Summary:
Waterside campsite in an small abandoned vineyard on deep water tidal creek. Deep Creek is brackish and part of the intercoastal waterway that leads to a lock system. Shallow entry for swimming or launching a canoe or kayak. Feel like you're in a back country retreat while only 20 minutes from Virginia Beach!
There are also plenty of hiking trails around the area such as Stumpy Lake Natural Area, Lake Smith/ Lake Swanson Natural Area, Oak Grove Lake Park, and many more! If you want to explore the local culture there is something for everyone from Axe Throwing in Virginia Beach to Topgolf or The Adventure Park At Virginia Aquarium for family fun.
We also have some extras you can add on to your booking so you can enjoy the lake without worrying about bringing your own kayak or canoe. We also having fishing rods and tackles available!
The Space:
Nearby getaway in Chesapeake VA
Guest Access:
This is an exclusive Tentrr Signature campsite. Tentrr partners with land owners to offer unique accommodations in beautiful outdoor spaces. Our campsites are off-the-grid which means they generally do not have access to electricity, wifi, or modern plumbing. Instead, they offer the chance to relax, unplug, and fully experience nature!
Your Tentrr campsite includes a 10'x12' (120 square feet) safari-style canvas tent on a raised wooden platform. Inside the tent you'll find one queen bed with a memory foam mattress. The tent is big enough for the bed plus one or two extra sleeping bags on the floor. Aside from the canvas tent, campers can also use the extra 5-person pop-up dome tent that’s provided. You'll also have a 6-ft picnic table, outdoor fire pit, and 2 Tentrr Adirondack chairs.
Max Occupancy: This refers to the total number of campers allowed onsite with your reservation.
Toilets: Every campsite is equipped with a camp toilet (we call it the Tentrr Loo). This is a simple wooden box with a toilet seat and a bucket inside. To use, line the bucket with a CleanWaste Sani-Bag supplied at the camp prior to use. Afterwards, simply tie the bag up and place it in a trash bag. CleanWaste Sani-Bags use a NASA-developed gelling/deodorizing agent that helps prevent spills and keeps everyone safe and clean.
Showers: Every Signature campsite comes with a Coleman Sun Shower. The sun shower has a reservoir that holds up to 5 gallons of water, potentially enough for multiple showers. It's constructed of heat-locking material that warms the water when it's left in the sun, even on cool days.
What you should bring:
-S'mores supplies & any food you'd like to eat
-A cooler to keep your grub from spoiling
Firewood
Other Things to Note:
Depending on the season, you can forage from persimmon trees, mulberry or wineberry bushes or figs. Fishing varies per season and tide, but speckled trout are prevalent certain times of year as well as blue crabs and catfish.
Be sure to clean up after yourselves, a $50 cleaning fee is the minimum which will be charged for any mess left at the campsite.
Interaction with Guests:
Upon check out, you should leave-no-trace of your stay and be sure your campsite is returned to its natural glory! While Tentrr does not charge a cleaning fee, we do expect campsites to be left how they were found. After you check out, take everything you brought in and be sure to leave your trash at the designated location.
If a Tentrr Host submits an incident report after your stay that details evidence of trash or damage to the campsite or the host's property, Tentrr reserves the right to charge a minimum cleaning fee of $50. Just make sure to follow the Camper Manual posted at your campsite and you'll be set!
Reservation Modifications/Cancellations: Please note the terms of the cancelation policy as they are outlined in your confirmation email. Your Tentrr Host is unable to change or cancel your reservation on your behalf, and they are unable to waive any cancellation fees (if applicable). If you have any questions regarding modifications to your booking, please reach out to Tentrr Customer Support.

Guest Reviews:
- "Overall I thought it was fine but needed a few things. 1. It seemed that everything was fairly new had just about everything you needed but silver wear. Had to go out and buy some plastic to eat with 2. Would be nice to have a 10-12 cup coffee instead of the single cup 3. Perhaps look at replacing the mattress's since they wear really pads and not a true mattress. Would I stay there again yes with some of the changes suggested"
