Saving money while camping in Virginia






So where are the top places for camping in Virginia?

We've broken them down by the two major tourist areas: Virginia Beach and Williamsburg. We include information on amenities (what kind of hook-ups are available, whether they have pools, etc.), but not prices (since they vary so much according to the season). Just click on the area you're interested in and you'll find the contact information you need.

Campgrounds near the Virginia Beach Oceanfront

There is so much to do near the Virginia Beach Oceanfront-- from sun-loving to surfing to fishing, as well local attractions like Virginia Aquarium, Jungle Golf, renting bikes on the boardwalk, shopping, and eating at wonderful restaurants-- that camping is a great way to go since you'll have more money for all the sights and restaurants!

I've got four great campgrounds which I discuss in detail, ranging from really basic and back-to-nature, to full-service with summertime activities like ice cream socials, marshmallow roasts, and hayrides.

Camping is also an excellent way to enjoy nature while maximizing your funds for all that Williamsburg has to offer, including Busch Gardens, Water Country USA, Jamestown, and Yorktown. 

Of course, tenting it isn't the only way to camp. Got an RV? Most of the campgrounds I'll share with you have great RV hookups, and some-- like Williamsburg KOA-- even have really nice cabins and some serious amenities, like hayrides, marshmallow roasts, and even a free shuttle to Busch Gardens, Water Country USA, and Williamsburg's Historic Area.

TIP: One thing to keep in mind no matter where you camp: Virginia DOES have mosquitos, so DO remember to bring bug repellent. Some places are worse than others (for example, swampy areas like the Great Dismal Swamp near Chesapeake, or Back Bay Wildlife Refuge are mosquitos havens), but don't kid yourself that you don't need Repel or DEET.
