"But there are many sites available. A lot of the amenities are already available. Dog park, shower house, store, children's play area and they can fill your propane tanks for you."
"We had beautiful views, a lot of space, didn't feel cramped or crowded. Plenty of open and wooded areas to explore. Store scoops ice cream! Plenty of kid activities."
"we stayed here to get closer to friends on Thanksgiving, my son enjoyed biking in the campground, it has 5acre lake that allowed for fishing, small playground and pool (closed due to weather) clean laundry"
"Well cared for landscaping, nice lake, level parking spot with concrete patio. WiFi is fast and cable tv is available. I would recommend this camp ground."
"Tons of cottages have replaced the coveted waterfront tent sites. Several configurations are offered including studio, one and two-bedroom."
"But at only 4 and 5 I thought it best to ease them in by renting a cabin but still have the camp atmosphere. This location was PERFECT!"
$32 - $130 / night
"this was a very large campground with level pads for RV's, picnic tables at every site, a bathhouse near a covered picnic area and a beautiful board walk to the beach. "
"They have a big driveway and offer plenty of room to spread out.
The restrooms/showers are very nice! Very clean, offer great privacy and the air conditioning keeps it nice and cool."
$50 - $150 / night
"Great campground away from town. You can take a day trip to the water park or the OBX or just hang out at the campground. Soundfront sites are awesome."
"There is a little tiny beach nearby & it provides a beautiful view in during sunrise/sunset. There is not much else to do in the area but it is about an hour drive to the OBX so not too bad."
$21 - $36 / night
"There are picnic tables and fire pits at each site, however my picnic table has a very very warped bench. But it makes no difference to me as it is only me, and I have my own chairs!"
"I have spent my childhood here and I am excited to share it with my kids. We hike here when visiting grandparents. Chesapeake Public Park’s does a great job with events and education at NWRP!"
$25 - $92 / night

$20 - $60 / night
"Luckily, the camp store was open until 8 so I had plenty of time to get a place to stay for the night. It was a great view of the sunset and the whole area was pretty quiet."
"This location is great for that."
"Concrete pad and fire pit, along w Trex style table and chairs were the perfect addition to the site. We used them all weekend. So much nicer than the traditional wooden picnic tables."
"We stayed at a premium site which provided a fire ring, a picnic table, and 3 chairs on the paved site. The landscaping is very well kept."
RangerThey claim to be a camping resort. Well, their definition of resort and mine are different...The grounds were very well-kept. Their property is Right on the beach and has direct access. Nice sandy beaches. There is a freshwater shower at the entrance to the beach so that you can rinse off when you’re done. The bathhouse was nice and clean. The shower area is co-Ed. They have a cute little play area for the kids, and had scheduled fun activities throughout the week. (some required an extra fee) Office doubled as a little camp store with some basic groceries, cold drinks, and souvenirs type stuff. All of the staff that we came in contact with were extremely friendly and helpful. They have a really nice pool area with zero entry and two small waterslides for the kids. Plenty of chairs on the pool deck, and a small area of shade where you could eat or get out of the sun.They had sites for RVs all the way to tents. We splurged this time (heat, salt, and sand!) and opted for a camping cabin.(I somehow forgot to take pictures of the cabin, but it is identical to the one in my Arkansas review… Except no TV. I really thought there was a TV… But no matter, we didn’t miss it.) The camping cabin was basic one double bed one set of bunkbeds, there was air-conditioning and plenty of room. A nice swing on the covered porch. Picnic table, grill, and fire ring. The cabins were very close together, but it wasn’t an issue. This campground also offers deluxe cabins which look like your typical Beachhouse type rental. We were visiting on the holiday, I had looked into tent camping over the Fourth of July weekend and they wanted $150 a night for a TENT site. Yeah, I don’t think so. The beach at the Outer Banks is lovely, it’s not commercial and trashy (like I would describe Myrtle beach) and as far as I could see everyone on the beach was good about observing social distance, and Nobody crowded each other. We stayed three nights and had a wonderful time. Overall we will definitely stay here again. Oh, dogs are welcome year round on the beach, only restriction being they have to be leashed. They are also welcome at the campground and there is a dog play area and a dog bathing area.
TravelerWonderful spot away from crowds but close to beach. Tent, RV or “ tiny cabin” options. Clean, quiet and pretty. Canal runs around campground that gives you access to Back Bay. Pool and playground. Small store. Super friendly staff. Love it there. 5 minute drive to Sandbridge. 15 to Va Beach strip. Level ground but water collects with heavy rains- to be expected at he beach.
I think pets are OK. Good showers.
LegendThey don't call this the Cape Hatteras KOA Resort for nothing!! This family friendly campground has SOMETHING for every interest!
We have several family members/friends who would never camp tent - which makes this is the campground for this purpose! We are not normally KOA campers, but to be able to stay in the same space as family - and for them to have beds and Aside from tent/RV sites, there are "deluxe cabins" or tiny homes, log cabins, raised cabins etc. This is a KOA - so the spaces are tight and close together, but for this trips' purpose, it was fine.
Similarly, if you have people who would never swim in the ocean - they have you covered! There is a large pool - a double waterslide, a hot tub, a kids pirate playground, 2 enormous jumping pillows, volleyball, horseshoes, basketball, tetherball, etc.
This KOA is directly on the beach - you never have to get back in your car if you don't want to! There is a super boardwalk with a bathhouse right off the beach, outdoor shower area (which is SO nice) and even a fish cleaning station for the fisherpeople in your life. Your four-legged friends are not left out - they have a dog pick up station too!
The ocean front campsites even offered covered picnic tables - which for us is always a big win! We love having an extension of our tent because OBX weather is a little unpredictable and summer - well, we can expect an afternoon thunderstorm. We also liked the choice of camping on the ocean side or the sound side. There are benefits to both choices - is it more important to you to camp with the shortest walk to the beach? Is it more important to camp where you can watch the most beautiful sunset from your tent?
We had wonderful weather and were so thankful for the proximity to the beach. We caught a beautiful sunrise one morning - and usually we are the sunset chasers! Our weather was excellent and the ocean water was about 74 degrees - refreshing - yet warm enough to play in! A strong recommendation if you need some amenities for your camping experience!
Side note - my ECLIPSE EQUINOX hoodie was amazing as a wet sunshirt this trip. Not only did I wear the shirt on the SUP but my brother in law loved it as well! I actually prefer this shirt as a swim/sun shirt rather than for hiking now that I tried it in the water. I did not like the way the hood came over my face when I fell in. It took me a minute to figure out how to get it off my face. Yet, my brother in law loved the sunshirt and wore it with a hat on the SUP - said the hood was his favorite feature!!
GuideGreat KOA park with one row of dunes to cross to the ocean beach that depending on your site is only about 5 min walk. The park is well kept with clean bathrooms and showers. The have laundry and a very nice camp store with groceries, camping essentials and gifts. Sites are level with full hookups including cable that worked well. Wifi is marginal but they reported they have equipment on order to improve. We had spot along the dunes with covered patio with picnic table and a fire ring (no barbeques). The beach is wonderful. Great restful destination. We will definitely return.
GuideWe camped in site 364, deluxe patio pull thru. Concrete pad and fire pit, along w Trex style table and chairs were the perfect addition to the site. We used them all weekend. So much nicer than the traditional wooden picnic tables. Trolley runs every 20 mins or so to free beach area and along Atlantic Ave. $4pp over 17yo. Giant water slide, 2 very clean pool areas w a lot of seating, jumping air pillow and bike rentals. Tons for kids to do. Tonight we made and launched rockets. Overall, an excellent visit. One complaint is that people don’t seem to teach their children campground etiquette. We had kids run thru our site all the time. That was annoying, esp during meal time.  Overall, we highly recommended visiting this KOA!!
RangerWe stayed over Christmas so as you would imagine, it was very quite. Its true oceanfront so you hear the waves from the van. Firewood and Ice available at the campstore. The sites are very close together with picnic tables. Note: no fire rings. If you wish to have a fire its BYO ring which must be up off the ground. The amenities are nice, loads of full hookup sites. Great location. Expensive park. Friendly owners. Contact-less check-In was easy with a pre-prepared pack.
RangerThe Virginia Beach KOA is a nice place to stay. Plenty of things to do every day. This is a newly renovated KOA, and they added a lot of new sites. Also a new pool with a lazy River. We stayed at a premium site which provided a fire ring, a picnic table, and 3 chairs on the paved site. The landscaping is very well kept. There are some sites that have plenty of shade, but a good amount of them don’t. If you are a family with kids, this is definitely a KOA for you to check out. They provide you with a schedule outlining all of the events they will be having that week. There was a day where a few food trucks visited, including our favorite, a Rita’s food truck. They had live music most nights, which is always a hit or miss, but still fun. They have a dog park for your furry friends. One of the best parts of this KOA is the bus service that runs from the campground to Virginia Beach proper. It even takes you to the VA Beach Aquarium, which is our favorite. The bus allows you to bring all your beach gear and runs well into the evening. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay at this KOA and would definitely return.
LegendWe werent able to stay here because on arrival we found out that not only do they not have designated tent sites, but that tenters arent even allowed! Very disappointing. That being said, RV campers will be very happy to stay here. There are two loops, the south loop is older with many trees and shade and more space between sites, the northern loop is new and treeless and open with sites close together. However, both loops have direct access to an incredible extensive strand of premier beach right on the ocean, with the protection of a natural sand dune barrier. There is a bathhouse and central MWR clubhouse as well. The south loop does offer basic bunk camper cabins as well, and there are full fledged cottages north of the north loop at Dam Neck; however, as mentioned, no tent camping at all! Hence my knocking the rating down a star.
This campground is on a Navy base near Virginia base, so you do need a military connection to make use of any of the recreational facilities including the campground. But the base MWR has extensive recreational equipment rentals, and you would have access to other typical base amenities
TravelerThis is a great campground right on The Back Bay. Concrete sites with full hookup. Nice pool & bath house. Owners very nice. Close to Virginia Beach & Sandbridge. Pet friendly.
