From N (WA DC) (From WA DC we are approx 3 1/2 hrs drive): Take I-95 to Richmond. At the junction with I-64 take I-64 E towards Norfolk/VA Beach. Take Exit 220 to W Point. Follow the signs to and through W Point 13 mi. At the 1st traffic light after the last bridge, go straight across --this turns into Hwy 198. Follow 198 toward Mathews to the junction with Hwy 223 (towards Gwynn's Island, the Coast Guard station--there is a Zooms gas station at this corner)--Turn L and take 223 across the bridge and follow Old Ferry Rd all the way until just before it ends at the Bay. Turn R onto Buckchase Rd. The CG entrance and office is approx 3/4 of a mile on the L. Stop in at the office to check in.
My finances family has been coming here for around 30 years my first time was three years ago and have came back every year! The staff are super nice and respectful Kim is amazing if there's ever a problem she takes care of it right away. My favorite part is the peace and relaxation it's great to take a step away from a busy life.
Simple and gorgeous!
If you plan to stay for few days, prepare for no shadows at all, wide open.
No phone service, I have Verizon. Highly recomend to buy WiFi, $10 for 3 days up to 4 devices at the time. It's reasonable and it works.
No close convenient stores, have enough drinking water and necessities with you.
There is an electricity on sites, but only those round RV outlets, no regular ones. Make sure you have right adapter.
Huge stones along the shores, hard to get to the water without risk to brake legs, but there a small beach in walking distance.
Love the place!
Love this place! The staff is wonderful, the campers are wonderful, and the resort is absolutely beautiful!
Kudos to John, who has gone above and beyond on several occasions for us, when we have needed help or have been in a bind! Mike who runs the show, is so kind and helpful, and can be seen everywhere throughout the resort and always there when needed!
This was our second trip here this year and absolutely loved our waterfront site, D01. We stayed first week of May and week of September 11th. Beautiful views and staff very friendly. Women's bath house was out of commission but allotted hours for use of men's side. We wanted to make this a yearly trip but sad to hear they may not be open to transients and going private as of next. Very disappointing as this was one of our favorite spots this year and were looking forward to coming back next year.
This is the end of our first year here and we couldn't be more pleased. We recently had tropical storm Ophelia come through and we were concerned about our camper flooding. Living 1.5 hours away means it isnt always easy getting here. The new manager and current staff were amazing and very responsive when asking for help and looking out for us and other campers.
Aside from that, I can't say enough about John and Craig who work maintenance. They work hard, rain or shine, sick or healthy, and go above and beyond anyone's expectations to make sure everyone is happy and comfortable. Kim, who works in the office is such a pleasure to talk to. She's always ready to greet campers and help them out, especially if you want info about Gwynn's Island.
The campground is clean, the bath house is clean and the lady who cleans is always pleasant and smiling.
I'm so glad to be a part of this community and look forward to another summer. Thank you for all you do!
