    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    New Point, Virginia sits along the Chesapeake Bay shoreline, offering several waterfront camping destinations within a 30-mile radius. New Point RV Resort provides seasonal camping directly on the bay, operating from April through early November with full hookup sites for RVs and tent camping areas. The coastal region includes additional options like Cross Rip Camp in Deltaville and Gwynns Island RV Resort, both featuring cabin accommodations alongside traditional camping sites. Machicomoco State Park Campground, located about 20 miles northwest, offers a newer camping experience with both electric and non-electric sites.

    Many campgrounds in the region require advance reservations, particularly for waterfront sites during the summer season. Road access is generally good throughout the area, with most campgrounds accessible by standard vehicles. "This is a nice relaxing campground. Seasonal. Very quiet at night and activities on weekends," noted one camper about New Point RV Resort. Water activities are a major draw, with opportunities for fishing, crabbing, swimming and boating throughout the region. Most campgrounds operate seasonally, with limited availability from November through March due to coastal weather patterns and maintenance schedules.

    Waterfront camping represents a significant attraction in the area, with several campgrounds offering direct Chesapeake Bay access. Campers frequently mention the quality of sunset views and water recreation as highlights of their experience. According to one visitor at Cross Rip Camp, there are "beautiful views of sunset and sunrise. Great beach with Adirondack chairs." Bathhouse facilities receive mixed reviews across the region, with newer state park facilities generally rated higher for cleanliness and amenities. The campgrounds near New Point balance proximity to natural areas with reasonable access to small towns, providing both seclusion and convenience. Most campgrounds feature fire rings, picnic tables and basic amenities, though hookup availability varies significantly between locations.

      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.

      Lots of rules, none actually enforced.

      Beautiful resort. Used to come here as a kid 30 years ago. Was privately owned back then and was a little more peaceful back then.

      List of rules broken since I’ve been here:

      1. Underage golf cart drivers.
      2. People walking through others sites. (All day long)
      3. Drones
      4. E-bike and scooters everywhere.
      5. Loud music 24 hours a day.
      6. 2-3 extra vehicles in sites.
      7. Personnel fireworks
      8. People walking around with alcohol.
      9. Bikes after dark.
      10. Golf carts and vehicles speeding around everywhere.

      Plus the bathrooms are dirty, the pools are unsupervised and people claim chairs all day and leave stuff on them. This place was by far the best campground before it was corporatized. It’s a shame because I absolutely love this place. I want to make it a yearly tradition for my family but it’s hard seeing what the place is knowing what it once was.

      Thousand Trails Chesapeake Bay

      Quaint

      One of the nicer thousand trails. The D loop is wide and level and close to everything if you dont want to bring a gold cart or bike. Has a weekend resturant that serves breakfast lunch and dinner. A small shop, pool, park and access to the river. Full hookup back in. A loop is tight and E loop is for long term looks like a nice place to do an annual site. Its 20-30 mins away from everything so think of that when packing. No acolohl sold on site either.

      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.

      First Landing State Park Campground

      Highly recommend!

      So we had just gone in on a day pass to go to the beach and ended up staying two nights. It was that nice. The sites varied greatly in size, but both the sites we stayed in had plenty of room and shade. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained. The beaches were filled with crabs, so if you don’t like crabs it might not be the place for you, but we really loved it there.

      Nice spot!

      Mostly seasonal, people are very welcoming. Only downside was we had no t mobile service and WiFi was unreliable.

    Guide to New Point

    Camping spots near New Point, Virginia offer direct Chesapeake Bay access with water temperatures averaging 75-80°F during summer months. The area sits at near sea level with tidal marshes and maritime forests dominating the landscape. Many campgrounds maintain operational hours from April through November due to coastal flooding risks during winter months.

    What to do

    Fishing and crabbing: At Cherrystone Family Camping Resort, visitors can catch a variety of bay species. "We have a blast every time we come here. There is plenty to do. Pool, beach, fishing, boat rentals, golf, paddle boats, bike rentals, and crabbing. They also have a snack shack that steams crabs," notes Melissa P.

    Water activities: The York River provides alternative water recreation options. "Great place for boating walking and beaching," explains Stuart M. about Kiptopeke State Park Campground. "Virginia has some wonderful state parks and this is one of my favorites. Its got a nice beach, boat launch and a couple miles of hiking trails."

    Historical exploration: Many campgrounds serve as base camps for exploring Virginia's colonial sites. "Close to historical sites," notes Bob H. about Newport News Park. "If you like a campground with alot of trees and water, this is a good place. Numerous great sites to see within an hours drive."

    What campers like

    Private wooded sites: The region offers secluded camping options away from crowds. "Peaceful park filled with plenty of tall trees to stay cool during the summer months," writes one camper about Newport News Park. "Stayed 21 days (max limit) in June and temps at our site (B46) averaged about 5-10 degrees cooler than out side the park."

    Beach access: Coastal camping with direct water entry points ranks highly with visitors. "This campground is well run and kept clean. The beaches are beautiful. The pools are fun for all ages and clean," notes Julin S. about Cherrystone Family Camping Resort.

    Clean facilities: The newer state parks receive consistently positive feedback for their amenities. "Machicomoco State Park is one of Virginia's brand-new parks in a great location on the York River! All the facilities are new and very clean," shares Katie M. about Machicomoco State Park Campground. "I love that the campground bathrooms are all unisex/family bathrooms and there are plenty of them, at least eight I believe."

    What you should know

    Site selection considerations: Many campgrounds have significant variations between sites. "Not a bad spot for camping in the whole park. Short drive to Virginia Beach areas and beach access from the park," notes Daniel F. about First Landing State Park Campground.

    Seasonal variations: Summer brings higher temperatures and more insects to the coastal region. "The campsites were ok. easy to get to. I wouldn't recommend tent camping in the middle of summer - my husband and i both got sick," cautions Grace M. about First Landing State Park Campground.

    Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies widely across campgrounds in the area. "AT&T had 2 bars and 6 MB/s w/o a booster, 3 bars and 8 MB/s with it. There is no satellite coverage due to the heavy tree canopy," reports Ray & Terri F. about Newport News Park.
