A versatile escape in Cape Charles offering a perfect mix of rugged tent sites and premium glamping options for every kind of camper.

Coastal retreat on the Chesapeake Bay known for migratory bird watching and historic concrete ships.

Kiptopeke State Park is a 562-acre recreational area situated on Virginia's Eastern Shore along the Chesapeake Bay. Explored by Captain John Smith in 1608, the park is now a premier destination for birdwatchers on the Atlantic Flyway and is famous for the nine historic concrete ships resting offshore. The facility offers a wide range of overnight accommodations, including a full-service campground with RV and tent sites, yurts, family lodges, and two- to three-bedroom cabins. Visitors enjoy access to two beaches, a 24-hour lighted fishing pier, boat ramps, and over 5 miles of hiking and biking trails.
