Great place for families

Me and a friend came in on motorcycles and stayed in the primitive tent sites and had a great time. Stayed a few weeks before Halloween and there were plenty of festive activities going on.

A great place to stay for anyone with kids.

We stayed in water view 13 and it was a the perfect site. A little far for the kiddo to be at the park but the view was great, the Wi-Fi worked well, and the pull through site was perfect for our camper (not the best at backing up).

Gorgeous views

Our first trip here and we loved it! We stayed in water view site 10. WV sites 1-7 have great views and some shade. WV sites 8-20 are more open and close together. The black tank clean out is near site WV15 so avoid that area. They pump it out daily. There are beach grasses between them but still close. Waterfront sites looked great. There are about 6 I think. There is a beach area to swim but also 2 pools. The original pool from when this was Tall Pines Harbor is a traditional rectangle. The new one is larger and also has a large splash pad. There is a jump zone and a rec room. There are fishing piers and boat rentals. They also have vacation rentals if you don’t have your own. They have laundry and a cafe and of course playgrounds. The office / store was nice. You can rent a golf cart and you might need it to get from the WV sites to the pool. Not real far but with stuff to carry it’s nice to have. A band played in their pavilion on Sat. night. It was Jeep weekend so other activities were happening. Some of this campground is seasonal and some transient. It wasn’t noted which were which in their map. The bath house is not close to the water view or water front sites. We visited Chincoteague which was a cute town. Eat at Ray’s Shanty but skip Capt Es Hurricane Tiki Bar. However, visit the Saxis Island Museum which was very interesting. If it’s closed you can call a number listed on the door and someone may come open it for you. Everyone was so incredibly welcoming and nice.

Overnight

Seems like the campground is geared for longer stays. Unfortunately, I was only there one night, and it rained. The campground was badly flooded. Showers were fine, snack bar helped, since I could not grill outside in the heavy rain.

Tall Pines

I work service & Repair on Rv and Campers. So in and outs tall pines is one a few decent locations. Stay on the main road to there do not go off on the side roads. Davis island down the road to the bay is a nice town but no attractions

First Class Operation

Our RV Garmin GPS and Waze brought us in on the back roads at Accomac versus keeping us on US-13. If the Temperanceville address doesn’t work, replace Temperanceville with Sanford, VA, per their website. Roads were OK but a little narrow. US-13 to Saxis Rd/695 is a much easier and direct route to the CG. Once we arrived, check-in was easy. We had requested site 50, back-in with FHUs but were told since the park was fairly empty, we could take a golf cart and go choose a site. We declined as 50 was in the pines, but still had water view. The seasonal weekenders had gone home, and we preferred the larger, more private area behind the site to walk our dogs. We were guided to Site 50, which was an easy back-in with the utilities nicely placed. Tall Pines is a large campground with a lot of nice amenities. One of the really nice points about this CG is that they cater to short termers as well as seasonal. There are a wide variety of sites to choose from and other than some of the seasonal sites, they are not stacked on top of each other. Our site was back by the cabins, which were all in excellent shape. Tall Pines hosts activities for the northern part of the Eastern Shore plus there are 3 pools and a horse riding area. Satellite could be iffy for sites near 50 plus other areas due to the trees. There are very nice water view sites and some of the premium sites have cable. We got two bars on both AT&T and Verizon. Their free WiFi worked about average for this sized CG. You have to drive 10 or so minutes to find amenities. Along with a very friendly and helpful staff, the CG also had propane and a nice stack of firewood for$5. The laundry room was very clean and fairly priced. Tall Pines has a first-rate onsite store. The store has t-shirts, bread, milk, etc. but also a wide selection of RV accessories to include faucets& water pumps at fairly reasonable prices. This is a great place to stay and check out Chincoteague and Assateague Islands, without having to stay in the higher priced tourist area.

Great Family Campground

Tall Pines Harbor is a great place for a family with kids. Management was very welcoming — the park does themed weekends throughout the entire year. Surprisingly enough, the campground was very quiet for being booked the entire weekend. Pets are welcome, everyone was friendly, and there is a lot of socializing opportunities at this park.

lots of amenities

beautiful campground with all the amenities you can ask for. We stayed the last week of July, there were only a few tent sites and half of them were under water (it did rain all week) Many of the RVers seem to be regulars. the pool was beautiful and there are lots of activities. I recommend this place. Mostly for RV but we tented and had a good time

Very Family Friendly!

Their website is very informative. They have RVs for rent, cabins for rent, pull throughs and tent spaces. They are on the water and have a beach area as well as pools and very nice bath houses. There was plenty to do, friendly campers and we enjoyed our entire stay there. They have events throughout the year and the Saturday night we were there a DJ at the beach. We plan to make this a traditional yearly trip my son and I had so much fun!
