Leslie Boss - I found out about this campground on About.com, and I RV camped there in July 2006.

Campground Review

I read the reviews and thought it would be a great place to stay while we were vacationing in Virginia Beach. I must admit, the place is very large, and considering the constant turnover, the campground is very well kept. They have clean bathrooms, the gardens looked very nice, and it is obvious that the owners take pride in their establishment as they are putting money back into the campground by putting up new facilities.


One of which is a new laundry facility, which will far out beat the small one they have now. I was a little surprised that they had music playing every night around one of their four pools, as the other campgrounds that I've stayed in will only host such events during the weekends. Still, the site I had was not right on top of the music, which was OK. I am not sure why they do not have cable hookups on all the sites as it appears that there were wires cut on most of the wooded sites that I walked past.

Being from NJ, I was very surprised to see the amount of Canadian campers who only spoke French. While talking to one of the campground personnel, I was told that 90% of the campground is from Quebec. I was a bit surprised because normally I would have conversations with campers next to me or across the street. Being that a large majority of the campers were from Quebec this was virtually impossible. During our visits at the pool, when we would bump into an English speaking person there would always be comments made like, "OH!

You speak English?" Also, while my husband and I stayed at the KOA down the street on General Booth many, many years ago and knew about the jets that flew overhead, we were prepared, so we thought. My husband thought it was cool, until 30 of them flew overhead one night with five minute intervals going back to the air base. This was definitely not cool and when you have to walk around your camper holding your ears and stop talking because you can't hear what the other person is saying, it becomes ridiculous. I could only think about the sleeping babies. Fortunately though, they did stop by 9:30pm.

The staff was friendly and helpful. Pumpouts, or as they say, "honey wagon," was $10, which is great compared to other facilities. No fire rings on the campsites, which made it discouraging to have a campfire. Also, if you can get a super site, do it. They are much, much nicer. I wish we had, and kept trying to get one earlier on during our trip. When visiting Virginia I probably would not stay at this campground again even though they do have a lot of things for the kids to do, but then again, so do others.
