We had a really tough visit for a family camping trip! we purchased these amazing attached camping tents that you can put a pop-up in between. We assembled our super tent and quickly realized that the wind was not going to allow us to do anything that we had planned. We then proceeded to have the wind rip apart our central canopy and completely destroy it and forcing us to try to drive the hour and 15 minutes back into Kitty Hawk to try to find a replacement for The center part of our tent. This pretty much ruined the first day of camping. Throughout the rest of the time we ended up having three tents attached to the middle piece that was sunken into sand buckets and then the sand was filled with water to further anchor the legs of the pop-up canopy. This is the only way to have a pop-up canopy at any of these sites. We experienced a full body exfoliationFrom the consistent winds that picked up ridiculous amounts of sand so that all of our kids were sandblasted bright red. Be aware that their showers will not have sufficient light to take a shower after dark. The park rangers are very cool and try to be as helpful as possible. We did not have a pleasant experience. We also experienced a thunderstorm and a sighting of a shark less than 4 feet away from my husband while he was fishing along the shore. I would recommend however staying at another campground and getting a pass to drive along the beach, that is always fun.
This is a convenient place to stay close to the oceanfront if you’re going to be spending time along the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. They have lots of amenities as well as putt-put and several pools.
There are various sections and some of the higher priced sites are very well kept but the newer pull through sites in the rear of the park flooded really badly when we were there and we had constant construction from backhoes and building crews, which took away front the relaxation somewhat. The tent sites are fairly nice unless it rains, which means floating on your air mattress. We had a fairly good experience with our travel trailer but it would have been miserable with a tent setup.
We’ve stayed a couple times prior to getting our camper and have had a good experience overall. The comfort stations are fairly clean but some are nice than others and you don’t know until after arrival if the closest ones are the better ones. There’s quite a division between the fancy side with full hookups and the sites with partial hookups.
This is our home base camping resort. It’s a deeded membership that allows for 14 day stays with a single deed. We’ve stayed a few times prior to owning with friends who sponsored us. There are both paved and unpaved sites with full hookups, and tent sites that feature water and electricity. Bath houses throughout property, and a laundry, community center, two pools, a large pavilion and ball court. We love having play areas for the kids and a dog park for our fluffy kid.
