The Colonies RV And Travel Park

24mi from Chesapeake · 31 sites
Discover the unique charm of Colonies RV and Travel Park, nestled in the historic Fort Monroe, VA, where the beauty of nature meets rich history. After six years of exploring the country in our motor home, my husband and I found our perfect haven here. Fort Monroe is not only surrounded by a picturesque water moat but is also conveniently located near popular destinations such as Williamsburg, Newport News, Yorktown, and Virginia Beach, as well as some of the largest military bases in the nation. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a beach lover, or an outdoor adventurer, Fort Monroe offers something for everyone.
Through our extensive RV travels, we have experienced a variety of campgrounds, which inspired us to create a unique site that caters to the needs of RV owners and tent campers alike. Our campground features thirteen RV spots, each named after one of the original thirteen colonies, complete with individual water, electricity, and sewage hook-ups. We accommodate both 30 and 50 amp connections, ensuring a comfortable stay. Additionally, we offer 10 overflow spots equipped with water and electricity.
For tent campers, we provide ample open and shaded areas, perfect for singles, couples, or larger gatherings, all just a stone's throw from the water.

What a picturesque setting on the river to enjoy a beautiful sunrise & the day that follows. Views of the water, nice sandy “beach” (w/adirondack chairs), level cement pad, power & water, Wi-Fi, warm outdoor enclosed shower, dock and gracious, friendly hosts is what you’ll find at Riverview.
We had a fabulous stay despite the cool weather. Our hosts went above and beyond by not only including us on a boat ride, but also chased down (and captured) our canopy that “took sail” in a gust of wind.
If Riverview is available and you’re looking for a quiet place to hand out…book it! You can thank us later :-)

Fantastic water view-the sun rises are gorgeous. It was a great location for visiting surrounding areas. We really enjoyed just sitting and watching the water! John was very helpful and prompt in answering all our questions. A hidden treasure for sure.
