Weekend Trip to The Oysterhouse Landing

This is probably my favorite Hipcamp experience to date. Being able to hook the trailer up that close to the water with dreamy views, getting fresh blue crabs right off the dock when the fishermen come in, my kids being thoroughly entertained catching little crabs and snails in the water. And the kindest host, Rod, who I am especially grateful showed patience with my super talkative six-year old boy 😆. Honestly- this was a GREAT stay, beautiful and memorable, and we hope to return someday.

Rod is an excellent host. He greeted us upon check in, & was friendly. This is a great spot for anyone wanting to kayak, paddleboard, or boat!

Beautiful and relaxing view of the water. Roderick was hospitable and an amazing host. Wonderful spot for first time campers or trying a new set up as well. Will definitely stay here again.

Good spot right on the river. Quiet. It was too chilly and windy for a fire (early season regret) but on nicer nights it would be special

1 night at The Oysterhouse Landing

Beautiful example of the coastal chesepeak bays...perfect night on the waterfront. Roderick was extremely accommodating, yet non intrusive, thank you! I would stay here again without hesitation...be self sufficient though, it is primitive camping. Exactly what we were looking for!

1 night at The Oysterhouse Landing

I camp alone with a small truck camper and a fishing boat. I wanted a quiet site with Mobjack Bay access. This location is perfect. The first day the wind was high so I fished from the shore and his dock. At sun rise the following morning, I launched my boat on beautiful, calm water, and spent the morning exploring the area. I will come back often. I communicated with Rod when I arrived and he was helpful in selecting the best spot for current conditions. When I was leaving, he gave me fishing spots for my next trip.

5 nights at The Oysterhouse Landing

From the moment he booked this site until I drove out I was extremely pleased! Roderick communicated well and was so helpful throughout my stay. The location is beautiful and peaceful! Roderick was a top notch host! This exceeded my expectations!

Coastal RV camping with full hookups in Virginia guide

Overview

Whether you want to dive into Civil War history, follow in the footsteps of former presidents, or drive the legendary Blue Ridge Parkway, Virginia rarely disappoints. The birthplace of America has thousands of miles of Atlantic coastline and more miles of the Appalachian Trail than any other state. Still need convincing? Virginia’s 41 state parks boast more than 600 miles of trails and 1,800 state campsites, leading the way to forested mountains, rambling rivers, and beaches. Camping is a year-round affair, whether you prefer fall foliage hikes, pitching a tent on the beach, or snowshoeing from a cozy winter cabin.

Where to go

Central Virginia

Gleaming lakes and pine-clad foothills characterize the central Piedmont region, known for its lakeside camping, canoe and kayak trails, and Civil War sites. Pocahontas State Park is just a half-hour drive from the state capital, Richmond, where multi-use trails are popular for biking and horseback riding. Also within a short drive, Bear Creek Lake State Park offers easy access to Cumberland State Forest trails, while James River State Park has RV, tent, and canoe-in campsites.

Atlantic Coast & Chesapeake Bay

Wide beaches and fishing villages pepper the coast of Chesapeake Bay, Virginia’s top choice for beach lovers. You can pitch your tent right on the beach at First Landing State Park and False Cape State Park, camp on the grounds of Chippokes Plantation State Park, or get on the water at York River State Park.

Shenandoah Valley & The North

The dense woodlands are the star attraction in Shenandoah National Park and along its renowned Skyline Drive. The closest state campgrounds can be found in Shenandoah River State Park, a popular spot for summer hiking, canoeing, and picnicking, while further south, Douthat State Park has a swimming beach, waterfall hikes, and mountain biking trails.

Appalachian & Blue Ridge Mountains

The rugged Appalachian Mountains fringe Virginia’s southwestern borders, merging into the wooded slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Grayson Highlands State Park is the gateway to the region’s two most popular hikes: the Appalachian Trail and Mount Rogers. Alternatively, paddle the scenic waterways of New River Trail State Park, book a cabin in the woods in Hungry Mother State Park, or escape the crowds at Clinch River State Park.
