Sunset Beach Resort

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Sunset Beach Resort sits on the Chesapeake Bay in Cape Charles, offering RV sites that accommodate rigs up to 75 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections. The campground operates year-round and provides both drive-in and walk-in access options, with reservations available for planning ahead.

Sites here are positioned close together, creating what reviewers describe as a social atmosphere. Danny P. calls it "very clean and family friendly." The campground features direct bay beach access within walking distance of most sites, along with an on-site pool, restaurant, café, and arcade. Bath houses receive consistent praise for cleanliness, though some seasonal amenities like pools may require maintenance during off-peak periods.

The resort provides standard amenities including restrooms, showers, drinking water, WiFi, and a dump station. Pets are welcome throughout the property. The location serves as a base for exploring the Eastern Shore region, with several other camping options nearby including Chesapeake Beach KOA and welcome center facilities.

This campground works well for RV travelers seeking bay access and social camping, particularly families who appreciate the combination of beach proximity and on-site dining options.

Good, could be great

The beach here is amazing. The amenities are less than. It's mid may and the pools are green sludge and the beach bathrooms are out of order. There are no family bathrooms either. The restrooms and showers were clean and in working order. The hotel does have a store, café and arcade. Our campspot was a short walk to the beach which is nice.

On the bay

Too crammed for our liking. Know lots of people that stay here and love it, seems like more of a party campground. Beautiful grounds.
