Virginia Beach, Va

Looking for a family friendly campground right on the beach in Virginia Beach, Va.

    If it were me I would find a camping spot up in the trees within a very close walking distance to the beach... Got spoiled by the Wooded Beach sites in Myrtle beach...

    Being off the main beach makes for better neighbors and you won't have to deal with the foot traffic that goes on 24/7 at these type of places...

  • There are not too many campgrounds on the Beach at Virginia Beach most are a few blocks inland....... Not sure that there are any commercial parks on the ocean.
  • First Landing State Park is just barely inside the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay where it meets the Atlantic. You still get tides & waves, maybe a bit gentler than directly on the ocean. Nice wide sandy beach with just a few campers outside of the day use area. Lots of variety in the campsites, some shady, some not. Options for non-specific or site-specific (few dollars extra) reservations. Easy walk to the beach via boardwalks over the dunes. Probably the best value if you can get by with electric & water, with dump station near park entrance. Easy drive to everything in Virginia Beach.

    Check RV Park Reviews for more info on all Virginia Beach campground options.
