Best time to visit York River State Park
Spring (April to early June) and fall (late September through October) are the most comfortable months for visiting York River State Park, with mild temperatures, lower humidity, and active birdlife along the tidal marshes. Summer is warm and humid with afternoon thunderstorms and peak trail use, so arriving early helps with parking for larger rigs. Winter stays mostly open for day use and offers quiet trails, though trail conditions can be muddy after coastal storms. Shoulder seasons also tend to have better availability at nearby full-hookup RV parks in the Williamsburg area.

Nicholas was wonderful to work with. We felt very comfortable with his instructions. Definitely recommend him for your future camping adventures!!
Karen W. - Nov 2024
Nicholas was excellent with communication. He gladly answered all my questions without hesitation. The camper REALLY has all you would need for camping, including hand soap, dish soap and body wash. He hooked it all up for us so when we got there all we had to do was unpack. There were 5 of us and I thought we would fit without issue, however, it was tight. But we did not spend much time in there so it was ok. I would (and likely will) definitely rent from Nicholas again. We had a great time.

Experience with the camper was great! It was as described and prepared (clean!). Communication was great with the host as they were always available. Would recommend booking this camper!

How to get to York River State Park
The park entrance is off Croaker Road at Exit 231B from Interstate 64, about a 15 minute drive from Williamsburg, 45 minutes from Norfolk, and roughly 2.5 hours southeast of Washington, D.C. RV drivers should note that the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel and Monitor-Merrimac Memorial Bridge-Tunnel on I-64 prohibit propane cylinders over certain sizes and restrict fueled equipment, so check VDOT tunnel restrictions before traveling from the south. Access roads inside the park are paved but narrow in spots, and the main day-use lot has limited long-vehicle turnaround, so trailers are easier to stage at nearby campgrounds. Richmond International Airport (RIC) and Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport (PHF) are the closest fly-and-rent options.
