Kiptopeke is three miles from the northern terminus of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, which has a substantial each way toll charge, on Route 13. Turn west on Route 704; the park entrance is within a half mile.
Took my son for an end of summer trip. We only camped for one night, but we both loved it. The beaches are small and private. We took a beach walk to watch the sunset & we were the only two out there. The sunset was gorgeous from the beach. It was a last min trip, so we didn't stay long enough to check out all the trails and everything they had to offer but even being just a short trip we really enjoyed it and would definitely come back again.
This is such a beautiful place, full of scenic boardwalk trails and wild nature. The tent sites are in the tall trees covered in a bed of pine needles, and I mean that in the best way possible. Our tent felt so cozy with the needles adding a layer of insulation. There was a water pump in front of our site and the bath house was just a few dozen feet away. It's a well kept and friendly campground area with views over the bay from the trail. I couldn't recommend it more.
It was eerily beautiful when we got the because of the fog, very quiet and peaceful. Not too crowded probably due to the weather. The water was pretty and there were different varieties of birds flying around.
We enjoyed our stay in our 31' Class C RV. The main full hook up area is a large grass field, so that is why the 4 stars. As for the host, he met us before we pulled in and gave us information and was very helpful. The tent sites look amazing! Secluded with lots of trees and huge sites. FHU sites and other RV sites were a good size, just no trees or barriers between sites. We were there in mid Nov. The bathrooms were heated, toasty. The showers were plenty warm, showers separate, but shared dressing area. Clean. Friends live in Cape Charles so this was a great location to stay at. Lots of trails to hike and bay to view with a short walk.
This campground is great. The sites are big and there's alot to do. We enjoyed riding our bikes and walking the trails. We seen dolphins in the water and it was really quiet. The beach was clean and seeing the ships out in the water were great. Bring your bikes for exploring because you will need them or a car.
