Fall is a wonderful time to escape the hustle and bustle of the Hampton Roads and go camping. Grab your friends and family to disconnect from your everyday life and reconnect with one other. These locations offer something for everyone and are a great weekend away without roaming far from the area.
Chesapeake Campground
Grab your gear and disappear into the woods at the Chesapeake Campground on George Washington Highway South. The campground offers tent, cabin, and RV camping at daily or weekly rates. They have four different types of RV sites that have water, electric, and sewer hookups. Once you arrive and settle in at your campsite, there’s a lot to do on the grounds.
The campground offers $75 hayrides on the weekends that last two hours. There’s also a mini-golf course on the property that can be used for $3 a person and is open daily. For those who enjoy traditional golf, there’s a driving range open daily; a bucket of 40 balls costs $4. You can also rent bicycles, kayaks, canoes, and John boats!
Right next to the camp store is Markley’s Antiques, selling loads of treasures for you to enjoy. The Deep Creek Stables are right up the road from the property.

The North Bay Shore Campground is on Colechester Road in Virginia Beach. The campground offers tent sites with or without electric and water hookups.

There is one pet-friendly cabin on the property. The standard cabin sleeps four while the large cabin sleeps five.
Explore the campground and enjoy access to the bay. There’s a recreation hall with pool and air hockey tables. The playground is an excellent place for younger campers to run off their energy!
