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.

Wonderful campground with a nice beach for our young grandchildren. The KOA employees were very helpful and friendly. 9/14/2019

Very nice place. Very helpful staff. Lance was especially helpful. Enjoyed the sunsets on the beach decks. Great drinks. Planning to return. 9/11/2019

Hurricane Dorian was on our heels. Wind gusts to 75mph were issued. Looking at the weather map, the cape Charles area was in red; indicating storm warning. Explained to office that dangerous conditions were due in a few hours and we need to leave... 9/8/2019

We enjoyed our stay there! Had to pack up & leave due to high winds we feel we should get a small refund as we were paid till Monday & left thurs! Hurricane Dorian was just getting too close & with our pop up we could not take any chances for our safety... 9/6/2019

Disappointed that we weren’t told that restaurant was closing day after Labor Day. We didn’t go food shopping because we thought we could eat there. Instead we had to pay 28 bucks and drive 45 mins to Va Beach fo groceries... 9/6/2019

Love this campground! 9/5/2019

I probably would have given this KOA a five star if the person at the front desk had not been so unfriendly, unpleasant and just plain rude. We had the same experience last year but figured we couldn’t get rudeness twice, wrong! We will not be returning to this KOA. 9/5/2019

We loved our Labor Day weekend stay at the Cape Charles/Chesapeake Bay KOA! It felt like we were on a tropical island, the view was beautiful, and the sunsets were picturesque. The campground staff was friendly and extremely helpful when we got locked out of our RV... 9/4/2019

Wonderful! We arrived late, got an escort to our site, cant say enough how wonderful a place it is. 9/4/2019

This campsite is wonderful, but the bathrooms need to use chlorox to get rid of the shower and mold 9/4/2019

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this KOA. The site we had was right along the tree line so we got good shade during the heat of the day. We absolutely love the beach and the dog beach as well. I recommend renting a golf cart during your stay as this campground is HUGE... 9/4/2019

Great 9/4/2019
