New Point Campground

Visited this campground over the weekend looking for an annual site. We rode through first to check it out and see if the campers were friendly and get there opinions. Folks there couldn’t have been nicer. The beach is nice and I like the dog beach. Visited the office and met with a very pleasant women who answered all our questions. We chose a nice corner lot and am looking forward to a great camping season!

While booking my reservation to stay here over the July 4^th weekend, I specifically ask if I needed to reserve a golf cart. I was told they did not take reservations over a holiday weekend, it was first come first serve. Once we arrived to the campground, we were greeted by a very rude lady who checked us in. After we checked in I asked her if there was someone to show us to our site as we had never been here and no idea where to go. No one was available. A nice guest of the campground said she would show us as the site was hard to find especially in the dark.
As we were headed to our site we were stopped by someone who had the road blocked trying to back up his camper. After sitting there for about 30 min we were finally moving again. Once we maneuvered through the VERY tight roads we reached our site. We had a site on the end thank goodness because there was NO room what so ever for our 32ft 3 slide camper. When trying to hook up the sewer hose we discovered the hook up was a ways away from our camper (something that should have been told to us while making the reservations). Needless to say our sewer hose wasn’t long enough. The nice couple next to us had extra and let us borrow some hose. We finally parked it and got it level.
The next morning we went to the office to inquire about a golf cart. The same rude lady was there that was there the night before. When I asked about a cart she said they were all reserved. I told her what the lady told me when making my reservations and her response was «sorry». No remedy to the problem just «sorry». We left the office and tried to make the best of the rest of our trip.
Saturday afternoon around 4:30 the power decided to go out in the entire campground. We were told by our neighbor there was a problem down the street. After about 2 hours I checked the campgrounds Facebook page thinking they would have an update… no update, however, they had an update about something being cancelled due to an instructor being sick. I realize the power was out of their control but they could at least been nice enough to give their guest updates. Finally around 9:30 the power came back on.
Overall, we made the best of our camping trip but will never go back.

We stayed here over the Memorial Day weekend had a blast. We went crabbing, musseling, fishing and oyster hunting. The beaches are lovely. This is a very pet friendly campground. There is a dog beach because they are not aloud on the beach. The breeze off the bay keeps it cool so bring your sweatshirt and plenty of blankets if you are tenting. Entertainment could be better. Suggestions bingo $ 1 a card to go into each game. Have one on Friday nights and Saturday nights at 6pm would be great fun for everyone any age. There was an awesome band there one night called crazy x «country/​rock» they were excellent. Going back for the 4^th of July. Love it here. Hope it stays a great campground for many years.

I want to start by saying I never write reviews. I tend to let other reviews guide my decisions, and follow the crowd. This being the exception, because our visit to this campground was very enjoyable. In spite of terrible weather, it was a great experience. The activities were well organized. The staff was accommodating, and available to assist campers. The beach is lovely and we had a great time on their nature trail. If you want a family friendly camp experience this gets our vote! We have a new family tradition.

This campground is so awful if Unilocal could let me give half or quarter stars even that would be too generous.
We just got home from a trip from VA Beach up through Tappahanock.
The campground is on the Chesapeake bay and has a nice beach.
That’s about the only thing that recommends itself.
1. About 90 percent of the «long time» regular campers are RUDE and although there is a quiet time for the campground, the new manager does not seem to care to enforce that or that the «Seasonal» regular campers are walking all over the campground drunk out of their minds. There is apparently a «Seasonal’s only» preference here and GOD FORBID you bring a TENT – the Seasonals really let the poor couple who was there while we were there have it for having a tent. We think you have to start somewhere… and by god, the tent looked a heck of a lot better than some of the ancient RVs they have here. What a mix of junk and nice RVs.
2. The place is a DUMP. The shower houses are WORSE than the girl scout showerhouses I used to go to 35 years ago… in fact, they are worse than the showerhouses I have gone to when primitive camping at National Forest campgrounds… The showers themselves are disgusting and oh no, don’t even think about getting a steady stream of WATER… and if you DO, it will either be so scalding hot it will burn your skin off or so damn cold you’ll wish you could get into the Bay during January to get warm.
3. The «Pavilion» is a joke. It’s just a glorified group shelter. Again, I’ve seen primitive National Forest campgrounds with better «Pavilions». There is not a kitchen available here for group get togethers.
4. This place is called a RESORT? Who are they kidding? There isn’t even a toilet by the pool, much less other amenities like paved roads or campsites, grilles on the firerings (where there IS a firering) or a decent picnic table anywhere in sight unless you brought your own. Most of the picnic tables are falling apart, nails sticking up and just a mess… and have been for the last three years since we found this campground. The whole place seems to have gone from bad to worse since the previous family sold out to a large corporate campground farm.
5. They don’t have an arcade. Okay, when we were here last year they did have one but now its just a big empty room.
6. NO FOOD SERVICES. The closest restaurant is 7.5 miles away. You can’t even get a good hotdog here.
7. You can’t call the campground directly but get redirected through a «call center» to someone in NEW YORK of all places who has not ever even BEEN to the campground yet thinks they are qualified enough to tell me what will be the best campsite for my RV.
8. The current management from the corporate office down to everyone except the campers who work in the office are really quite unbelievable. The current onsite management is the worst we’ve seen yet. don’t know what happened to the nice young couple they had here last year… but in the 3 years we’ve come here this company has gone through at least 5 or 6 different managers that I’ve met. What’s wrong with this corporate picture? Can’t hold onto anyone? I see why. Again, refer to #2, which surely lies on the shoulders of someone who is making a boat load of money but not a drop is going back into this place, that’s for sure!!!
I’d better stop with lucky 8. I could go on for pages (and might decide to edit this later – my stupid sister loves this beach and we intend to go back at least once more this year.)
In any case, the beach is nice. The fishing and crabbing can be good. The local town has a great pizzeria calls Southwind and several nice gift and art shops. Other than that, I cannot in good conscience recommend it. Oh yea, if you aren’t careful, the directions are incorrect on some websites and will leave you stuck in a cul-​de-​sac almost directly in the Bay. Oh, and Verizon does not get cell signal here. Oh, and they have no cable tv. Oh… and…ok, I’ll stop now. You get the picture. Resort? What a snort!
