The Story Behind Our Name Anvil
Anvil Campground is a four-generation family business rooted in history and craftsmanship. Our name and symbol, the anvil, 
honor our family’s blacksmithing heritage.
From 1929 to 1935, our great-grandfather and grandfather played a vital role in restoring Colonial Williamsburg, crafting original wrought ironwork – from tools and locks to hinges, gates, and more.
We’re proud of our deep ties to Colonial Williamsburg and love sharing our family’s legacy with you. Visit our General Store to see a blacksmith display featuring items like those made by our family.
Don’t miss our original 1920s Soderfors anvil, crafted in Falun, Sweden – a town renowned for its anvils since 1200 A.D.

“Our experience at Anvil was absolutely fantastic! The campsite itself was clean, well-maintained, and offered all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. Whether we were exploring the scenic surroundings or relaxing by the fire, everything was perfect. The natural beauty of the area made it a peaceful and relaxing retreat. The staff at Anvil truly made our stay unforgettable. They were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to accommodate us, ensuring that we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality made us feel right at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be returning! Service: 5/5 - Location: 5/5”

“Awesome place! First off the staff is INCREDIBLY helpful and will go out of their way and/or drop whatever they're doing to assist in any way or answer any questions. I'd give a 6th star for hospitality if I could. Showers and bathrooms are super clean and you don't feel the "yucky" that some campground bath houses offer. Gameroom was a blast & a really nice touch! Pool table, Pop-A-Shot, and Cornhole were our favorites. Complimentary coffee every morning... also a nice touch. See the theme here.. Oh, also a 10-15 minute drive to Busch Gardens and Colonial Williamsburg. Like I said, awesome family-feel campground! - Rooms: 5/5 - Service: 5/5 - Location: 5/5”
