Virginia Beach Campgrounds Off the Beaten Path
Want a Virginia Beach campground that's away from the hubbub of the downtown resort area? These campgrounds get progressively more and more remote from the tourist area.
Virginia Beach RV Resort
This RV's-only Virginia Beach campground is located in Sandbridge, a beach community about 15-20 miles south of the Virginia Beach boardwalk area. It's favored by the locals because it's much quieter and more serene that the boardwalk area. There's not as much to do in Sandbridge (or as many restaurants), but if you like quiet, it's the place for you. Keep in mind that it's really just for RVs: no Vans, Pop-ups or Truck Campers, and there is a minimum RV length of 18'.
Amenities at Virginia Beach RV Resort include 250 sites with full hookups, 24-hour security, a clubhouse complete with a sauna, two pools and a hot tub, tennis courts, boat ramp, cable TV, and more. Beach access is nearby, and it's just a short drive from Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge.
Virginia Beach RV Resort address: 3661 Sandpiper Road Sandbridge, VA 23456. Virginia Beach RV Resort phone number: 800-333-7515 / 757-721-2020. Virginia Beach RV Resort website: http://www.outdoor-resorts.com/vb/amenities.html

First Landing State Park
Located north of the boardwalk area, this Virginia Beach campground features climate-controlled cabins, campsites, picnic areas, boat ramps, kayak rentals, and a bicycle trail, as well as 19 miles of hiking trails; guided kayak ecological tours allow exploration of the marshes and bays. It's a good compromise between relative proximity to the action and remoteness.
First Landing State Park is near to Fort Story, a military base with unspoilt beaches and two lighthouses (including historic Old Cape Henry Lighthouse) and the First Landing Cross. For details on Fort Story and the fascinating creatures we like to chase there, click here.
First Landing State Park address: 2500 Shore Drive Virginia Beach, VA 23451. First Landing State Park phone number: 757-412-2300/ 800-933-7275. First Landing State Park website: www.dcr.virginia.gov/state_parks/fir.shtml
