In contrast to the reviews that we read we found the campgrounds to be in much better condition than expected. We arrived at 10:30am and although they have a very strict noon check in and checkout policy they allowed us to check in early. We have a 2010 40' fifth wheel with 4 slides so we are cautious about scraping it up and having enough length and width. We were given site # 2 which was more than adequate, the one drawback is they only have 2 sites large enough to accommodate a big 5th wheel or Motor home. The road while not paved was wide enough for us to back in without having to do a lot of jockeying and there were no large pot holes to swallow us up. The foliage was trimmed so that we were able to get the 13'3" high coach in and bumped out without hitting foliage. The site was gravel, but very level. The site had 50 amp service and water, pump out is available near the registration building but there is no sewer on any sites. Satellite service was not available due to the foliage, cable was not available and local TV is very limited. That was not a problem for us as the area was beautiful and we spend very little time inside. There is a small PX, gas station and car wash on the base. The beaches are sandy and private. The lighthouses are spectacular and a walk to the top of the historic Cape Henry lighthouse is worth the $4.00 and the time. While lacking some amenities it is one of the nicest and prettiest military campgrounds we have stayed at.
