First Landing State Park

First Landing State Park offers a unique coastal retreat located just over five miles from the vibrant heart of Virginia Beach. This state-managed destination provides an accessible outdoor experience for those looking to immerse themselves in nature without traveling far from city amenities. The park is open year-round, making it a versatile choice for campers planning a trip during any season.

The terrain provides a tranquil environment well-suited for both tent and car camping enthusiasts. As a beginner-friendly location, it is an excellent choice for families or individuals new to the camping lifestyle who want a straightforward, stress-free outdoor experience. Whether you are looking for a quick weekend getaway or a longer excursion, the park offers a peaceful setting away from the bustle of the nearby urban center.

While the campground focuses on a traditional, back-to-basics camping experience, its location in the Southeast region of Virginia makes it a popular spot for those exploring the coast. Please note that this is a primitive-style camping area without utility hookups, so visitors should plan to be self-sufficient during their stay. It remains a premier choice for those prioritizing a natural setting and proximity to the Virginia Beach shoreline.
