What others are saying about this campground
False Cape is a primitive campground located in the Back Bay Wildlife Refuge along the southern coast of Virginia. The only way to access the park is by boat, foot, or bike, making it a serene oasis away from traffic and crowds. The campground offers two sites to choose from, one located behind the dunes and the other directly on the sand. There are no campfires allowed, but the proximity to the beach and the solitude cant be beat. The park has some great hiking trails, many leading to historical landmarks, and plenty of shorebirds and waterfowl to spot. The kids will love riding through Back Bay, and the campsite is close to the beach with plenty of sand for kids to play in. There is a Visitors Center with cold drinks, air conditioning, full-service bathrooms, and friendly attendants. The campground is also close to a fishing pond, so watch your step for snakes. The weather is usually gorgeous and the hike is a great way to get away from civilization and enjoy the beach.

From The Campground

False Cape State Park is a 3,844-acre park located in Virginia Beach, VA. The park offers primitive camping year-round in four distinct areas, including Barbour Hill Bay, Barbour Hill Ocean, False Cape Landing Bay, and False Cape Landing Ocean. The park has 15.3 miles of trails for hiking and biking, as well as opportunities for freshwater and saltwater fishing with a valid Virginia fishing license. Boats are permitted in the park, but only experienced boaters familiar with Back Bay should attempt to access False Cape by boat. The park also offers astronomy programs, wildlife tours, birding hikes, night hikes, kayak tours, and special group tours. Visitors should be aware that the park is very primitive and has unusually restrictive access, and reservations are required for camping. Pets are allowed at False Cape but not allowed through the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge. All trash must be packed out when leaving the park. Ticks and biting insects are numerous, and insect repellent is a must. The park is not recommended for young children, inexperienced campers, or those who need access to emergency medical care.
