    Hidden Acres Campground

    Quiet nights at Private Campground

    Stopped off at this campground after finding it while passing though just before Labor Day weekend. While it was the last weekend for the pool before its closure and while they were in the process of working on some of the plumbing at the campground, it was a well put together campground which was very impressive.

    Located somewhat remotely from the larger community and near several places of interest along the road, this camp was a great stop for a tent camper like myself. They offer a basic tent site for $26 with nice bath houses. For full connections the price does rise slightly offering both both 20/30 amp and 50 amp connections for RVs.

    The roads around the camp are gravel and a little bumpy but the sites themselves were pretty level and grassy for tents which was pretty nice. Sites are located far enough off the road that road noise is minimal.

    I did also notice they have cabin rentals available and a pretty nice little store with lots of options for those who didn't bring everything with them.

    Chippokes State Park Campground

    Beautiful Plantation

    Awesome things to see here! It’s been a working farm since 1619 with beautiful gardens and livestock. The mansion and outbuildings are pretty cool as well.

    Restrooms were not very clean. Each time I went to the ladies room, the door was propped wide open, and when I went to brush my teeth in the morning the counters were covered in moths and bugs and gnats. Yuck. The showers were ok.

    Ice is $3 and you can grab that from the camp host if it’s after 4pm which is when the store closes. It’s cash only, exactly change. Wood is $6 and there’s a metal box - pay on your honor.

    The beaches were very nice. You’re on the Cobham Bay vs. right on the river and in the dead of the summer, the water is sooo unpleasantly warm. You can wade out at the very least 100 yards and still be less than knee-deep, water still hot. The access to the little beaches are short but moderately steep, especially with lots of beach gear or strollers. It also seems to get washed out so watch your steps.

    The little visitor center near the water access has cold drinks, souvenirs, ice cream, etc. They obv. accept credit cards. You can bring your dog into this area. There’s also a little wildlife info center and restrooms in the same buildings. There are also areas for day use and a good sized parking lot near the water access.

    Straight across the river is Jamestown and Williamsburg, which is cool. I think I was told it’s about four miles across. That being said... those are your closest grocery stores and you have to take the Jamestown Ferry to get there. There is a Dollar General near the park, for odds and ends. Just make sure to stop in advance for what you need because you won’t find much in Surry.

    Stopped at the Surry Seafood Co. for lunch and it was ok. Food and service was mediocre, but there was a nice water view from the deck. Was looking forward to stopping for some shrimp to cook that night from Colonial Seafood market but after walking in, I walked right back out. It was so unclean and didn’t smell fresh at all.

    We took a beautiful drive around the plantation. The cabins look great and we’ll definitely try those out next time. There were corn fields and soybeans for miles. Such a great park due to its history.

    Campsites themselves were pretty nice; not too close together. Our site had the tent pad down away from the picnic table and fire ring which was kind of nice. It was really shady, too. Room for hammocks.

    Each site has a picnic table, fire pit, tent pad, lantern pole. Verizon service was great.

    Point Lookout State Park - Temporarily Closed

    Great State Park in SoMD

    Just got back from a weekend trip there. It was a great State Park with fishing, trails, and boat docks. We stayed in the hoffman loop in our 20 ft TT. That loop was pet friendly, shaded, and right next to the playground.

    The most sites were off the road and secluded. Ours was a little over grown and not a straight shot to the landing pad. Fire wood was well seasoned for $6/bx and ice $3/bg at the camp store.

    American Heritage RV Park

    RV Camping

    It was a nice clean campground but is definitely an RV resort. We stayed in a cabin that had two bunks and a full size bed, with a bathroom, microwave and small dorm size fridge. The pool was relaxing but the park set up reminded me of a typical American trailer park. Not my cup of tea but it was nice.

    Belle Isle State Park Campground

    BELLE ISLE STATE PARK

    First time staying in a travel trailer at a state park. We booked the day of, because we were being indecisive, and there were a few spots available.

    We came in after hours, and the guide at the entrance told us where to get our packet (from the kiosk in front of the camp store).

    It’s very easy to find everything here, and the camp ground had both pull-throughs and back in spots. Plenty of separation between you and your neighbor for some privacy. No issues with the water/electric/dump station. Almost no cell service to speak of, but that’s the beauty of going to a place like this. Very kid and pet friendly. The community showers and bathrooms are very clean.

    Lots of bugs and mosquitos. Plan accordingly.

    Both the visitor center and camp store have plenty of souvenirs, but not much besides that. Just know, if you don’t plan well enough to bring something, you’ll be traveling 20-30 min out of your way to reach anything besides a gas station (nearest grocery store/Walmart is 25 min away).

    Overall, it was a great first experience in our RV at this state park!


Guide to Morattico

Cabin accommodations near Morattico, Virginia offer access to the Chesapeake Bay watershed with its extensive network of rivers and creeks. Located in Virginia's Northern Neck peninsula, this region sits at low elevations between 10-30 feet above sea level with humid summers regularly reaching 90°F. Winter temperatures typically range from 30-50°F, making year-round cabin camping possible though seasonal availability varies by property.

What to do

Fossil hunting at beaches: Point Lookout State Park provides opportunities to search for fossils along its shoreline. "This park has a sad history and is probably haunted, but it's got ocean bay views, fishing, and historical recreations to visit," notes one visitor to Point Lookout State Park.

Kayaking and canoeing: Cross Rip Camp offers complimentary watercraft for guests. "They provided kayaks, canoes, sailboats, beach chairs, bikes and so much more," shares a camper about Cross Rip Camp, highlighting the access to Rappahannock River activities without needing to bring your own equipment.

Crabbing from dedicated piers: Multiple waterfront campgrounds provide crabbing opportunities. "We had never been crabbing and this beautiful rv park has its own crabbing pier. There is boating, hiking, watching wild life and so many pretty birds," reports a visitor to Thousand Trails Chesapeake Bay.

Historical exploration: The region contains significant Civil War sites and colonial-era attractions. Point Lookout features "a Civil War museum, as well as Fort Lincoln" according to a camper who appreciated the historical aspects beyond just the natural setting.

What campers like

Waterfront cabin privacy: Many campers appreciate the secluded waterfront settings. "Cabin 24 at Westmoreland State Park has waterfront views and large yard space," notes a visitor to Westmoreland State Park Campground, appreciating the combination of privacy and water access.

Seasonal activities: Different seasons offer unique experiences at cabin campgrounds. "We rescheduled to this weekend after our original reservation weekend was flooded out 2 weeks ago... This weekend was Halloween weekend. It was quiet with a couple activities planned," shares a camper about Point Lookout State Park.

Well-maintained facilities: Cleanliness ranks high in camper satisfaction. "Bath house was very clean. Water view from campsite," reports a tent camper at Cross Rip Camp, highlighting how even basic facilities contribute to the overall experience.

Varied accommodation types: The range of cabin options suits different needs. At Bethpage Camp-Resort, "they have multiple sites for RVs, tents, camping cabins, yurts, and nicer more fully equipped cabins with bathrooms," allowing visitors to choose their preferred comfort level.

What you should know

Bug preparations essential: Seasonal insect activity requires planning. A visitor to Belle Isle State Park Campground warns, "We had super mutant mosquitoes and horse flies. They were resistant to citronella candles, essential oils, and bug spray with 40% deet. We only found relief in the water."

Limited grocery options: Shopping for supplies requires advance planning. A Point Lookout State Park visitor shared, "No internet access at the campsite... It's a complete dead spot for Verizon anyway. Not good if you're working while camping."

Seasonal flooding concerns: Some campgrounds experience periodic flooding. "Sites are basically in a swamp. I think we were there before the mosquitos. I'm sure with all the standing water they'd be everywhere," cautions a camper about Point Lookout State Park.

Varying cellular coverage: Connectivity differs significantly between locations. "Sprint service was no good anywhere near this campground. We were an hour away before getting any kind of cell service," reports a visitor to Point Lookout.

Tips for camping with families

Water activities for all ages: Multiple swimming options keep children entertained. A camper at Bethpage Camp-Resort shares, "We love this place! It has everything you need and more! Golf carts, mini golf, ice cream shop, friendly staff, restaurant, water park - amazing, spacious lots, very secluded, splash pad - fun for small children, small beach, kayaking available."

Scheduled activities: Many campgrounds offer organized events. "This is a huge campground and lots to see and do," notes a visitor to Thousand Trails Chesapeake Bay, emphasizing the variety of options beyond just the cabin itself.

Playground access: Several campgrounds feature playground equipment. A Belle Isle visitor recalls, "There are a couple playgrounds, swing sets, and tons of open areas for children to enjoy. The trails are nice and fairly well kept."

Safety considerations: Family-friendly environments are maintained at many locations. "The rangers are amazing and it is very family friendly. Love going here very good prices and a nice little quiet beach to enjoy," notes a Belle Isle State Park visitor.

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategy: Choose sites based on shade and bugs, not just views. An RV camper at American Heritage RV Park advises, "We like the upgraded sites. But they lack shade. It was extremely hot that weekend," highlighting the importance of seasonal considerations when booking.

Utility connections: Full hookup availability varies widely between properties. "This was our first trip in our first TT (33ft), we're complete rookies! We had site 68 which had plenty of space for the TT, truck and car to park," shares a new RVer about their Point Lookout State Park experience.

Seasonal occupancy patterns: Some campgrounds have significant numbers of seasonal residents. At Rainbow Acres Campground, "This campground is about 3/4 year rounders. People who rent a campsite and build porches and party sites up and come visit on the weekend or stay the summer," which affects the overall camping experience.

Site privacy considerations: Tree coverage and site layout impact the camping experience. "70 acres of open space and timber... Sites are a bit close together but I have seen worse," notes an American Heritage RV Park visitor, emphasizing the trade-offs between amenities and privacy.
