Indian Cove RV Resort (The Cove), Virginia Beach, Virginia

      From our last campground in Newport, NC, the drive to Indian Cove was crazy.  I can't imagine how anyone could possibly make the trip without GPS.  The roads are narrow with no aprons on either side, but after hours of white-knuckle driving, we made it to the resort.  Other than the surprise of a $9 per night resort fee, we were very impressed with the park.  The sites had concrete pads to park on and lots of green grass to get out and enjoy.  Most every site backed-up to water and are spaced enough so that you aren't camping on top of your neighbor.  The pictures can far better describe the park than I can.  It has three pools, one is open every day and two are open just on the weekends until the middle of June and then they are open every day as well.  Our visit included a beautiful June weekend, so the park was filled with kids.  Saturday night they had a DJ and a big graduation party.  If you're a boat owner, you tie your boat up at night right at your site.  The park is very well laid-out and all the sites are very nice.  This is definitely a park for us to return to.

     While we were there, we made a couple of trips to the beach at Virginia Beach.  We had to try out my daughter's suggestion of Chick's Oyster Bar.  On the weekend we were there, there was a boardwalk art show/sell.  The boardwalk (paved) runs between the beach and the hotels, there is even a separate path for bicycles just a few feet away.  Virginia Beach is beautiful with lots to see, do, and eat.  When we visit here in the future we will plan on staying longer.
