The Cape Charles region of Virginia's Eastern Shore provides several RV parks with varying amenities and site configurations. Thousand Trails Chesapeake Bay in Reedville offers water, electric, and sewer hookups with waterfront access and boat-in options, operating year-round. Grey's Point Camp in Topping provides 50-amp service, full hookups, and big-rig friendly sites from April through mid-November. Thousand Trails Virginia Landing in Quinby features similar amenities but operates seasonally from April through October. The Colonies RV and Travel Park near Fort Monroe has 30-amp service with water and sewer connections on concrete pads. "Sites are leveled concrete with room to park our towed vehicle while still attached to our Motor Home. We also had a level concrete patio with a picnic table."
Access to most Cape Charles area RV parks requires traveling across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel when approaching from the south or west. Many parks fill quickly during summer months and fall weekends, necessitating reservations weeks or months in advance. Sanitary dump stations are available at most facilities, though only some sites offer full sewer hookups at individual sites. Cell service varies considerably throughout the region, with one reviewer noting, "Service is spotty with T-Mobile home Internet." All reviewed parks allow pets with proper documentation, and several offer dog park areas for off-leash exercise. Propane fill service appears limited, with most campers needing to bring adequate supplies or locate filling stations in nearby towns. Cape Charles RV campgrounds provide convenient base camps for exploring the charming coastal communities and natural attractions of Virginia's Eastern Shore.

Camping in high winds
This campground was very enjoyable. I spent a lot of time at the fishing pier, learning to ID birds I had never identified before. Brown pelicans were everywhere near the sunken ships. I also talked to the Hawkwatch people for a bit.
My campsite was far enough from the bathroom I couldn't hear the door slam, but since I was the only one in the F loop, that wouldn't have mattered. Since the loop was so empty, it was an absolute pleasure.
Had the campground been full, I would have felt too close to the people in tents in the sites next to me.
One great thing was that there weren't tent pads so we didn't have to worry about how to fit two tents on to one tent pad.

Diane R.TravelerMachicomoco State Park Campground
Beautifully Quiet
Note to Self: No Primitive Site reservations...EVER. I love this park. It's situated far enough from the busy traffic noise...beautiful Virginia city of Hayes. When I arrived, it was such a scorching day and there wasn't nearly enough tree cover to shield my tent from the "son of Hades". Suffered heat exhaustion almost to the point of death...Literally. Night was my only respite. If it hadn't been for the wonderful camp attendants who came to my rescue, it would've been an utterly failed experience. Bless their hearts. Other than that, this was a great training experience for an old Novice camper. Now that I'm a bit more practiced, I'm going back 😁, armed with knowledge and more confidence.

Machicomoco State Park Campground
Nice Campground
The good: super clean and new restrooms / showers. The entire parking immaculate. Stayed at site 12. Offers water views and shade. Site 13 is similar and is probably the most ideal site.
Cons: zero privacy. The sites are basically scattered around an open grassy area and fairly close together.
Be aware: sites are not vehicle accessible. Need to carry your kit 50-75 yards.
Jeremy R.GuideNewport News Park
Beautiful scenery
Our stay is going to be the 21 days that are allowed. In that time, I have been on many nature walks with my dog. Very enjoyable, very well maintained. The only thing I did not like is the bathrooms. I have seen a cleaning lady come through, but I think it is primarily for the sinks and toilets. The shower curtains are moldy, lots of spiders. The shower pressure and temp are great. All in all, it is affordable and very peaceful.

American Heritage RV Park
Friendly, Convenient to Colonial Sites
We enjoyed our stay at American Heritage. We were offered a change of our assigned site if we would prefer to be closer to the bath house. We preferred staying where we were until we discovered that the electric hook-up was far enough away on the grass that we couldn't reach. (We have a little Scamp 13 and the plug was just a little too short.) We had a pull-through site(every other row was pull-through).
It had a full hook-up. The cover on the electric post was missing rivets, so we had to put it back in place ourselves, but there was no problem with the electric. We used 30 Amp for the RV and plugged in our backup battery to the 15 amp plug. The water pressure was good and consistent. We've had problems at other RV sites. We used the sewer connection with no problem at the end.
We did not have an umbrella at the picnic table and seriously considered buying a screen tent because we stayed for 4 days and it was HOT. Some sites had more shade. In fact, that's one thing we'd change next time. The pool was wonderful, the showers were clean and we used the laundry with no problems--they take quarters and washing and drying one load cost $5.00.
The staff was very friendly and responsive. Overall, we had a great stay and would stay again.
