    Several RV campgrounds serve the Elizabeth City region, with options extending toward Virginia Beach and the Outer Banks. North Bayshore Campground provides level full hookup sites with access to Back Bay waters. Outer Banks West-Currituck Sound KOA features 244 sites with water and electric hookups, operating seasonally from May through November. Virginia Beach RV Resort accommodates large motorhomes with 50-amp electrical service and sewer connections, though reviewers note the absence of overflow parking beyond a 4-hour limit. Kitty Hawk RV Park offers water, electric and cable hookups directly across from beach access. "Sites are a little close, but everyone we met was very friendly," noted one camper about the Virginia area parks.

    Navigation to these coastal campgrounds typically involves moderate traffic during summer tourist season, with advance reservations strongly recommended. Most parks maintain year-round operations except for the Outer Banks KOA which closes during winter months. RV sites range from $60-130 per night depending on season and proximity to water. Full-service amenities vary considerably between locations - Virginia Beach KOA provides multiple pools, mini golf, and a shuttle service to beaches, while Kitty Hawk operates without shower or restroom facilities. Military personnel have exclusive access to several additional options including Sea Mist RV Campground and Little Creek MWR RV Park, both offering full hookups with 50-amp service. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the region's developed campgrounds.

      OBX Campground

      OBX Campground was one of our favorite stays! We spent 14 nights in Site 25, a spacious back-in site with a gravel pad, grass, and beautiful views of the pond and sound. Having no neighbor on the driver’s side made it feel wonderfully private.

      The campground is peaceful, quiet, and tucked away from the tourist crowds. We enjoyed watching ducks daily, spotting deer in the mornings, and stargazing at night. I felt completely safe walking our dogs at 5 AM.

      Water pressure was good, sewer access convenient, and Starlink worked beautifully. AT&T had full bars. Our 50-amp electrical service wasn’t working when we arrived, but maintenance fixed it the following day.

      Laundry was affordable at $1.25, and there were two dumpsters, a playground, dock, kayak launch, and even a historic cemetery. No fire rings, so bring an approved raised fire pit.

      Dogs are welcome, although there isn’t a dog park or pet waste stations. Watch for sand burrs in the grass! The office dog, Beau, was a bonus.

      The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the location was convenient for exploring the Outer Banks. We loved it so much we tried to extend our stay, but they were fully booked!

      Outer Banks West - Currituck Sound KOA

      Holy DRAMA

      This is a long one! Here we go. My partner and I travel for work, we went out of our way to move to this location based on reviews saying this is a great place. We have paid in full for the whole stay which is about little over 2 months. We have been here approx 2 weeks give or take. We work night shift. No activity during the day. Simple easy. Not our first campground by any means. At first, we were excited to experience the amenities and such. Now we’re uncomfortable to try anything out. Why you ask? Situation: first day we move in, we end up next to what seems like the literal only other long term or possibly even permanent resident on the grounds. My service animal alerted me to a trigger, which she left the front door of the camper before we walked out. Recalled her to me once we saw that the perm resident (our neighbor) had what presented as an aggressive dog. (Husky maybe?). Within not EVEN 5 minutes of this event, someone was at our door- instead of asking what is going on we were immediately accused of her running around off leash I guess? We had just woken up from sleeping and it was evening time, time to go to work. Instead of arguing or even offering up ANY facts related to the situation I simply said got it thanks and the interaction ended. I’m thinking to myself well damn. Okay. A week or so maybe goes by? Leash in hand VISIBLE -at the door my dog steps out, I step out behind her- same time same situation. She walks ahead of me to where she will relieve herself, I ask for her to come back next to me, she recalls- neighbors dog loses its mind again. I look up at neighbor and say “just go ahead and call man, I get it”. She calls. This time THREE employees are driving on carts to our site, at this point we’re already leaving for work. I knew it was coming, figured they would for sure ask what’s going on this time. They don’t. The older woman accompanied by two men behind her- simply says “you have been told before you need to leash your dog”. We reply yes we understand. Nobody asks for a description of the events, what’s going on, or if this even happened. The female voice is raised and hostile presenting towards both of us. The man behind her approaches our car and peers into the vehicle I’m not sure if to intimidate or what, but that action was also very ineffective in diffusing the situation and instead very intimidating. And now making us both VERY late to work as this is an extra 15 minute drive to the hospital in which we work at. Seemingly, the word of this permanent resident is all they needed to full on accuse the two of us… of what? I am not sure. My animal has resided all over the country in countless locations, all while working and we have had no issues to date. At this point I am still remaining silent as the female worker continues to educate us on our alleged actions. My concern is that there has been ZERO questioning, only full on accusations. We’re highly uncomfortable at this point. They say “we will be speaking with the general manager tomorrow”, Which also felt threatening. I’d like to add that given the whole situation this wouldn’t matter but since this is happening: earlier that morning after work I had stopped by the front desk, to ask about a package I thought that I sent to the wrong place, but didn’t. The same female was there. I remember thinking wow she’s actually so rude. But I brushed it off. Now looking back she must have some kind of prejudice toward myself and my dog. I’ve never been threatened / accused so one-sidedly in my entire career such as what has been happening at this campground. Our resolution was to request moving sites, however nothing was asked of us WHATSOEVER. As stated we were not given any opportunity to speak on the situation. Will attempt to update review whenever we speak with management of this location. Warning is to be wary of implicit bias in staff, potential favoritism, and inconsistent / unfair conflict resolution, aggressive long term campers, and lack of communication from staff.

      Beechland Campground

      Most spots are permanent campers.

      Good place to tour the area from. Great wifi. Usually empty spots. They have a pool. Zero shade. Full hook up. Average spacing. Clean gravel camping spots.

      Davis Lakes Resort

      The Little Canping Gem of Suffolk

      We stumbled across Davis Lakes Campground last year when we brought our camper down to visit our son and grandchildren. Originally, we planned to stay closer to Virginia Beach, but after finding Davis Lakes, we decided to give it a try. We were lucky enough to get site F28 right on the lake, and we enjoyed it so much that we came back this year—and even booked the exact same site.

      After reading some of the other reviews, I wanted to share our experience because it was very different. Yes, there are some rules regarding dogs at the beach, but they never interfered with our stay. We enjoyed walking our dogs every morning around the campground and lakes, and it was a wonderful way to start each day.

      The beach itself was clean, had plenty of nice chairs, and the AquaGlide was an absolute blast. We spent 5–6 hours a day swimming, and surprisingly, the beach never felt crowded.

      One thing that really stood out was how fair the prices were. The campground store was stocked with essentials, and unlike many campgrounds, the prices were very reasonable. If you forgot a loaf of bread or wanted to grab a pool float, you didn’t feel like you were being gouged. They also have a cute snack shop, a spacious game room, and an impressive movie selection, making it a great place to spend a rainy afternoon.

      The campground itself was clean and very well maintained. Although many of the sites are seasonal, they were neat, well cared for, and nothing like some seasonal campgrounds where sites become cluttered or run down. It was obvious that both the staff and the campers take pride in the campground.

      The nightly rates were very reasonable, and while there is a visitor fee, we found it to be completely fair considering the amenities. We had an amazing time with our son and his family, and the campground played a big part in making those memories.

      Davis Lakes isn’t a luxury resort, and that’s part of its charm. Its focus is on beautiful lakes, swimming, friendly service, and providing a relaxing camping experience. It reminded me of the kind of campgrounds I grew up enjoying—simple, welcoming, and centered around making great memories.

      We’ll absolutely be back. If we lived closer, I’d seriously consider getting a seasonal site myself. In fact, my son is even talking about buying a camper just so he can keep it nearby and enjoy Davis Lakes more often. Many of the employees and seasonal campers are locals who return year after year, and I think that says everything you need to know about this place.

      First Landing State Park Campground

      Great for Beachside Camping

      This campground was a great location for a Virginia Beach vacation. It’s in the Chesapeake Bay so the water is calm and there is a large sandbar making for shallower waters which is great if you have littles in your trip. It was calming to stay there and spend everyday at the beach. There is hiking and biking paths as part of the park as well. I love that the shower rooms are not gendered so you don’t have a long wait to use one. I went for July 4th and was able to watch the fireworks right from the beach. So that was awesome. Overall good stay.

      Rocky Hock Campground

      It’s just OK.

      It did say that the laundry area was renovated and I was highly disappointed to see that it does not show any signs of remodeling. The shower house is tolerable but also I will NOT be using the area. They are not strict enough about kids and the crap they leave everywhere. There is a house near the property where they keep dogs out in a kennel all day in the summer heat who bark (understandably) all day. That’s not their fault. They’re strict about where you stay long term and won’t let you near the pond which is also underwhelming. The front desk girl is very sweet and welcoming. Would have liked to have the same opportunity to be by the water as everyone else. We travel for work- all stays are long term.

      Virginia Beach KOA

      Will not stay again due to the fighter jets overhead.

      The fighter jets are so close to the campground. Extremely loud. You can not have a conversation on the phone when they fly over. Hurts my ears. Especially in the middle of the night. Twice. Thundering roars then the high whistle woke me disoriented with sudden fear it was a missile coming in. On the other hand, the pool area and lazy river were very nice. Bathouse was kept clean. Constant property care and maintenance were daily kept nice. Trolly for an added fee to the beach from campground. Nice kid and family activities to do at the campground.

    Tips from RVers

    Pack extension utilities: Virginia Beach KOA and other rv parks near Elizabeth City require proper setup.
