Coastal Virginia / Hampton Roads
Virginia Beach (Dam Neck) · 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.
Sea Mist RV Park is a Navy MWR campground on the Dam Neck Annex with direct Atlantic beach access, full hookups, bathhouses, and oceanfront RV rows. It is a strong recreational lead for eligible military-affiliated campers—but not a realistic full-time THOW home base: stays are capped at 60 days, access requires valid military/DoD ID, and sponsored guests need in-park sponsors plus base security clearance.
