hold of his lease and pulling him back and away from the area. The skunk was holding his ground. Wild life all over the place to enjoy watching, but in this case at a distance. I used to say this was the best kept secret in the Navy, but not any longer. When we arrived it was fairly loaded with RVers and around 20 of them departed in a few days, just prior to us leaving at the end of the week it started to fill again. Just a suggestion, make your reservations there, whenever you have your RVing agenda established. As always, we will return to the best Naval MWR facility for RVs, campers, and those that like to just rent cabins on the East Coast, if not the USA.

Stayed here again during the first week of December 2016. We wanted to see the Grand Illumination in Williamsburg and do a little Christmas Shopping. As usual we got stuck in the Yankee Candle Mall. That didn't deter us for dining out. The wife followed up on meeting me at the Campground/RV Park the evening I checked in. Thank God we are from Richmond Virginia and that it only took an hour to get there. She left her ID Card at home on the table. Had to use my bike to peddle to the Main Gate and prove she was my spouse. Eventually, they let her in and I had to peddle my bike back to the RV Park. It was in the high 30s and my fingers were numb for quite a while after I got back to our RV. Not Funny. Earlier, I had stopped at a RV Center in Richmond and discovered that I didn't have my ID Card. I had left it at a storage facility on another military facility and that is where I lost my ID Card. Raced back to that location and no one had turned it in. Had to get a new ID Card. Luckily, the Pass and Tag office was still open. I was the last customer and they did not complain. So December 2nd did not start out all that well, but Cheatham Annex was so nice to get to. All my necessary paper work was waiting for me at the Main Gate. I had already had reservations for about two months and knew what site I was assigned. I always carry eight 2 X 10 X 12 inch treated boards for leveling the RV if necessary. I have automatic leveling at the push of a button, and the boards reduces the height the levelers have to go up to get the unit level. Actually, I have only discovered one pad that was really out of whack and always make sure that I did not ask for that spot again. It is easy to ask for the space one wants to use. The RV Park has never been full at any time of the year. Hunting season for deer has a few more spaces being used for the season, but never to the point of having to worry about being able to get in. Found out why the digital locks were placed on the bathroom doors. It appears that some adults let their kids go to them on their own and the bathrooms were trashed. I mean trashed. It is now possible to determine who is responsible for trashing the bathrooms. I usually, ask for spaces on the front row across from the bathrooms and I have noticed that the staff and or maintenance personnel clean those facilities at least one to two times daily. I guess depending of the use of any assigned bathroom. I believe no one can complain about the service at Cheatham. The NEX Service Station/Mini Mart carries a lot of supplies for campers and the almost Class 6 Store inside should meet anyone's alcoholic needs. The staff there are super friendly and goes out of their way to assist you. We have Verizon as our cellphone service and have not found any dead spots on Cheatham Annex. We carry a Verizon Upgrade Modem to ensure that we can use our Laptops and IPADS without worry of someone hacking our financial information. No problems yet. We will be back to the Best kept secret in the Navy.

We visited the new RV park on Cheatham Annex and all I can saw is "Wow"! This is going to be one very nice RV park, cabins, office/store when it is finished. Entering Cheatham Annex, turn left on B Street and continue to the end -- contractor is still working on the infrastructure and the office building and the cabin area. Very nice concrete pads and wide paved roads. The grass and landscaping has not matured and its very muddy/dirty at this time. Included three pictures of the new facility.

This is my 5th or 6th stop here on my south and back. Have read reviews regarding sites being uneven or not level. Have yet to find one really out of "plumb". That's why we we have leveling blocks/jacks. Have found very few sites {military or private} where all sites are perfectly level, water has to drain off somewhere. I find the sites terrific and the office staff very friendly, helpful and very accommodating. Had to move in early to escape the winter storms up north and the office staff very understanding and helpful. This is a new site and the trees have yet to grow, give them a chance guys, in a few years this will be a sought after campground. I never had a perfect duty station, never had a perfect life, but I am so thankful that we have the opportunity to avail ourselves of these military sites. Happy and satisfied with what I (we) have.

Great RV campground. We stay here often. My earlier reviews regarding poor GoWiFi signal strength have been solved by purchasing an external WiFi antenna and USB adapter ($29 from www.ccrane.com) Much cheaper over time than upgrading our Verizon JetPac. However, keep in mind GoWiFi is not secure so best to use a secure connection like the JetPac for banking, on-line transactions, etc. The installed cable TV system is analog. Unfortunately, the cable provider has switched to all Digital. The MWR staff says a fix may be a long time coming so if TV is important you'll need a satellite dish. However, Digital on-air antenna reception is good for several local channels (NBC) for local news & Weather.

2021 Keystone Cougar 28 Ft. 5th wheel. We enjoyed our stay at this little RV campsite. Flat and level concrete pad, quiet (except gun range and maintenance mower), very clean, and everything works except site #27 to which the dump hole does not have a thread so you have to use donut and put a heavy rock on top of it. Also, we were not notified prior to arrival that my assigned site #30 was given away so I have to call them when I arrived at my already occupied assigned site and they gave me site #27. :-0( Anyway, the campsite is 10 to 20 minutes away from Bush Garden, Waterways Park, and the Historic Triangle namely; Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown. We dedicated one day visit to each museum park and it was a lot of fun for us. The base also has a little 18-hole golf course and fishing piers to which we managed to catch a rockfish.

Stayed two months, visiting family (Jan-Mar 2023). Close to everything, great dining, historical sites. Sites are all back in, 30-50 elec, water and sewer. LOTS of dogs, most well behaved. Ran into deer while walking dogs after dark. No wifi in RV park, was told it was being "worked on". No off leash dog park, although there are several areas that would be available. Security provided; you will see Navy Police driving through frequently. Armed guards at the gate, not a whole lot of visible activity on the base. Gas station sells liquor, snacks, ice, firewood. No mess facility on base. Love it here; lots of space between sites.

I have always loved this Camp Ground. Quiet secluded and beautiful. However folks I do not think I will ever return in the heat of Summer. Why, little pests called mosquitos by the thousands. Ticks also. I was walking my 7 month old Cocker Spaniel who headed down one of the marked trails that I have taken dozens of times in the past, but always in the late fall and winter. Got near the foot bridge and the mosquitos attacked. Got out in a hurry. The next day we stayed on the roadway and walked around to the area used for tent camping and walked through to the pathway leading back to the restroom/shower facilities and again the mosquitos. I noted that there were three different camp sites in use and gone the next morning. Got back to the RV and the Mrs. helped remove ticks from the back of my body. We checked the puppy and found none on him. Don't get me wrong Cheatham is a wonderful campground facility. Just be prepared to have some type of insect repellent with you and use it before wondering away from your RV site. Will be back this fall or winter. We were there over Father's Day weekend and there was a load of fellow campers, but did not see or was able to chat with many of them since they were celebrating his day in Williamsburg or Busch Gardens theme park. The site I was assigned was not very level, but we carry enough leveling blocks to take care of this problem. Internet access was ok since we carry our own modem upgrade to enhance the reception. One night our puppy wanted to go out at around 3:30 a.m. to do his thing. Opened the door and a fox was right there. It looked at my pup who returned the stare then the fox took off across the street and turned back around and watched us for several minutes before heading into the woods. Like I have stated in the past, Wildlife galore. Haven't seen a black bear, but Virginia's Black Bear population is growing pretty darn fast.

The campground at Cheatham Annex about 30 minutes from Langley is really nice and central to the historic triangle of Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Jamestown. Lots to do and see here, including Busch Gardens Old Country just minutes away. It's part of the Yorktown Naval Weapons Station and this section of the base has very little activity that it feels almost deserted. The campground features full hookup, 50 amp sites that are fairly level concrete pads with paved roads throughout. Surrounded by woods with great hiking trails but the sites are only partially wooded so we get excellent reception for our Starlink internet. The campground wifi seems to be pretty good, also. My Verizon cell service is hot or miss, though. They also have very nice 2, 3, and 4 bedroom cabins - many with waterfront views of Queens Creek or the York River. Highly recommend.

I was taking a day trip to Colonial Williamsburg and stopped by to check on the status of the new campsites. First, there is still no signage at "B" street to direct you to the new campground. The campsites are essentially complete and the bath-house/community center is complete with the exception of the laundry room. It still needs to be hooked-up, the appliances are still in the boxes. We were told that cable will be available in the sites too. A very nice facility that has been LEED rated. I've attached some pictures. We were in the camping area for about an hour and never saw security. The person I spoke to at the recreation center said that the decision to open the new section was still pending. He suspected that decision was based on a lack of MWR budget which has not been finalized because of the inaction in Washington. He also said the rates were going up to $25 a night for the RV sites. He told us that they were also implementing a new computer reservation system that would be linked to other Navy sites in the area. It was too new to see how well it worked. He said that they would be looking for a camp host once the new section opened. He mentioned that homesteading is being monitored very closely. I did notice that a longtime resident (2+ years) in the small loop at the older park was gone. Those sites are small, anything over 25 feet will be very tight getting in there. All said, this hidden gem will be a very popular spot for those wanting to check out the historical sites in the area. I know I'll keep checking on it.

Great Famcamp.  W/E/S all solid.  Our 40' MH fit well in the assigned site. The campground was pretty empty during most of our stay, but nearly full over the weekend.  The Rec Office staff told me they stay pretty full after Memorial Day.  For those who don't have an RV, at both the new and the older areas they have pretty amazing "cabins" that go all the way up to five bedrooms if I remember correctly.  The Cheatham Annex recreational facility is wonderful, with pond/lake access, views of the York River, hiking trails, and a golf course.  We don't golf so can't address quality of the course.  We were here for Cheryl's William & Mary Reunion and the location is great for access to the college and the other Williamsburg attractions.  Two items kept me from rating the facilities higher.  1. Like so many Famcamps with concrete pads, many were horribly un-level. I don't understand why a base will spend a great deal of money for concrete pads and do such a poor job - you only need a 2 percent grade or a gentle crest in the middle to get the pad to drain.  2. WiFi is poorly set-up.  They use directional antennas which are pointed to the dozen cabins and away from the many RV sites.  Camp Host told me she had addressed it with the base, but did not know if any adjustments would be made.  As others have mentioned the campground is in mostly dead-zone for cell service.  We were able to use our AT&T phones for voice about half the time, but data strength signal was not there.  Mixed opinions on whether this is a good or bad thing :-)

Quiet and family friendly. Sweet bathrooms toilet/shower combinations. Well laid out and easy to park our rig. Concrete pads are not quite level. A lot of birds. Williamsburg is very close.
