Cape Charles, Virginia Campground | Cape Charles / Chesapeake Bay KOA

Welcome to the Cape Charles / Chesapeake Bay KOA!

Located just north of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel on Virginia's Eastern Shore, our KOA Resort sits right on the Chesapeake Bay with its own private beach (there's even a dog beach for your furry travel companions!) Bring along your fishing gear, kayaks and paddle boards to take advantage of this terrific setting, or make a splash in the campground's two pools. Enjoy waterfront views and stunning sunsets with a cocktail on the deck at the onsite Jackspot Bar & Grill, or order up specialty coffee drinks and ice cream at Happy Jack's Cafe.

Our waterfront campground boasts of a variety of accommodations suited for both campers and glampers including RV Rentals, RV Sites, Deluxe Cabins and Safari Tents. Our resort is surrounded by 1,700 acres of parkland, which features endless options for the outdoor enthusiast. Paddle among wetlands teeming with wildlife. Hike through maritime forests. Experience the fall migration of monarch butterflies, songbirds and raptors at a wildlife refuge less than a mile from the resort or stroll along miles of empty beach on wild barrier islands.

Our KOA features a full calendar of entertaining events and themed weekends for all ages. These events include a summer concert series, Halloween weekends, craft beer festival, pride weekend and much more. Hop on our free shuttle and explore the local area. Just minutes away is the charming small town of Cape Charles. Stroll on the free public beach, browse charming shops or grab a pint at Cape Charles Brewing Company.

Pool: May 4 - September 30.

Great campground. 7/18/2019

We stayed in a slipjack site and it was perfect for us. Close to everything, yet quiet as well. Can't wait to visit again. 7/18/2019

A very nice place very large open sites, but has a few drawbacks. There were lots of dead rotten fish (very smelly) and old rotten fish carcasses on the beach, several people in our party got fish bones stuck in their feet. The grass when we pulled in was very tall... 7/17/2019

Entrance and exit need to be greatly improved. Not convenient at all. Grass/weeds on sites needs to be cut more frequently. 7/16/2019

This was the second time we camped at Cape Charles. The site was great, the beach, sunsets, bar and grill-all amazing. The only complaint I have is the new practice of reserving pool cabanas for hotel guests. These cabanas sat empty every day of our stay... 7/16/2019

Totally Awesome 7/16/2019

THUMBS UP! :-) EVERYTHING WENT VERY WELL AND WE ABSOLUTELY ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH! 7/16/2019

Lots of activities for the kids, awesome beach and pool area. Bathrooms always in good condition. Highly recommend this campground and we will be back next year. Just bring an easy up for shade! 7/16/2019

Relaxing and quiet great staff 7/16/2019

Awesome stay. Looking forward for another summer stay next year 2020. 7/15/2019

Awesome view, great beach, amazing staff, can't wait to come back. 7/14/2019

Loved the beach, waterfront, and Jackspot. Staff were all friendly. Great bathrooms. Stayed in deluxe patio site, which would be ideal if not facing opposite site and sharing the area. Suggest some of those sites and other pull throughs could be made into more private sites... 7/14/2019

The beach and pool were awesome. Campground was quiet and very clean. Thought the bathrooms could use a little more attention. Overall it was amazing and would definitely return. Best sunset around! 7/13/2019

Cottagers were great. 7/12/2019

Had a great stay. It's a beautiful location and beach with lot's of well maintained amenities. We plan to go back. 7/12/2019
