Cherrystone, what was your experience? Options

[Bernadette]

My family and I as well as my neighbors are looking at camping in a pop-up and tent for the 4th of July weekend at Cherrystone. There are so many mixed reviews... Since we are in a pop-up and in a tent, I really need to know if the bathhouses are CLEAN, and if the noise level at night is tolerable/family oriented. We stayed a few years ago at the KOA in VA Beach as well as the Trav-L-Park in VA Beach and found both of them non-returnable. Please let me know if you have stayed at Cherrystone recently, and what your thoughts are! Many thanks!

This use to be one of our favorites to go in spring. It has changed tremendously since new management/different management took over. That warm and fuzzy feeling one use to feel from the Davidson's is no longer. We always reserve site #711 which we feel is this campground's premier site. I would highly recommend any site in the "Sunset Circle" loop. Yes, it's true the care and maintenance of the campground has taken a slide downward over the past several years but we have never encountered any rude or abrupt behavior from any employee/volunteer. We always go in April before the children are out of school and the campground is fairly quiet. This is a large campground with 500+ sites, hence alot of vehicle traffic, bike riding, children (on weekends and during the summer). Also, it's in a low lying area and on the Chesapeake Bay so be forwarned that standing water can and does occur during and from storms and high tides. This campground offers alot for the kids and can definitely be called a "destination" campground. Try hard to book a site as close to the water as you can, the back part of the park is very low, very shady and can be very wet and muddy. Go and enjoy!
