I stayed in one of their cottages during October. The cottage is furnished, has a queen size bed and 2 sets of bunk beds; nice living room/dining room combo, full kitchen with dishes, pots, etc.; TV; fireplace; outside deck with grill; and screen porch. There is also a firepit for enjoying the relaxing fire and evening quiet. You have to bring your own firewood. There is a grocery store about 6 minutes away for convenience. Trails, access to the Chesapeake Bay, Spanish moss. manned Visitor Center, privacy and security.

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.

Kiptopeke State Park Campground
Awesome Yurt Camping
This was our first time staying in a yurt at Kiptopeake State Park. We love staying in the yurts at Virginia State Parks because they are always an affordable, easy way to camping without having to set up a tent or spend the extra money for a cabin. The ones at here are $75/night. This one was awesome! It is hidden down a long walkway from the parking area and is very secluded. The one we stayed in, Yurt 4, only has neighbors on one side. It comes with two picnic tables, a water spigot, fire pit, grill, a big deck around the yurt with rocking chairs, and a refreshing breeze coming off the bay. Unfortunately, the way the yurt is situated, none of that breeze gets inside the yurt and it was very hot inside. Especially if staying here in the summer, I would suggest bringing some fans or a portable a/c for a more comfortable nights sleep. The bathrooms are farther away than I would like with little kids. You have to walk through to the tent campground loop to get to them. Even with a couple negative things about it, I think this is the way to stay here at Kiptopeake and I am already planning our next yurt trip here for next year!

Love this park so much! The beach is amazing. This time we discovered the dog-friendly beach, which was less crowded than the main one. I always like to go out and watch the sunset over the bay, it is magical!

Nice and Very Quiet!
This is a really nice campground. They have on-site bathrooms/showers as well as laundry. It's mostly RV spots but they also allow tent camping and have a couple cabins available for rent. They have a dog park area, playground and pool. The store has items for purchase and a gathering room. They do potlucks and get togethers often for the campers. The staff is very friendly and super helpful. You can purchase firewood and propane on-site. Each spot has a concrete padded area with a picnic table and fire pit. It is a little ways out of town in any direction bit it's very nice and quiet out here as you're surrounded by woods. They also have a fishing pond and trails on-site. This really is one of the best campgrounds I've ever been to! Definitely recommend.

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 Surry

Cabins near Surry, Virginia offer woodland accommodations within a region characterized by coastal lowlands and marshes along the James River. Rental options range from basic one-room structures to multi-bedroom cabins with expanded amenities. Most cabin sites sit on flat terrain with elevations rarely exceeding 100 feet above sea level, creating easy access conditions for campers of all experience levels.

What to do

Kayaking along waterways: At Chippokes State Park Campground, the James River provides paddling opportunities with varied water conditions. One visitor recommends: "Definitely recommend following the river inland and kayaking through the marshland."

Fishing at strategic spots: Chickahominy Riverfront Park offers productive fishing areas after dark. A camper notes: "There is a dock down by the boat ramp. It says no fishing. Wait until dark and ignore the sign. There's a light down there that draws the insects. The fish are everywhere."

Explore historical sites: Fort Eustis Recreation Area provides convenient access to military history. According to a review: "BTW 'GREAT' Military Transportation Museum. The commissary is fantastic, didn't go to the PX."

Beach activities: Surry cabins provide a central base for reaching coastal areas like First Landing State Park Campground, where one visitor shared: "The camp ground is beautiful and the people are friendly. Our game ground was surrounded by the forest but your in walking distance to the beach."

What campers like

Swimming options: Many cabin locations offer pool access during warmer months. At Anvil Campground, "Kids Enjoyed the Playground & Arcade. Safe & Secure Spot. %100 will visit again."

Privacy between sites: Chickahominy Riverfront Park provides spacious campsites with natural surroundings. A camper reports: "Spacious campsite with amazing views. Could take kayaks straight into the water from our site. Close to Jamestown and many other activities!"

Wildlife viewing: Isle of Wight Family Campground offers multiple nature encounters. However, one camper cautions: "This camp is infested with bugs and wolves. Mr. Wolf came right on up to try and eat my dogs food."

Accessibility to multiple attractions: Cabin locations provide access to regional highlights. At American Heritage RV Park, a visitor appreciated that it was "Close to sites and activities, and also grocery and pharmacy. We recently booked a site for another upcoming weekend trip, and will do so again in the fall."

What you should know

Train proximity: Some cabin locations have railway tracks nearby. At Anvil Campground, "The cabin we stayed in was about 15 feet from the tracks. Not really a complaint from us since the kids thought it was awesome. So, just a heads up on the trains. They are loud and they are often."

Weather considerations: Coastal storms can impact regional camping. At Thousand Trails Williamsburg, "We arrived on opening day (March 19, 2021) for the season. They had unfortunately been a victim of the rain and the main road to the campground had washed out."

Limited services in Surry: Basic supplies may require advance planning. Kings Creek notes that their small camp store has "very limited food. They do have fishing gear and ice."

Variable water conditions: Water access points range from clear to stagnant. At Isle of Wight Family Campground, one camper observed: "The 'lake' more like a stagnate pod that smells like a swamp."
