Camped here beginning of June with a group of 5 of us. We were on the beach side at campsites 12 and 13. Getting to the campsite: you do have to hike 7 miles (flat ground) to get to the campsite. The trail is very bike friendly so I recommend biking if you have the means. You can either walk on one of the Dikes or on the beach. We walked on the West dike (only one is open at a time). Most of it is not shaded up until the end. Campground: well-maintained and campsites were very private. The toilets are pit toilets but they are about as nice as pit toilets can get. Note of caution: the light is a motion sensor light in there and turns off after a couple seconds which can make your restroom experiences…interesting in the night. We camped at the campsite the first night and on the beach the second night. Camping on the beach was really nice minus the biting flies there. Lots of them and they don’t care about bug spray. Park staff: most were friendly minus one guy. Other than the one, all rangers were knowledgeable and very nice. Bugs: so many of them!! I had probably over 100 bug bites by the end of the weekend. Bring lots of bugspray and sunscreen. They have drinking water, but I would still recommend bringing some purification tablets or a filter with you. I would also recommend bringing some collapsible water containers to fill up so you’re not walking back and forth so much to the spigots. They have a shower as well you can rinse off at. There is also a visitor center that has snacks, and whatnot plus real bathrooms and AC. Overall. Highly recommend! Just being bug spray.

False Cape is an amazing place to enjoy nature's beauty. I bike there frequently, and it's my favorite local place to go. Wash woods cemetery is a fascinating look back at the area's history. I would definitely recommend to nature lovers!

This park was truly a beautifully experience!!! I would definitely recommend biking in, the hike is quite long and unshaded for the most part!! The campsite has a lantern hook and a picnic table; and while shaded, has lots of bugs. The beach is beautiful, and the pit toilets are pretty nice!! Be prepared to hike through the sand, and if you’re going beachside; Barbour Hill Oceanside campsite has drinking water and a shower head to rinse off!

We visited this park recently as part of our Trailquest adventure and were delighted to find that it was one of the best state parks out there. You can easily spend an entire day exploring this park! We did an overnight in the area so we could group First Landing, False Cape and Kiptopeke together. I would recommend riding a bike in since the "trail" the park is really a ~4-mile long gravel access road. We found a place that would deliver rental bikes to Little Island Park and left out from there. All day parking at Little Island was $4. Make sure to pack water, snacks, insect repellent and sunblock. Also, watch out for snakes sunning themselves on the trail!

If you have never taken the tram tour, well you should. You your the state Park. Learning about life when this area was first inhabited. A lot of animals live here as well. Many birds, snakes, and turtles. Pack a lunch cooler. They break for lunch at the visitor center. Bring plenty of drinks for a hot day. Bug spray is recommended. Enjoy the day. Camping on the beach. Beautiful sunrise. Just know there are no vehicles aloud. You can bike, walk or kayak into the campground. This state Park is one of the most remote park in Virginia.
