A Few Words on Virginia Landing:
As mentioned earlier in this post in order to get to Virginia Landing you need to take the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, which for the RV to cross is $20. Crossing the bridge is a pretty neat thing to see. To see photos of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge check out my Cheeapeake Bay Bridge flickr photoset. Also make sure you have insect spray, there is a lot of water and a lot of mosquitoes.
The campsites at Virginia Landing and the club house are separated by a neighborhood. It is a little neighborhood and most of the people are polite and friendly. Overall the park is really quite (we visited in August).
