My wife, small dog, and I recently stayed, in our RV, for 5 days at Monroe Bay Campsite, in Colonial Beach, VA. I have to say this was the best campsite we’ve ever stayed in. The staff, and campers were all super-friendly. Everyone waves and says hello. There was a beautiful beach, on a bay, close to the mouth of the Potomac River, with swans, and a bandstand, where we saw a fun band on Saturda...

The staff, and campers were all super-friendly. Everyone waves and says hello. There was a beautiful beach, on a bay, close to the mouth of the Potomac River, with swans, and a bandstand, where we saw a fun band on Saturday night. The bathrooms were spotless and included washers and dryers. On a 1-5 star basis, I would give them a 10.

We have been here for four years now. We love to come here, especially me. I love to fish and crab and hang out with my friends. If I could live there then I would but for now it's a great weekend escape for me.

A fun place to go to. Most people leave their trailers there year round, so there is a pretty close nit community of friendly people there.

If you love fishing, drinking a few beers, sitting around a fire and listening to good music around good people, this is the place to go. The store located on the property and run by the owners makes some incredibly good food. You'd be wise to try them out while there as everything on the menu is great. My only minor complaint would be that the plots of land you rent are quite small. So some of your neighbors are almost within arms length.
