Several state parks and private campgrounds near Fort Monroe, Virginia provide furnished cabin rentals with varying amenities. First Landing State Park Campground offers cottages with queen beds and bunk beds, full kitchens with dishes and cookware, TVs, fireplaces, and outdoor decks with grills. Virginia Beach KOA features cabin accommodations with air conditioning, refrigerators, and comfortable furnishings. "We loved our cabin. It was immaculately clean as if it were newly built. The door to the bunk room allowed us to tuck our toddler in early and keep her undisturbed. The A/C, TV and fridge made the stay very comfortable," notes one visitor to Anvil Campground. Most cabins include outdoor fire rings and picnic tables for cooking and dining.
Rustic cabins and premium log cabins are both available throughout the region, with prices typically ranging from $75-150 per night depending on size and amenities. Fort Eustis Recreation Area offers five cabins at $75 daily with access to military base amenities, though a military connection is required. Pet-friendly cabin options exist at several locations including North Bayshore Campground, which provides "tiny cabin" accommodations close to Sandbridge Beach. Sun Outdoors Cape Charles offers both rustic cabins and fully-equipped cottages on the Chesapeake Bay. Reservations are essential during summer months when waterfront properties fill quickly, with many requiring deposits and minimum-night stays during peak season.
Most cabin rentals provide beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between properties, from basic microwaves and mini-fridges to full kitchens with cookware. American Heritage RV Park cabins include "two bunks and a full size bed, with a bathroom, microwave and small dorm size fridge." Visitors staying at more rustic cabins should bring cooking supplies for outdoor meal preparation. While many campgrounds have on-site stores with basic provisions, selection is often limited. The Eagles Nest cabin at Davis Lakes Resort "had plenty of room for 5 adults and 2 teenagers. The cabin was very clean and offered everything that you would need. The gas grill and fire ring was nice."

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.

Nice amenities
Enjoying this campground. Close to all the attractions. Incredible staff, super friendly. Pool and game room are wonderful.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Guide to Fort Monroe
Located at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, cabin camping near Fort Monroe offers year-round access to both beachfront and wooded sites. Most campgrounds in the region experience mild winters with daytime temperatures rarely below 40°F and warm summers averaging 80-85°F. The surrounding waterways create a distinctive coastal environment where camping facilities often straddle the line between forest and beach settings.
What to do
Beach activities at Cape Charles: The shoreline at Sun Outdoors Cape Charles provides direct access to calm Chesapeake Bay waters. "Great place to camp, fish, crab and relax by the beach and collect seashells. It has 2 beautiful beaches, one that allows pets and the other does not," notes one visitor.
Lighthouse exploration: Historic Cape Henry lighthouse stands near Fort Story Military Base, which hosts camping facilities. A camper at Military Park Fort Story reports, "This campground is located at the Fort Story Navy Base, set in a wooded area not far from a nice beach right at the corner of where the Chesapeake Bay meets the Atlantic. Two historic lighthouse mark the spot!"
Wildlife viewing: Kiptopeke State Park Campground borders prime wildlife habitat. "We come every year because it's on our top list of yearly visits. Wild animals usually pass by often later in the evening, horses, deer, rabbits etc," writes one regular camper who appreciates the natural setting.
What campers like
Privacy levels: Site configuration varies greatly between parks. At Chippokes State Park Campground, "Large campsites. Well maintained. Got last available site & never felt crowded," writes one visitor. This contrasts with more developed properties.
Unique historical features: Some cabins occupy sites with interesting histories. "Stayed at the cabins on the property and it's been well documented that they are haunted. There is a journal/guest log and there are many stories of pennies falling from the ceiling and the rocking chair rocking when no one is sitting in it," reports a visitor to Kiptopeke State Park.
Convenient beach access: Proximity to water remains a primary draw. First Landing State Park Campground earns praise for its location: "We were in site 156 which was right near a boardwalk and a bathhouse. The sites and beach were clean. The park personnel were polite and not annoying."
What you should know
Military connections: Several campgrounds near Fort Monroe either require military ID or border military installations. A camper at Military Park Fort Story Cape Henry RV Park notes, "Clean and spacious...quiet until reveille." Another mentions, "You may hear occasional machine guns and artillery. You will also hear reveille in the morning."
Seasonal booking challenges: Summer reservations require advance planning. "This campground is a resort KOA - those are campgrounds with more amenities. We found that the weekends are very loud as the partiers come out and during the week its quiet great place to camp," explains a visitor to Cape Charles / Chesapeake Bay KOA.
Site selection considerations: Campers report significant differences between site locations within the same parks. "A loop has full hookup where A and B do not. Try and get C loop spots 15 - 21. They're shaded and at the back of the loop," recommends a visitor to Kiptopeke State Park.
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly beaches: Look for gentle shorelines with supervision. At Cape Charles / Chesapeake Bay KOA, "Very large beachfront area with lots of room to spread out. They also have a separate dog beach, where my dogs lived their best life," mentions one camper.
Multiple swimming options: When beach conditions disappoint, pools provide alternatives. "My extended family has been camping here for years. The facilities are great and there is easy access to the beach. Would definitely recommend to any family that wants to start camping or anyone who wants an easy camping experience," shares a First Landing visitor.
Rainy day preparations: Occasional storms affect the low-lying region. "A storm hit right after I got here and now I'm sitting in about 8 inches of water! Good for a night if you just need a stop over, but can't say I'd like to be here any longer than that," cautions a visitor to Chesapeake Campground.
Tips from RVers
Off-season advantages: Winter camping offers value and tranquility. "Prices come way down during the off season. Much of the facilities are closed but they keep open one of their bathhouses. Otherwise it's a peaceful stay in the winter months," reports a winter camper at Virginia Beach KOA.
Connectivity considerations: Signal strength varies by location. "I'm here for hybrid remote work and the T-Mobile signal is nice and strong for my needs, both for work and entertainment. Easy to get in and out of the campground," shares a remote worker staying at Virginia Beach KOA.
Site leveling challenges: Some campgrounds require additional equipment. "The site was half gravel and half grass. The grading wasn't great and the gravel was thin. Lots of water puddles and the grass was swampy," notes an RVer describing seasonal challenges at Holiday Trav-L-Park.
