Love to get away with my husband, our kids & our dogs, and explore new areas

Wonderfully Shaded

Stayed a few nights leading up to Memorial day. Our site was a good size, and tent pad was nice. Lovely shaded site, and large picnic table. Did not have to use our popup shade. Downside were the large gravel throughout the site - tough for small dogs and crawlers. Nice 0.7 walk from the campsite to the visitor center to rent canoes! Just a short drive to some other trails. Enjoyed the Cyprus Point trail which you access at the boat ramp section of the park. If you canoe long enough, you'll come across two alligators who live in the pond.

Spring Getaway

First time camping and visiting this park. Campsite was just right for our needs. We were within walking distance of a few trail heads and a short drive to the main office and play ground. Checked out fossil beach and the boat launch at the opposite end. Lovely stay all around.

Just right

Normally we camp with our tent, but we decided to make the trip to check out Natural Bridge State Park at the end of December. Never quite sure what the weather is like we were able to get a one room camping cabin. It was perfect for our family of three plus two dogs. Our toddler was throughout entertained by exploring everything around us and we would have visits by a black cat. Can't wait to go back and check out their tent sites.

Very cold yet accommodating

We went opening weekend, so very early April. We tent with a toddler and two dogs, and it ended up being the coldest weekend ever. 

We had chosen a premium campsite, which had a raised tent pad and electric available. We were across the road from a bathhouse, which was very nice and clean. 

The raised platform made it difficult to stake our tent as it was just a bunch of pine needles in a wooden box. We used our rainfly to help keep our tent from blowing away.

It was nice having the firewood delivered to our campsite, which was super handy during the cold windy weather. 

Our toddler loved the swing set, and it was fun sitting on the pier overlooking Asateague Island.

We managed one night in our tent with 35 degrees and we were able to switch to an RV available for rent. It was nice to have heat for our second night. 

The RV rental had a nice platform with a table and chairs.

Since we were there for Easter weekend, there were some fun activities for the little ones.

Would love to go back in warmer weather.

Night Sky for miles

Reserved a water/electric site only to be near a bathhouse. Traveling with a toddler equals twice the mess.

Site was a decent size because it accommodates RVs. The site was crushed rock, which wasn't ideal but it was quiet even throughout. 

Bathhouse looked like it was fairly new. Loved that the showers were individual stalls accessed on the outside of the bathhouse. 

The night sky was amazing. You could see stars for miles. Enjoyed a nice sunset by the river.

Great Tent Site

First time camping at this state park. Tent site was spacious and very shaded. We camped on the F loop which is tucked away. Site was a quick walk to the swimming beach and bathhouse. If you don't have bikes/don't ride a bike, location is pretty far from camp store and trail heads. 

Loved that we could take our dogs on the south beach and enjoy a beach day with our dogs & toddler. Beautiful sunsets on the bay. 

Bathhouse is outdated, and did not experience any hot water from the showers. Toddler rolling around in sand meant multiple showers, all chilly.

Weekend getaway

This was our first time camping at state park with our dogs and it has been great. We were able to score a campsite with a view of the lake and easy access to the Channel Cat Loop trail. Our tent pad was covered in rubber pieces which made for a comfortable base for our tent, and the separate area with fire pit, picnic table and pattern hooks was awesome. Another couple joined us and there was plenty of room for all four people and three dogs to spread out. Fell even more in love when majority of campsites left on Sunday, leaving peace and quiet all around. Bonus is having the dog only section at the swimming beach, which made for a fun afternoon with our pups.

Nice Getaway

My husband and I recently stayed overnight with our two dogs. The campsites run along a river, which provides great back drop for getting away from the city. Our campsite was at the end of a row, which made it great for taking the dogs on little walks away from the campsite. Nice clean restrooms, and cute little store where you can get items you might have left at home. Staff was very nice. It was a great jumping point to visit the craft breweries in the area & to access the trail at Crabtree Falls. We can't wait to stay again.
