Review Detail

We spent two weeks at The Colonies Army Camp Grounds on Ft Monroe, VA. We loved it. Although the CG has only 30amp with S/W it is a great place to stay if you want to do Williamsburg, James Town and Yorktown historical sites. A little out of the way, but the base is a treasure trove of history itself. We are sorry to hear that the base is on the close list. We are so glad we went before that happened. We made reservations about four weeks in advance and arrived after the office was closed. There was a list on the door telling us which site to go on and that they would see us Monday. If we had any questions to see the camp host Marv. He is a great guy and answered all my questions about the base and the area. The sites are a little tight, but very nice. It is very restful and quit. After long days visiting the area historical places it was great to come home to peace and quit. If you go there make sure you save time to visit the old fort. It is full of history from the civil war on. They say it is to close in 2009. If you can, go before that happens. As was said in another review, the MWR office does not have any info about the area, but the Soldier & Family Support Center is very helpful. The only place to get on the internet is at the library, that is the only downer in the place. All in all a good time was had by all.
