Naval Weapons Station Yorktown - Cheatham Annex Recreation Area

This is such a gorgeous place! We stayed here a couple of times in the fall of 2019. Jones Pond is beyond words especially at dawn. Can’t wait to visit again!

Beautiful place! The cabins are spacious but a little dirty. I don't think it's been deep cleaned in a while and the floors are gross on your bare feet.

I selfishly dont want to share this secret - but my family and I have been visiting this gem for years. The cabins are wonderful for the price as well as the location (close to everything but far enough away). In the summer you can enjoy the water and visit many historical locations and Water Country for the kids. Winter time is the best when you can enjoy the fire place after visiting Busch Gardens Winter Wonderland. If you want a beach the Yorktown Beach is very close, not over crowded and safe for the kids. Pass on the crowded Virginia Beach options - NWS is the best for an affordable and safe family getaway!

Great RV park if you want to just get away. Laundry facilities are clean and serviceable. Cement pads look fairly new with no cracks and are very level. My RV spot had a brand new water faucet installed so none of those constant drips while the water is on. Dump station also included a car vacuum which is a nice Touch if ya want to clean out your tow vehicle. Like others have stated, the WiFi and cell service isn’t great but my RV antenna was able to pull in about 25 digital TV channels. Great place and I know my family and I are coming back!
PS....I do miss hearing the National Anthem and Retreat being played over the giant voice like they do here. The little things you miss when being retired.

Awesome camping location along the James River. Scouts had a good time despite the rainy weather.
