Reservations are essential year-round, with peak season running from April through October when water activities are most enjoyable.

      Kiptopeke State Park Campground

      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.

      Machicomoco 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.

      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.

      Friendly staff. Good location. Lots of noice near the big road. Laundry room could use a clearing. Bathrooms en toilets are very clean. Not much room between the spots with lots of tall weeds.

      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.

    Guide to Yorktown

    Camping near Yorktown, Virginia offers access to both historic sites and natural waterways where the York River meets the Chesapeake Bay. Most campgrounds in this region sit at low elevations under 50 feet above sea level, creating humid conditions from late spring through early fall. Tent sites often feature sandy soil that drains quickly after the region's frequent summer thunderstorms.

    What to do

    Kayaking on the York River: Rent kayaks at Machicomoco State Park Campground to explore the calm waters where Native American tribes once traveled. "Short walk from parking to sites. The interpretive area was really fun to explore in the evening during golden hour and beyond. Great view of the sunset over the river," notes one visitor.

    Historical exploration: Drive 15 minutes from Chippokes State Park Campground to reach Jamestown Settlement. "We've stayed here pretty often as it's only a few hours from home and near everything in Williamsburg, Virginia. About 5 miles away is the ferry to Williamsburg...its free and usually a highlight of the trip for the kids!"

    Fishing and crabbing: Access dedicated fishing piers along the Chesapeake Bay waterfront. "Nice spot on the river. Inside tip. 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."

    What campers like

    Waterfront sites: Tent campers appreciate the riverfront locations at many parks. "Spacious campsite with amazing views. Could take kayaks straight into the water from our site. Close to Jamestown and many other activities! Our only regret is not staying longer."

    Clean facilities: Kings Creek earns praise for its well-maintained shower buildings. "Both tent loops have close access to a nice clean bathhouse, and there is good proximity to the base golf course and a really nice outdoor swimming pool. A great fishing pier nearby extends out into the York River."

    Shade coverage: Mature trees provide relief from summer heat at several campgrounds. "Love Chippokes! Feels country-esque but also like you're on a plantation! Beautiful trails. Great (paved) campground! Feels like you're a million miles away from it all."

    What you should know

    Train noise: Some glamping close to Yorktown, Virginia comes with unexpected sounds. 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."

    Reservation windows: Most state parks allow bookings up to 11 months in advance, with prime weekend dates filling quickly during summer months. County parks often have different policies: "Reserve 12 months out, full payment required. 90 day maximum stay."

    Military base access: Some campgrounds require proper identification. "It is located on a military base so access is limited to those with base access. The base is more of an industrial area with lots of traffic but some of the cabins sit back on the water so noise is not an issue."
