Kiptopeke State Park, Cape Charles

A secret gem and if you’re lucky enough to have the time to visit this beautiful place you definitely won’t regret it. We tent camped for two days and it was one of our favorite camping trips to date. Our dog absolutely loved the beach and trails. We loved the sunsets and peaceful vibes!

Great state park! Beautiful and just perfect! The staff is super nice! The area is beautiful and clean. Plenty of space! Great park for children. Our kids just loved walking around, going to the beach to dig holes and collect seashells and go around with their bikes. During the weekend the little store is open, my kids would love to go their and buy ice cream. the lady is so nice there! We'll come back for sure!!!

Facilities are not as nice as many of the other Virginia state parks. Bathhouse wasn't clean and is showing is age. Camping sites aren't very level, are grass/sand, and are difficult to back into due to the 90 degree layout. Campers are very close and somewhat crowded. A plus is that some sections feature a sewer connection which isn't common in state parks. Fire pits are behind camper. Saw frequent patrols during the day. Beach access and boating access is great. Make sure you wear shoes crossing onto the beach due to sand spurs and briers. Very quite and natural area.

Kiptopeke State Park is a great place to take your family and explore some of the great areas of Cape Charles. The views, beach area, trails, just about anything and everything here is just beautiful. Staying in the park was nice as well. We stayed in a trailer and for a state park, the sites were fairly level, the accomodations in the site worked well and overall the campsites we're very well kept.

Beautiful park. Lots of shore birds to see as well as other birds. Most of the paths are easy with boardwalks or wide open pathways. Nice playground for children and sandy beaches to explore.
