Best time to visit First Landing State Park
Late spring and early fall, roughly April through June and September through October, are the most comfortable months, with mild temperatures, lower humidity, and fewer biting insects. July and August bring peak beach crowds, hot and humid weather, and the highest chance of Atlantic storms, so campsites book well in advance. Winter is mild but damp, and the campground typically closes from early December through early March, making the shoulder seasons ideal for RV travel.

The Cape Henry Trail is a six-mile multi-use path that bisects the park between the Chesapeake Bay entrance and 64th Street near the Atlantic. It is open to hikers and cyclists and connects campgrounds, the Trail Center, and Virginia Beach's city bike network.

The park features 1.5 miles of shoreline along the Chesapeake Bay, with a sandy swimming beach accessible from the campground. The calm bay water is a gentler alternative to the Atlantic surf just minutes away.

Anglers can fish from the shoreline or launch small boats from the park's boat ramp on Broad Bay. Common catches include flounder, speckled trout, and croaker, with boat trailer parking available near the launch.

Top Hosts near VA, United States
Taylor was a great host and had an awesome RV. They provided a detailed overview of the RV when we picked it up and had us on the road on the family trip! The RV size and layout was perfect for our family of 5, with the bunkroom being a nice space for the kids own room. The kitchen had everything we needed and they had the small touches that made a huge difference (bag of charcoal). Thank you for a great trip!

Nicholas was wonderful to work with. We felt very comfortable with his instructions. Definitely recommend him for your future camping adventures!!

Nicholas was excellent with communication. He gladly answered all my questions without hesitation. The camper REALLY has all you would need for camping, including hand soap, dish soap and body wash. He hooked it all up for us so when we got there all we had to do was unpack. There were 5 of us and I thought we would fit without issue, however, it was tight. But we did not spend much time in there so it was ok. I would (and likely will) definitely rent from Nicholas again. We had a great time.

How to get to First Landing State Park
The park sits on Shore Drive (US-60) in Virginia Beach, about 20 minutes from downtown Norfolk, under an hour from Williamsburg, and roughly 3.5 hours southeast of Washington, D.C. Drivers approaching from the Eastern Shore should note the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel has vehicle size and hazardous materials restrictions that apply to large RVs, so confirm current limits before crossing. Shore Drive itself is low-lying and can flood during coastal storms and nor'easters. Norfolk International Airport (ORF) is the closest major airport for fly-and-rent travelers, about 20 miles from the park.
