If you want to set down roots befor setting out to explore, the town of Williamsburg has a half-dozen RV parks and campgrounds.
Gardens provide colorful accents in season.
Two excellent campgrounds are available close to the park. Visitors are invited to lend a hand as costumed carpenters reconstruct outbuildings. If you're traveling in a mini-motorhome, as I was, in the spring or fall, you migh find parking space on South Boundary Street at the edge of Colonial Williamsburg. But your best bet in the summertime is to park in the large lot outside the visitor center and hop aboard one of the shuttle buses for the short ride to the Historic Area. The only way to really explore Colonial Williamsburg is on foor.
