Ralph S.

Welcome to Holiday Trav-L-Park site 831 Virginia Beach VA. After sleeping like a "rock" Armstrong and I did a bit of early morning campground exploring! Located just 1.5 miles from the oceanfront, the Holiday Trav-L Park offers 1000 campsites - approx. 300 full hook-up, 400 water and electric, 250 tent sites and 34 cabins. A bit of campground history! In the 1960s, Phil Upton's father-in-law, Ralph "Pete" Boshers, owned some land in Virginia Beach that attracted a team of developers. They wanted to put a campground there and offered to bring Pete in as a partner if he'd simply supply the land. It wasn't that simple, though. "When the team went to the bank to get development loans, they had to use the land to secure the loan," Phil recalled. "And as development progressed, they ended up running out of money. They had to declare bankruptcy, and they were going to lose the land to the bank." Pete wasn't about to let that happen, so he took on the project, worked to complete the campground, and in 1974, he opened the park to the public.

The grounds are really nice! Unfortunately the water pressure was not the best but they have facilities to use. It's a really nice vibe going on here and everyone is very friendly. We are enjoying our time away from the everyday grind. Check them out, they are located in different states.

Trick or treating
Elizabeth A.

We have been coming here for the past ten years, and I know of others who have been coming for many more. We love this campground because of the activities that are offered, which include bingo, bands, djs, and different special events throughout the year. One of the biggest events the park offers are their Halloween weekends in October, which are always sold out. There's trick or treating, a flashlight candy hunt, a "haunted circus" and more! The comfort stations are cleaned on a regular basis, and even on the busiest weekends are usually in good shape. Of course there are always times when kids make a mess and it hasn't been cleaned up yet, however the staff works hard to insure this doesn't happen. During the summer months, you can use your parking pass to park at the designated parking lot at the oceanfront, which is nice because parking at the oceanfront is always a nightmare during peak season. If you're looking for a fun place to spend some family time, definitely book here, you won't regret it!

Cabins have bedbugs

Great place, good family time. Staff has been super friendly as well as everyone we have interacted with here. This was our second time staying, last year we had an rv and thought we would simplify with a cabin this year. That being said, we did have a few issues, things that could be fixed. We originally booked here because we were told it was dog friendly. My husband and I were debating about bringing our family dog rather than put her in a kennel, so I called to confirm fee, if dogs were accepted in our "air conditioned" cabin sat july 18. I was told dogs were prohibited in cabins. Arrived saw dogs at 2-3 cabins, called office, asked about dog rule and was told we could have brought our dog in the "air condition cabin" and it would have only been $5 day extra. Bummer we were misinformed and shelled out over $150. Next issue - bedbugs. I knew when I told them I was getting ate up, it would get flipped and if they came to look they wouldn't find them. Well guess what, I did tell them our second night because I was ate up really bad. I had even put all sheet and blankets in dryer for 45min after first night and still got ate up second night. I could actually feel them biting me and have not slept well. Just a heads up. I'm really grossed out, it's our last day. Kids are in bunk beds haven't had a bite but my husband lays next to me and his knees are ate up too. We are going to pay to treat everything we brought including our suv when we get home. Not the kind of end of a vacation I really want to do on top of expenses for treating for bedbugs. I am not allergic to anything not poison anything so I know it's not a reaction to nature greenery. Not a happy camper that I'm ate up and itchy. Otherwise, we have had a great time!! Between the DJ, karaoke, 4 open pools, putt putt, golf cart parades and light up parades - it makes it the perfect place for family. Free parking in private lot 1 block over from beach is included. Amazing!! Even though we had a few issues, the memories this place has brought us have been phenomenal and already planning on returning next year in an RV.

The dirt sites and hookups.
M C.

This was our first stay here. It's quite expensive for the crappy sites they have. They told us we had a level and wide site. It was wide for sure, but it was far from being level. The family in the next site had their fire pit right next to our hookups, so if we had stayed, they would have set our rv on fire. The roads are very narrow and mostly dirt. The park moved us to a different site. It wasn't level or wide, but it worked better for us. We had full hookups and the site was dirt and leaves. Made it hard to keep the inside of the rv clean. Trees had large acorns on them and they fell on our rv all times of day and night, scarring the dogs. The military was flying loud jets over us every day, starting at 9am and again at 1pm to 3pm. It was so loud, we had to wear ear plugs and they hurt our dogs ears. We would never want to stay here for a long period. We read the park rules and we abide by them, but no one else does. The campers across from us let their 2 big dogs bark constantly and tired them outside while they were inside. They would open the windows and take off, leaving the dogs to bark constantly out the window. It was really annoying and management didn't do anything about it. They came out at 6:30am and started up their Harley. It ran for 20 minutes with owner gunning it off and on during that 20 minutes. We complained to management but they didn't do anything. They said we could move, but we weren't the campers breaking ALL the rules. Per their rules, they should have been kicked out. This park charges outrageous fees for everything. If you have a visitor, it is $6 per person for over 2 hours. That isn't per car! like most parks. We were here to visit friends in the area and they recommended this park. However, after our stay, they won't be recommending this place to any one. Management needs to step it up or find new management. We saw dogs allowed to run loose and bark. We were just waiting for one to bite us or someone else. We weren't told it was a special event weekend when we reserved our site and they didn't tell us after we got here about the events until we asked. Campers were partying into the early hours of the morning and no security any where to enforce the rules. It's really hard to sleep if you're sober camping here with all the riff-raff. We're not sure we will return to camp here. We definitely would not recommend this place to anyone.

Mud you had to drive through and the huge humps you had to back over. The wet mushy grass as well.
Kymberly F.

Very busy and loud campground, which is not that bad. The part we are upset about is that they parked us in grass and mud! We have a brand new class a camper and vehicle and had to drive that and park it in mud, bc they are doing renovations or add ons to the park. They should have called and told us that you will parked and driving through mud!

Cabin when we were all done about to leave...full bed and bunk beds. Includes a desk, AC unit (keeps nice and cold!) And small shelf
Chris H.

Pretty nice campground...didn't get to experience the full place since pools were not yet open (pandemic ... They open July 1st) but for the weekend since we stayed in cluster of cabins and a campsite. Really just stayed around there...there was a pond nearby with box turtles and heads of snapping turtles (so watch out could be dangerous) and much later at night frogs because kids were catching them. Nearby us was also a gaga pit - I will leave out the game explanation - but needless to say it involves a ball and a lot of movement to dodge the ball! Perfect for kids but hey adults can enjoy it to just expect to be really tired... The cabins are nice we had they had a bed, bunk bed, table, AC and just enough space to drop your stuff to hang out outside with the picnic table...or when you get multiple cabins just put them together. We covered with table covers and used tacks and then put up canopies for cover. The bugs at night can get pretty bad but Deet based big spray works good and the having a fire in the campfire rings are helpful too especially if lots of people around have fires too. Really popular to ride around on bikes or golf carts...I even think they offer rentals but one of our friends had a golf cart which was heavily used. We also had a campsite ... And I'm not sure if they had electrical connections there but we did at the cabins and used extension cords for all their power needs on the porch. Rather close to the beach ... They do offer free parking but it's tough sometimes to find an open space and when you do go you need to keep your paper in the car on the dashboard. Bathrooms were pretty good shape - not very clean for showers but good enough and better than most others I have been at. Could have used more stalls but it worked...not always hot water but seems most of the time.

The campsites are clean and well-kept and are located right next to the beach. As a previous person noted, you must be affiliated with the DoD for access to the Dam Neck Annex - the Navy base the campground is located on. I have two critiques that prevent me from a five-star review. The first is that the campsites are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. We made our reservations in January for our August trip based on recommendations from friends and knowing the campground would fill up quickly. When we arrived on Tuesday afternoon at 2pm, after driving seven hours to get there, the only spots remaining were the two "shared" sites. Each was already half occupied by someone we didn't know. The space between the sites is no more than what you'd get in a parking lot (you share the same concrete pad). A reservation system that allowed you to reserve specific sites would fix this. The second critique is that there seems to be a lot of long-term campers. Not seasonal, but long term. These people have their RVs or travel trailers essentially parked in prime spots and they weren't there, at least during our visit. I get it it. If they pay, they get to stay. Perhaps, though, the number of those campers should be limited to allow families on vacation more opportunities to take advantage of the campground. Overall, though, it's a good campground. We may be back in the future. Knowing what I know now, though, we'll use a different strategy when we arrive.

UPDATE: We have stayed here about a dozen times now and love it just as much as the first time!…read more We have NEVER had any complaints! Cant wait for our next trip! We LOVED our time here! The pictures do not do this place justice! We stayed in a cottage near the beach and it was perfect. The cottages were very clean and not too close together (where we were anyway.) We took full advantage of the pool and the river also, as it was probably the hottest weekend of the summer! All of the staff were awesome and super accommodating. The place was almost totally booked up and yet sooo quiet at night, you'd never have believed it. The other campers were all respectful and friendly. There were a lot of activities to do for the kids which was really cool. We got up early on checkout day to find what we thought would be the perfect spot for our next trip in a few weeks and booked it before we even checked out. Soo happy to have stumbled upon this great spot!!!

But on the good side staff were all amazing. Food was great. Pool over crowed with kids just doing whatever they wanted. No supervision. They are a bit crazy about the parking situation.

I had an amazing camping trip here. Amenities:…read moreThey have restrooms, showers, laundry on site, playgrounds, etc. Campground: The campgrounds were spread out very nicely. You are a little close to your neighbors, but it still feels spacious. We stayed in a tent spot that came with a picnic table, an area for a fire pit, and plenty of trees to set up a hammock. Behind our spot, there was a nice wooded area with a trail. Pet friendly: We brought our dog with us and she enjoyed her time there. Kid friendly: This was paradise to the kids. They had a beautiful playground near the campgrounds. All of the trails were awesome and easy for them to navigate. They enjoyed fishing also. I will definitely return. This is a perfect place to come and unplug. Tips: **Bring your own toilet paper. The bathrooms there ran out a few times since it was a busy weekend.**

They have taken good care of the park over the years and have improved on the entire area. Plenty of parking to the left as soon as you enter the park. The Office is close to the entrance next to the lake. They have a nice area for fishing. You just need to bring n active fresh water fishing license. They also post when they have stocked the lake last. I love that for only $10 an hour you can rent a canoe. They have lots of life jackets of all sizes and plenty of different paddles. For us this was perfect. At a nice leisurely pace it took us an hour and a half to paddle the entire water way. We had a great time and will definitely go and do this again. The water way is peaceful with plenty of shade. My favorite part of the water trail is that you get to go under a couple of beautiful bridges. They also offer kayaks and paddles for those. The best part is that they have a boat launch area. You stay perfectly dry getting in and out. They have hiking trails. The one thing is that they could mark their trails better. We found that they did not mark the water way trail either. But it certainly makes it an adventure. We had someone tell us to look on our google map on our phone to find out our location. You can pick up a paper map but you can still get lost. It is helpful if you have google map or hiking map app. They have a nice small mini golf area. Very well kept and clean. We did not play but there were plenty of people playing the mini golf. Camping area is nice. They have a kids playground in the camping area. They have water and electrical hook ups for RV's. They have Cabin's with heat and AC. You can also take a tent and hammocks . Wide variety of camping in this area and it is very well kept.

WARNING: This is NOT a "comfort camping" type of place... It is not a KOA or a resort of any kind…read more No pool, no camp store, and one bathroom for all to share! That said; We really enjoyed our stay here at Little Creek Campground... While we did get rained out, the two days and one night we got to spend were nice. We were looking for something a little more woodsy and secluded and this fit our needs great. Most of the tent sites are off in the woods a bit, so you must hike in a bit (like, a couple hundred feet) which is worth it for the woodsy experience you get, in my opinion! Our site (#7) was spacious and clean-ish (c'mon, it's the woods) and there was placement for multiple small tents or one larger family tent. The sites are not terribly close together. You can her the hum of voices from your neighbors, but no actual voices carried over. Overall, it was great. For $10/night we will definitely be back!
