Wiliamsburg KOA

I was on their reservation site and was noticing they had a couple of different 50/30 amp pull-thru full hook up site. One was located on the "Quiet side" and was for "large rigs". It was also $25 less per night.

Just wondering if anyone had noticed the difference (if any) between the two. Looking at early July so shaded area would be great. $25/night less is very GREAT.

Thanks

The "Quiet Side" has a lot of mature trees and other than FHUs, that's about it. It tends to appeal to singles and couples without kids. The other one has FHUs, a pool, play area, etc. and draws families with kids. You can't share the facilities. I really enjoyed the "Quiet Side", except when the thunderstorm hit in the middle of the night. Then both places lost power for about 30 minutes.


    Agreed - never stayed in the other half, but the Colonial side gets pretty lively during peak weekends. But it has more young kid activities, so it makes sense.
    We used to camp there twice a year for trips centered around kids spending most of the time in Busch Gardens. Staff has always been friendly / helpful and overall experience has been good.
  • Check out American Heritage. You may like it better.
  • The quiet one is the first one you come to from I-64 on Newman Rd. Called KOA - Colonial Central. The second one is 500 yds. farther down on the same road and is called KOA - Williamsburg. I didn't call it the quiet side - the OP did.
  • Not sure where the "quiet side" is. We stayed in the Colonial section, site E-3. Level pad, patio, a little close to the neighbors and on the road to the rest of the sites, so it was a little busy. We'd probably stay there again. I'm guessing it's not the quiet side though.
