    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.

      Chickahominy WMA

      Late Summer Getaway

      We enjoyed the dispersed campsite. Lots of hiking trails and birds and cricket making music. We enjoyed taking a stroll and photos of various plants and insects.

      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.

      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.

      Sun Outdoors Cape Charles

      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.


    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.

"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

    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.
