Kiptopeke State Park - Cape Charles, Virginia (October 2019)

The third stop on the 2019 Southeast Coast WBCCI Caravan was Kiptopeke State Park in Virginia. It was located across the bay from Norfolk.

According to the online reviews, the camping fees were recently raised to more than $50. Several reviewers said they were upset over the higher prices and would no longer stay there. 

Price may have been a factor because there were more empty sites than ones filled with happy campers. Of course, the prime camping season at that park ended around Labor Day.

This was a short stop and it rained most of the time we were there. It seemed as if everyone was outside once the rain stopped. We found a great boardwalk that overlooked the Chesapeake Bay.
