First Landing State Park Campground
First Landing sits on a forested peninsula between the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, offering 200+ campsites under tall pines and cypress trees. The park feels surprisingly wild given its Virginia Beach location, with sandy trails winding through maritime forest and wetlands. Sites range from basic tent spots to full hookup RV sites, with the bay-side loops being quieter than those closer to Shore Drive.
Access is straightforward via paved roads, though the park fills up completely during summer weekends and holidays. The campground serves as a solid base for exploring both Virginia Beach attractions and the more remote False Cape State Park to the south. Reservations are essential May through September.
Virginia Beach's only state park campground
