Virginia Beach (Back Bay) · City of Virginia Beach
Community type: An RV park or resort that welcomes tiny homes on wheels and park models on long-term or seasonal sites.
North Bay Shore Campground is an 87-site family campground on the Back Bay side of Virginia Beach, surrounded by Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge with canal-front sites, a boat ramp, and freshwater fishing. Full-hookup RV rows (30/50 amp, water, sewer) sit alongside premium waterfront pads; reviewers note many seasonal and long-term residents, giving the property a more residential feel than a typical overnight campground—making it a second-tier Sandbridge-area lead worth calling about THOW placement.
