Directions - Camp Hatteras RV Campground in NC

I am heading down from MA and was wondering what is the best route to the Outer Banks. Should I drive I95 to Richmond VA and then take I295/I64 East or should I take Rt13 all the was through Delaware...

We now avoid most of the Tidewater area (which is congested & includes tunnels where you are supposed to stop your RV before entering for inspection).

We take Exit 263 off 64 to the James River Bridge - a bit of stop and start getting to the bridge but less stressful than dealing with speeding trucks on 64! Then we connect again with 17 which takes us to the Chesapeake Expressway and onward to OBX. I think it's about 6 miles longer than going through the tunnels, but a lot more pleasant.
