City of Chesapeake Northwest River CG

A nice park. Chesapeake's prestige park, built in the 70s. Upkeep and major maintenance are intermittent (funding limited, presumably - the staff are great!), though there are nice trails and serviceable boat launches.

Very level camping sites here, only needed a small tongue jack raise to be level in all directions

We arrived at this campground at 6:32, with vehicle problems and we were refused a campsite because it “closes at 6”. We have been driving all day and apparently Virginia state parks are full and same with the other private parks. I could not believe we were turned away!

Nice area to camp or spend the day hanging out. Lots room and activities to do . Restrooms n play areas will help keep you here for hours. Great views and friendly staff. Great place in middle of nowhere to visit. Thumbs up 5 stars

Awesome outing at the park, beautiful long trails with splendid veiws full of assorted ponds, lakes, lovely forest, wildlife, and more. Rented a canoe and enjoyed even more of the park, would definitely recommend
