Rating: 7 8 9 9 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: At this camp the sites were close but the way they were arranged it worked. Camp host was attentive and caring. Office person was helpful and kind. Camp is well maintained and shaded in most of the sites. The only problem we had was when we were leaving the base the right turn out of gate 5 had over hanging tree and broke the front of my awning. These trees should be trimmed to allow motorhomes to use the turn lane with out receiving damage. Other than that is a very pleasant experience. - BrianOMurchu
We stayed here during our pack and load out, since it was the closest park to our home. It was clean and well-cared for. Some of the sites, including ours, were too close for privacy. In addition, water is shared between two sites, necessitating the one on the right (us) having to run 50' of water hose under the unit to a pedestal almost under the awning. Finally, some of the full time and seasonal residents have let their units deteriorate or have surrounded them with tarps, tents, etc. This is always a detractor for us. We would stay here again if we had to be in the area, but likely not for vacation. - bigdipper

Rating: 1 1 1 4 2 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Worst ever dont let the photos on the site fool ya it's a complete mess dirty unkept 99% of the campsites were residents most were full of junk first and last stay there I do not RECCOMEND needs alot of MAINTENANCE there is a big ugly view of a camper graveyard on ur way in - Robin Coppage
Upon check-in, the staff was most pleasant and gave us a good insight to the rules and regs of the campground. We drove to our assigned camp site and found that everything was not as "nice" as the web site depicts. We found that there was a lot of mud, and mulch debris all over the site. Didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but every time we went into our camper, we dragged this mulch stuff in and it got all over our sheets. We had to constantly sweep out our camper. We were told that all we had to do to re-enter the park was to drive up to the gate, enter our code and drive in when the gate goes up. We left for a bit on Saturday the 28th. When we returned, there was a "gate guard" sitting in a golf cart at the gate. As we slowly drove by, she asked "Can I help you?". I replied "NO THANK YOU" and attempted to get up to the key code unit. She yelled at me to "GET BACK HERE". When I backed up to see what she wanted, she commenced to give me the "3rd Degree" about who we were, were we camping there, etc. She wasn't even nice about it. When I showed her our pass, she opened the gate - I DID NOT NEED HER HELP TO OPEN THE GATE!!! The Restrooms appeared to be neat and clean. However, in the men's side, of six (6) stalls, only two (2) had toilet paper and one of these unit was plugged up with a big nasty looking mess. Went to take a shower and found the privacy door kind of falling off the hinges, to which I had to lift it up to close it. The women's side didn't fare much better. The shower stalls do not have space to leave you dry clothes, or dress without getting wet. Kind of defeats the purpose of taking a shower and putting on dry clothes. Lastly, the rain came. Our site flooded to the point we had no other option but to pack up and leave. Both my wife and I were absolutely soaked by the time we got the camper loaded and on our way. Chesapeake Campground DOES NOT GIVE REFUNDS. We WILL NOT visit this camp site again. - James3
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Chesapeake Campground »We ended up leaving within an hour of our arrival. We set up in a very unleval space that seemed to be crawling with every type of bug including yellow flys and hornets. We could have possibly overlooked that, except the 30 amp breaker could not handle running our 1 air conditioner. We called to see if they could move us to another spot or fix the breaker and they told us they didn't have any other spot to move us to. Since it was a 90 degree day, I asked for our money back since they couldn't accommodate us. They refused to refund my money because the last person in that site had no problem so the problem was mine. We left, found another rv campground and had no problems there, which proves their breaker was defective like I thought. Overall the park seemed to be run down and it looked like the sites had seen better days. The positive is that there was not a lot of road noise. - AZAlice

Rating: 6 8 7 8 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: The location of this RV is perfect! That is the reason that I would rate this RV park so high. Sadly, the grounds are just merely satisfactory/poor. The grass was very high, many sites are in wet areas that sometimes flood (they have sump pumps in several locations around the park), the Water/Electric area did not have any site markings to know where to park. However, I would absolutely stay here again because the area around The Colonies and the location is wonderful. - RVThatFamily
First saw this park when looking for a place to watch our son's carrier depart on deployment. Tried to stay here another time but no space was available. Area is like being in a large park in an urban environment. Very quiet even though you can see the traffic backed up going into the tunnel. Close to the beach but not very sandy. Not a lot of amenities at the park but plenty of stuff to do nearby. No WiFi or cable. Local tv channels are strong. Satellite works on some sites but trees affect others. Solid Verizon coverage with good speed. Very friendly and helpful staff. Nicely stocked store. Bugs a problem after dark, bring repellent. - glenthompson
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for The Colonies RV & Travel Park »This park is too expensive for what it offers but it is all about location, it is the best option in a very dense population area . No wifi, no pools, no frills but a clean comforable park with a view of the bay from both sides of the coach, a well stocked store and nice shade from beautiful Live Oak trees. The best choice when visiting the Norfolk area - Bruce and Janette

Rating: 7 8 6 8 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: I stayed in December, so park empty, but I suspect would be pretty full in warmer weather. Keep in mind even "beachfront" sites do not allow you to see or hear the ocean - many dunes, brush, and trees in the way. Would definitely hear some traffic noise if at a site adjacent to Shore Drive. Have to cross a boardwalk to access the beach. Once you are at the beach is very nice. About 1 mile of beach in front of state park, another 2-3 miles along private homes and hotels. Plenty of sand for playing or resting. Bath houses clean but old, must be ok with a few bugs/spiders. No heat or A/C. Interior roads kind of narrow and windy - might be a challenge with a large rig. Fairly basic park overall with few amenities - main draw is the beach. Good amount of trees and bushes between sites provide shade and privacy. - DawgDen
All reviews before mine about sums it up. There was a little noise from the military base that is next door. They were doing exercises with hovercraft that was quite loud. - pilots48
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for First Landing State Park »Water & electric hookups were good, but there is no sewer. Narrow interior roads are paved, reservable sites are not. Our site was somewhat soft sand and not the best for parking our rig. There were lots of sand spurs, and even with a rug, we constantly tracked sand & spurs inside. There are boardwalks over the dunes in a few spots that take you to a beautiful beach. The people in the office were super friendly & helpful. We received several OTA TV stations. You cannot see the water from your sites. I would not recommend this campground for big rigs and do recommend staying away from the boggy area in the middle of the campground. Restrooms & showers were very dated, but clean with paint peeling. This was pretty expensive for a state park & we would try somewhere else next time. - R&S

Rating: 7 1 8 10 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: On 1 October, 2017, Ocean Pines and SeaMist RV Parks, associated with Naval Air Station Oceana, will do away with weekly and monthly discount rates. The daily rate will remain at $25.00, but a week long stay will increase to $175 from $154, and a month long visit will now cost you $750, up $240 from the monthly rate of $510. While the campground manager has continued to maintain the appearance of the park in great condition, keeping the grass cut, sidewalks trimmed and gutters cleaned out, as well as doing all of the check-ins, check-outs and managing a long wait list, the park does have some problems. The handicapped access ramp to the office, laundry, restrooms and showers has been roped off for over a year due to collapse of the deck area in front of the handicapped entrance to the building. The night entrance to the building, which is protected with a keypad, has been roped off for the same reason for the past three months. The wifi worked great last summer when a new system was installed, but this year, the system keeps dropping the signal, requiring that you log back on every few minutes. It is a shame that they see fit to raise the rates, but won't put money into making needed repairs to the entrance gate and the RV park office building. - glsurratt
Mainly permanent residents at this "campground". Extremely difficult to get a reservation and now I know it's because there is hardly any turn over. Not a campground atmosphere. Your sewer would either need to be hooked up before you get completely on your site because it's in the middle of your site...because this used to be a mobile home park. There are recreation facilities (outdoor water park-in season, movie theater, bowling lanes) nearby but you'll have to go on base for these. - beachcamper5
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Ocean Pines RV Campground (Military FamCamp) »Adequately spaced, level spaces; most with some shade. Well kept - regularly mowed and maintained. Staff very friendly and helpful. Secure gate. Only down side is the number of people who ignore the posted 5 mph speed limit (posted a total of 6 times around the park). Approximately 50% of people (including Oceana Police) exceed the speed limit by dangerous amounts. Use caution with children, pets or walking/running with headsets! - 2 Harleys and a Beast

Rating: 9 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This is the best kept secret in Virginia... The camping area is all the way in the back of the park. There was one other RV besides us, so we had our choice of spots. I think they have 12 spots available. All spots are packed gravel in among the trees, back-in, shaded, with a LOT of room.. Check in at the maintenance office on the end of the street. The park office has weird hours and is closed on weekends. Just pull in and find an open spot, catch them on Monday. There are no reservations, so its first come first serve. The park is mainly soccer fields, located in an upscale residential area, even though everything is completely open to the public, we had no concerns about security. The sites didn't have sewer hookups, but there is a dump station across from the Maintenance office.
The Camping area is all the way in the back of the park, past the soccer fields. Its on the same street as the park maintenance office. - WaiterView more reviews and a full list of amenities for Gosnold's Hope Park Campground »Campground is located in suburban area of Hampton at the rear of a 100 acre city park. Park office is located nearby and staff are very helpful and friendly. Sites are fairly grass/gravel with large evergreens providing shade. Electric is 30amp. Water & electric are padlocked until you register. Arrive before 4:30 otherwise you will have to camp rough for the night/weekend unless you can catch the caretaker cleaning the showers, or driving through the grounds. HRT (bus) stops 400 yards from campground cnr Clemwood Pwy & Little Back River Rd & covers Hampton, Virginia Beach & Newport pretty well. $3.50 buys all day pass. $5.50 allows use of ferries & express buses. Park locked after dark, however road through Campground left open (turn left at 7-11 on Back River Rd) - which creates traffic - especially in the early morning. Nearby Air Force base (other side of bay) also can be noisy - but only during daylight hours. Great place to stay if you have business/visits to do in Hampton/Virginia Beach area & don't have other transport. - Sandy Potter

Rating: 8 9 8 7 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Nice, friendly park. Nice employees. We had power spikes which kept blowing our fuses, but the moved us to a new site. We didn't go to the new site because a hurricane was on it's way and we just decided it wasn't worth it. The man that showed us to our site showed me where the sewer was. Well, it was not really a sewer hole. I don't know what it was. When unhooking, I noticed the overflow and a different sewer hole (the right one). So we had to move a full hose over 6 feet. Yuk! We didn't stay the full 5 days because a hurricane was on the way. They were very friendly about canceling and refunding the rest of our stay. Very nice people. - Marjorie9869
We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were super friendly and efficient. The facility was well maintained. It was close to the beach (especially using the city trolly system with a stop right in the CG). Our only complaint would have been low water pressure during peak use times. It dropped to nothing on a couple occasions. Otherwise, this was a great facility with more amenities than we could use in our 5 day stay. - Road Kandy
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Virginia Beach KOA »A very nice campground that is a trolley stop for a service (fee) to and from Virginia Beach. The staff was very accommodating when I asked to be moved to a shaded site. The site they gave us was a pull through water/electric only but was a huge site with plenty of shade. The "premium" sites toward the front of the park have concrete patios and furniture. They are nice sites but not as shaded or as large as some of the W/E sites in our section (sites 114-132). One of the pros for this CG is that there are plenty of activities for all ages including a pocket park activity area, arcade, bike rentals and two nice pools. Another observation is that there is always several staff riding through the park on golf carts to pick up trash, check out sites, escort new arrivals to their site, etc. This is the most I have seen CG staff available for questions or issues. The biggest issue I had with this CG is the restrooms/showers. The restrooms had several broken toilets and what was not broken was not very clean. The showers were also dirty and need some updates. One note is that there is a military base nearby and the CG is in the flight pattern for jets that occasionally take off. It did not bother us and I enjoyed the show, but I can see where others might find it distracting and too loud. Overall a good CG but my rating is based on the restrooms. - Big P-Daddy

Rating: 6 7 8 10 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Check in went very well with a very customer focused staff person. Our free time at the park was limited because of site seeing. We choose full hookup without cable. We were assigned site 196 and it was long enough for our 40ft MH. The site was very wide, so we parked our toad next to the MH. The water pressure/flow is awful. There is barely enough water to take a shower. The roads are very narrow and not very big rig friendly. We had to back out of our pull-thru so that we could make the turn at the end of the street. We had good over-the-air digital TV reception, but the free wifi was not usable. The only negative that we had was the jet noise from the Naval Air Station just down the road. When we arrived jets were landing every 3-5 minutes. The next day the number was greatly reduced, if it hadn't we would have left. It's not just jet noise it is deafening jet noise, so loud you have to close you ears. If we came back again we would get a super site, they are much nicer. But because of noise and narrow roads, we will not be returning. We camped at Holiday Trav-L-Park in a MH. - newbies2016
Check in went very well with a very customer focus staff person. Our stay was to facilitate our visit with the birth of a new grandchild so our free time at the park was minimum. We choose full hookup without cable. We were assigned site 126 and it was just long enough for our 32ft 5th wheel. The park was nearly empty except for a few long terms so I parked our truck in an empty site next to ours. We had good over-the-air digital TV reception and free unlimited strong Wifi connection during our entire stay. We were able to steam video to the TV without any issues. The only negative that we had was the jet noise from Oceana Naval Air Station just down the road. It was interesting to watch fighter jet above our heads but the noise was 24/7. We would come back again but next time we would get a super site, they are much nicer. - Land Wanderer
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Holiday Trav-L-Park »Very large park, maintained very well. Beautiful lanscaping and several sitting areas throughout the park. A style of camping for everyone. Tents, cottages, rental units and tents available as well as full sun and shady sites. ALso the super sites wich have concrete pads, grill and fire pits. A great stocked store, very nice laundry, 4 pools, restuarant on site until Labor Day and many other amenities. You are next to a Naval Air Station so do expect noise from the jets, which we enjoy. Narrow interior roads, needs more light and better signage. The only park where we have tayed in 8 years of FT where they offered recycling containers. What we both found quite odd, no fire-pit, or truck rims for fire. Just build it on the ground. - S A K
