About

Located on Virginia's Eastern Shore, Kiptopeke State Park provides recreational access to the Chesapeake Bay and serves as a major stopover point on the Atlantic flyway for migratory birds. The park features year-round accommodations including two and three-bedroom cabins, six-bedroom family lodges that sleep 16, a bunkhouse, and four yurts. Seasonal camping from early March through early December includes full-service RV sites with electric, water, and select sewer hookups, plus tent-only sites. The park offers extensive outdoor recreation with over 5 miles of hiking and biking trails through upland hardwood forest and coastal dunes, a lighted 24-hour fishing pier, boat ramp, kayak rentals, and nearly half a mile of unguarded swimming beach on the Chesapeake Bay open Memorial Day through Labor Day. The iconic concrete ships offshore provide excellent fishing opportunities. Educational programs focus on natural history, birding, and bay ecology, particularly during the fall migration season.
