We stayed here for a few days in our 40' RV. Lots are gravel and a little tight. There are cabins and a tent area as well. We didn't partake of the many amenities which include pool, playground, ping pong, volleyball and a pavilion. It's a good location for exploring Virginia Beach although flights from the Naval Air Station are occasionally noisy.

The spaces are way to close together. Minimal space to park car. Very busy place close to beaches. Bathrooms clean, water pressure in shower is poor. It was good for a one night stay. Seem very active in their community. Pool are seems very nice

It’s 3:00 am. Can’t imagine anyone in our section of the campground got any sleep. A group of people have there music blasting and hooping and partying all night. Not a single staff person has been around to check on the security or to enforce curfew even though the campground was sold out. There is no after hours phone number published on the web site or anywhere else. The office phone has no message at all for any after hour contact information. Don’t stay here the staff clearly don’t understand their responsibilities. Instead stay at the holiday travel park across the street. That’s our go to campground at va beach but I thought we would try this Koa this time. Never again.

This was a horrible experience at Virginia Beach KOA. I rented a Deluxe Cabin. The security fell short at this campground, sadly. On 9/6/21, several police officers about 6 cars had to make an appearance to the RV portion of the park. The police were seen pacing the campground on foot, as well as parked in front of an RV for approximately 45 minutes and after all that, an ambulance had to come. Several campers were very worried and unsure what was happening. It was scary. I decided to forgive whatever that was because I really didn't know what was happening. However, the next day, a new group arrived on 9/7/21. This group had young children running around the pool and attempting to dive (despite numerous signs that says both are prohibited). They apparently rented a golf cart and from about 3pm that afternoon until atleast 12:40am (over an hour past quiet hour), they sped recklessly throughout the campground. This group was seen plowing through the field with tents in thr back near the play area and shining their headlights into those tents. They continued their reckless driving spree past 11pm at that time and proceeded to fly through the deluxe cabin sites. To pay these types of fees for a campground, it is expected that security will strictly enforce the rules of the campground for a safe experience. The after hours phone number was called and the desk said they would send a security guard out. I am unsure if any security guard ever came around, because the next thing you know, they were zipping through the cabins again. They repeatedly cut off their headlights, got out...did who knows what?!..and then switched places driving. It was rather frightening, as they were heard loudly, sounding like alcohol could have been a factor. Public drunkenness is also supposedly prohibited at this campground. In addition, all of the firewood was stolen, lighter stick, along with a few clothing items right from the cabin site. I have never experienced people having the audacity to come into someone's campsite, let alone a cabin site and just help themselves. What kind of low life people are coming into KOA now?! It used to be a friendly experience and now I don't feel safe at all. I had read some disheartening reviews about this KOA at Virginia Beach, but I chose to believe differently. I thought this was a family place, but I would not recommend this KOA to anyone with young children or military spouses traveling solo, would not recommend to seniors or people with senior pets, or parents or kids anyone who values their safety, peace of mind and belongings. With all of that horrendous golf cart nonsense, I am thinking of our cabin door (shown in photos). To be perfectly honest, I don't know how secure it is with so much of the seal missing. Even the shades do not adequately fit the windows, so crazy people can look right in. Definitely unsettling after some people had the audacity to come onto our patio and steal. Not cool KOA!!! Besides security issues, the cleanliness of the cabin was about 5/10. There was so much dust and filth. On the TV, on the fans, in the bath, on the shampoo and conditioner dispenser, both of the AC units. How are these Deluxe cabins priced this much and have to be cleaned upon entry and exit by the guest? All of the filth factor may have been mentioned in a guest satisfaction survey, but the biggest complaint was the lack of security when a possibly drunken driver was flying around the place in a golf cart, also possibly swiping innocent guest's belongings. …

I wrote this review once and accidentally deleted it, but feel so strongly about this campground that I’m taking the time to write it again. Please don’t waste your time or money to stay at here!!!! These are my reasons why: 1. It wasn’t until check in that I learned that the water slides were removed from the pool. Apparently, they are planning on building up the pool area, but for now it was just an activity that was taken away. 2. (Please note: We were traveling in a 40ft class A RV with slides on both side and correctly added this information to our reservation prior to arrival) Upon getting to our site, we learned that we barely fit in the site! We literally had to walk over our neighbor’s septic hose to get into the RV! We paid for a pull through site and when escorted over, we asked how we were going to be able to pull out when we leave and we were told that most people back out because there isn’t enough room to pull forward…. Why are we paying extra money for a pull through site when that is obviously not what the spot is!!!! 3. Thankfully, they also advertised that they have large inflatable water slides…. BUT we found out that they were only open on the weekends!!!! Another activity that we were unable to utilize!!! We were told this was due to a lack of staff- where the heck is all our money going if they don’t have any activities running!… when the water slide did finally open on Thursday, it was only open from 1:00-1:45 and 4:00-4:45! That’s it- under 2 hours the entire day!!! And it was full of leaves from sitting deflated the entire week and of course it was extremely crowded because all the kids there only had a small window to use them! 4. They have 2 pools there (both totally disgusting with bugs and pealing paint) and when trying to use them one night after returning from the beach, we learned that the large pool was CLOSED!!!! Apparently, there was thunder earlier in the day so they sent the lifeguard home and can’t have the large pool open without a lifeguard…. When speaking to the 3 people at the front desk who were all doing absolutely nothing, I was again told about a staff shortage. I asked why one of them couldn’t just open the water slide as the small pool was WAY over crowded and unsafe but they said they weren’t able to do that! (At this point they also blamed it on the fact that this campground was “corporate” so they have different regulations than other KOAs) The next day when they did have a lifeguard at the pool, not only was she stationed at the small pool (even with people in the large pool unattended), but she was on her cell phone the entire time!!!!! Why couldn’t the pool open the night before if she wasn’t going to do anything anyway!!! 5. The campground has a bike shop with bikes to rent. While still trying to make the best of the trip, we decided to give them a try. We rented 4 of the single “big wheels” type bikes. When renting the bikes, I asked if there was a discount because I was renting so many but was told no. There was a sign that said you get a free hour if your pay for three, but apparently that only applies to regular bikes. After about 10 minutes on the bikes, my kids wanted to try the 2-person bike that was similar to see if they liked it better. As they were trying them out, the guy literally shouted out that they only had 45 minutes remaining- seriously!!!! They had about another 10 bikes sitting there and absolutely no one trying to rent anything and they had a timer going to make sure we didn’t go a second over our 60 minutes! 6. Our second night there, we discovered that our water completely stopped working! It was late at night so we called the emergency number. Luckily someone did answer and explained that someone hit the water line and it was being fixed. I understand that this may have been the only thing out of their control, but still a major inconvenience and another thing that took away from us enjoying our time. ** After our first miserable night of learning this place was NOT WORTH IT, we tried to check out early and leave. We were told that we could leave if we want but they have a no refund policy!!! I tried numerous times to talk to them about why I felt like I was getting ripped off but they honestly did not care at all!! They advertised that they want to know if anyone is unhappy while they are still there and can’t provide a positive review so they can fix the issues- but that’s just another lie!!! This campground robbed us of our vacation TIME and MONEY!!!! There is a privately owned campground right down the road that would be a way better choice. Please do not make the same mistake we made!!!!…

The site we stayed in had severe flooding issues. After a 2 hour storm the entire site including all of my wires, hoses, firepit and belongings were under 3 inches of water for the next 24 hours+. When I went to complain to the front desk they didn't seem to care or offer any alternatives. In fact as I was discussing the issue with the front desk agent she decided to stop our chat to take a reservation call (there were 2 others at the desk that could have taken the call). The pools were great and the activity area is set up well although there were significantly less activities from when we stayed at this KOA in previous years. The flooding and the lack of customer service definitely affected our experience. I was terribly disappointed.

I am on a working vacation. The WiFi is HORRIBLE. It drops me on and off 10 times an hour. It is super frustrating. The campground told me to call their internet provider. I called and they said the signal in the area of my site is weak. They are going to troubleshoot and could not give me a timeline of when repairs would be completed. I asked to move to another site and campground said they don't have vacancy. I asked for some rebate for not having working WiFi and I was told no. If internet is important to you, STAY AWAY from this campground, or at least the full hook up sites with 50/30. I am probably going to have to leave early because I have work to do. That's why I chose this site. The campground is nice but without Wi-Fi, it sucks. I'll try Holiday Travel Park next time. I KNOW there WiFi works.…

We are in VB visiting from NYS for our daughter’s 40th birthday. They live locally. We brought our motorhome and stayed on deluxe patio site 370. Our entire experience here was really great. All of the staff we encountered (we stayed a full week) were very kind, courteous and helpful. They lead you right into your site (via a golf cart) after you check in and help to ensure you’re set properly and safely on your site. The property is very well maintained. Our grandchildren enjoyed many of the amenities. Jumping areas, The Wedgie water slide, the basketball court, bike rentals and of course the pools.

Stayed here for 3 nights, the sites are really close. The staff loves putting people in the site next to you even though there’s room to skip a spot. Every staff member we encountered was polite and helpful. Pools were still closed, but they were being filled with water during our stay. $50 a night for a FHU pull thru site. The beach was only 4 miles away. Lots of traffic just outside the campground. You can hear the load trucks and motorcycles. The jets that fly overhead are VERY LOUD!
