We like it. It was a little remote, but that is part of the charm. The road in is narrow and has little traffic --- perfect for bicycling (It goes 10 miles north for a pretty, flat, 20 mile ride). The boat launch at the camp is on one of the prettiest bays we have ever kayaked --- LOTS of birds and wildlife. There are plenty of nice kayak launches in the immediate area. The full time campers here are in good repair and separate from the RV campers. We stayed a week and paid $13 a night thru RPI. We'd rate the park higher if it had WiFi, sewer drains flush with ground level, and concrete, asphalt or gravel pads instead of grass. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Virginia Landing is a Naco/Thousand Trails private Campground. We stayed as Coast to Coast members, so we paid $10.00 a night. Campground is 5 miles from Quinby, VA. The roadway in is VERY LONG and narrow, and no signs, no place to turn around if you had too. Campground main road is paved, but the rest are gravel. Sites are grass with a cement pad for the picnic table, fairly wide and all back ins. Only 14 sites with full hookups which are out in the open. The rest are either in the open or in tall pine trees with only water and electric hookups. TV reception was fair to poor, although you could go to the lodge and watch satellite TV and internet using their wireless setup. Lots of seasonal trailers, most have been converted to homes, and park trailers. Even a couple of homes have been built there. 2 bath houses, the one by the seasonal was in terrible shape, paint pealing off the floors and walls, cob webs everywhere, just not kept up at all. The other bath house had the washer/dryers in them. This one was better, but still well used and not maintained. We were there in mid to late September, and the mosquito’s were terrible, if the breeze was not blowing, they were eating you alive. You couldn’t come out at night, you’d be eaten alive then too. There is the bay on each side of this campground, so there is marsh everywhere. I would say in its day, this was a beautiful campground, but the grass was long, and the sites are not maintained very well at all. We probably would stay here again, but only for a day or 2, although it so far off the beaten trail, we’d probably try somewhere else first. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here for two weeks with our Thousand Trails membership. It's a serene, off the beaten path location with lots of wildlife to observe. The facilities are nicely maintained and the staff is friendly and professional. We had one of the full hook up sites. We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Virginia Landing (TT/NACO) got hit hard Labor Day weekend by tropical storm Ernesto. The Storm Surge flooded the campground with swamp reeds, which have been cleaned up, and no trailers were damaged. Flooding has shorted out sections of the electric sites, and the ground was rather spongy in many areas when I arrived. However, a few dry days and good breezes helped dry things out. A beautiful preserve with peace and quiet, but all the amenities. Laundry and Restrooms were clean and operational. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Located on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, just east of Painter (Route 13), and south of Quinby (Route 605), about 8-1/2 miles brings you to Virginia Landing. A wonderful 800 acres bordered by the Hog Island Bay to the east, and the Machipongo River to the west. With 200+ sites (some field style, some wooded), this preserve is very nice. I was able to get one of 9 full hook sites, and enjoyed my two nights to the fullest. Got lots of rest, and spent time touring the preserve. Family Lodge, food service (in season), pool, puttputt golf, horseshoes, ball field, playgrounds, Adult Lounge, Marina, Boat slips and ramp, fish cleaning stations, Pier on Hog Island Bay. Rangers Station has a mini store with a little of everything. Rangers were so very helpful and friendly. Lots of geese during my stay, the little goslings were adorable as they chased mommy and daddy to the pond. Saw a very large wild turkey, and quite a few deer. The preserve is part of the Thousand Trails/NACO system, and a very nice resort. My only reason for not giving it a 10 is that the preserve is going through spring clean up and miscellaneous repairs. Yes, I will return! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
