Just take your time. My wife is from Ohio so we tow that trip from Virginia Beach to the Beaver Valley exit which is 9 hours and another 15 minutes after we get off the turnpike we are home for her. I never exceed 65 and usually around 62 since that is my sweet spot towing mileage wise. Plenty of stuff to do at the beach send me a IM if you need any info about the campground you are staying at or the beach. Been here 33 years and love it!!
this will be our 3rd year in a row going out there.....we always have such a good time. Since we have the 7 month old we weren't going to go this year but as it got closer we couldn't resist. :D We actually stay south of va beach at north landing beach campground off princess anne rd. Probably not the greatest campground but the kids love the beach area and with the playground and water ballon slingshots they look forward to it now. We usually go to va beach for a few hours and walk around but most of our time is spent at Sandbridge or at the campground. I look forward to the vacation....it's the getting there that bothers me. :D
We live about 20 minutes from that campground and used to go quite a bit there. They have done some major upkeep there since last summer and I was going to go there this weekend for a quick getaway but going to Indian Cove out in Sandbridge instead. Like I said earlier slow and steady gets it done. Check pressures on tires, and lug nuts. make sure antenna down and steps in and make sure the trailer hitch is latched in and so is the brakes and have a safe and enjoyable trip!!
we actually asked about maintenance stuff when we called. Last year we had electricity problems there. I got everything set up and turned on the a/c and it wouldn't start. After crawling over everything trying to figure out what was wrong with my a/c I ran a cord to the sites on either side of me and the same thing. Now I got the warranty stuff out and we're trying to find a repair place out there to look at my a/c. My buddy suggests trying his site since his a/c was running fine so we ran cord over to his site and it fired right up. They have a whole section that had electrical issues. We asked about that when we called and they said they'd replaced a ton of electrical and were still repairing some that were left. They're really nice people and we've always had a good experience there. We'll arrive on the 20th and leave the 25th. Stop in and say hello. KZ Spree 5er and a grey/blue duramax. My name is Tim.
Tim...Depending on work Schedule will try and roll out there one afternoon on the Motorcycle....If you see a White Honda Goldwing roll up to your site it will be me....Mike
Mike....I'll PM you my cell number. Just shoot me a text if you plan on stopping out. I'd hate for you to make the trip and me be at Captain George's laying a beat down on a buffet. :D Love that place and smell like crab legs for days after going there. :D Me and my son have a system. He loves to crack crab legs but he can only eat a few of them so I employ him as my designated cracker....win win situation.
