We were looking for a gym and decided to take advantage of the gym located on base (Oceana). There is ample parking and it's very spacious. It has different types of equipment that I'm sure meets everyone needs. It's maintained very well and in addition to the employees constantly cleaning, the expectation is that everyone clean up after themselves once they finish using the equipment. We haven't explored the entire gym but hope to do so soon. They post everything that is available and there is plenty to pick from.

It's always clean, well-maintained, and I have yet to experience any major delays - and isn't that one of the most important things when traveling? That said, the biggest downside is the lack of dining options. It's surprising, because even smaller airports often offer more variety. It would be great to see more choices for travelers who want a decent meal before their flight. Functionally, I'd give the airport *5 stars* for efficiency and cleanliness, but only *3 stars or less* for food options. That puts my overall rating at a solid *4 stars*

At the station, there's a lot of construction currently for the casino and a very little drop off/pick up area. Don't bother leaving your car because the only parking is across the street under the interstate without supervision. I suggest a ride or the Tide to drop you off. I'll definitely use the train again!

I generally come to this station monthly for an in-person work meeting that's only 0.1 miles away from this station. I start my ride at the Newtown Rd. Station. My most recent ride was on May 15, 2026. The Eastbound and Westbound Stations on opposite sides of the road. You want to make sure that you are on the correct platform. The area around the station can be quite busy. I love that they have a braille sign for the station too, so those that can't see can tell which station they are at. You can see you're in the heart of the city. There are many things to do nearby as well. I've never felt unsafe in this area. I was able to see places such as Nauticus and Waterside Dr. that weren't too far from the station too, so that's a great way to get there too. The ferry to get over to Portsmouth isn't too far away either. As of May 2026, they have changed how you pay for riding The Tide Light Rail System. Discounted tickets are no longer available at the new ticket vending machines. You will need to get a GoMobile Fare Card, or now, as of May 18, 2026, you can just tap to pay by using a credit or debit card at the Fare Validator (photos included). To use the Fare Validator, you would open the GoMobile App, use a physical GoMobile Card, or Credit/Debit Card. In the app, you need to choose the card you are using and place it towards the top part of the validator. If you have a QR code, you can go down just a bit to that other reader on the fare validator. It costs $2 to get the fare card itself, and then you can load funds to it at the ticket vending machine or through the GoMobile app. The total cost for a day will be no more than $4.50. The first two rides will be $2, followed by the third being $0.50. Any further rides on the light rail that day will incur no additional charges. Overall, this is a great way to get to the heart of the city through the light rail system. You get to save some miles and gas/electricity for your vehicle too. Even better, you don't have to deal with accidents and such that may occur on Interstate Two-Sucksty Four (I-264) in Norfolk. You don't have to deal with the costs of parking in Norfolk since parking is free at their park and ride lots available at select stations (not at this one). All in all, this is a great way to get around.

My most recent ride along the rail line was on May 15, 2026. Although the station is called the Newtown Rd. station, it is actually located on Curlew Rd, which is not too far off from Newtown Rd. This is a pretty big area, as there are several bus stop connections here, as well as a large parking area just across the street. Parking is free. There isn't much else around the immediate vicinity of this station and have never felt safety was an issue here. As of May 2026, they have changed how you pay for riding The Tide Light Rail System.

The reason for my travel is generally to go to a monthly in-person work meeting at the TowneBank Tower. The MacArthur Station is just 0.1 miles from that building. Plus, I don't have to deal with the traffic along Interstate Two-Sucks-ty-Four (I-264) and parking in the city. Doing it this way takes the stress off when it comes to driving in Norfolk. Almost every time I have ridden so far, I have ridden past an accident on the interstate while riding the light rail. Overall, the Newtown Road Light Rail Station has been good to me. I have not encountered any issues or feeling unsafe. This is a great way to get into the heart of Norfolk without dealing with the traffic and parking in the city. If you plan to visit downtown Norfolk, this is a great way to get around the city during your visit.

I took my first ride on the Tide this year. I remember how much I wanted to jump on way back when…read morethey had the inaugural launch and were offering free and/or reduced fares. Somehow it never worked out, even though it would make downtown trips less painstaking. My opportunity to ride the tide came as part of a work project. The team and I arrived early in the morning on a brisk day. The parking lot has an abundance of spaces, more than adequate for the average number of passengers riding the Tide daily. Parking is free. HRT has a connection here for those needing to take the bus to the TIDE or once they depart from the TIDE. And there are a few shelters for the HRT riders to wait under. There are also a few ticket vending machines where you purchase your fare. The team and I climbed the platform where there were two shelters with seating that thankfully partially shielded us from the cold wind. The conductors were nice and greeted us. We felt safe with the security guard on duty walking through and keeping an eye on things. At a certain point of the ride all tickets are checked and confirmed as legit. We had all day passes which cost $4. The TIDE was packed during the morning commute but was practically empty by 2 pm. Get dropped of directly in front of the Mall, Library, and the baseball stadium. Because it was my first ride I wanted to know what to expect. I looked up and memorized a few facts which came in handy as I told the team how fast the average speed was of the car and the max speed as well as the occupancy, and the max occupancy with commuters standing. Maximum Operational Speed is 55 mph. Maximum Number of Seated Passengers is 68 and the Total Passenger Capacity is 160-180.

We loved how we weren't stacked on top of another camper and had our own little space. The two beaches are beautiful to watch the sunsets and collect beach glass. I also enjoyed taking my two boys outside. The people here are friendly from the staff to the campers. They are always willing to help and answer any questions. I really met some awesome people here. They do have a bath house and a playground. Other amenities included a basketball court, volleyball court, camp store, and they also accept all your mail & packages. The playground was sorta run down and I wished so badly it was in better shape for my two little boys. I also think a laundry facility would be a big help with the full timers. I can tell these owners care about their property. They keep up with maintenance and are trying to make the campground look nicer! Overall, would definitely recommend! Going to miss this place!

The pros: secluded spot at the end of the road, small beach area to swim & fish, trash cans to dispose of waste. There was a playground & basketball court towards the store (both were a little worn, but my son enjoyed them regardless. Balls & chalk were provided which was awesome) Cons: We did have a few people venture down to our campsite at various times which was kind of odd. Not sure how the staff could improve on that as most people seemed to just be exploring the property. I will say the people that did venture down during the day were kind, and respectful, but one was at 10pm, which startled us a little. Overall we will be coming back, probably with a few other "overland" friends. The "Primitive Spot A" was a gem, my son had a blast in the water.
