Bells Island Campground

5 RV Sites

Bells Island Campground in Currituck, NC, offers 5 RV sites alongside tent camping on 22 acres of Currituck Sound shoreline. The published record here is thin: contact the campground directly for hookups, amp service, and maximum rig length before you book, and plan to arrive prepared rather than assuming full service. That said, 22 acres of sound frontage for five RV sites is an unusual ratio, and the space is the product. Picnicking is the listed on-site recreation, with the sound itself supplying the rest — this is a fishing, crabbing, and birding stretch of water. Currituck sits midway between the Outer Banks resort communities to the south and Virginia Beach to the north, on the western shore of Currituck Sound. The Currituck Banks reserve, the Whalehead Club, and the wild horses of Corolla are all within a reasonable drive, and the sound is one of the most remarkable brackish systems on the Atlantic coast. Rates and availability are on the booking page. With five sites and limited published detail, calling the campground before you commit is the right move.

Waterfront and waterview back-in categories join a standard tier, with a water park, marina, fishing pier, and food trucks. Seventy-five back-in sites run in standard, waterview, and waterfront categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Three categories and one question — how close to the water — which makes booking straightforward. Twenty-six cottages, including waterfront units and waterview cottages with rooftop sun decks, plus 28 glamping safari tents with air conditioning and private bathrooms, make the lodging range genuinely unusual. A laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A water park and outdoor pool anchor the summer, with a marina and fishing pier opening the bay for boating and fishing. A clubhouse, sports courts, golf cart rentals, a playground, pavilion, food trucks, swimming, and picnicking fill the rest. Pets are welcome. The pony penning swim every July draws visitors from across the country to watch the wild Assateague ponies cross the channel — one of America's most celebrated wildlife traditions, and the resort sits right where you want to be for it. Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge and Assateague's beaches are close. Pony penning week and summer fill the island completely. Reserve as early as you can for July.

BluFin Bungalows & Marina

Chincoteague Island, Virginia, sits at the narrow end of a causeway connecting the Eastern Shore to the barrier islands of Assateague, where one of the Atlantic Coast's most distinctive wildlife spectacles plays out each summer. BluFin Bungalows & Marina positions guests at the water's edge in Chincoteague's working waterfront district, combining conventional bungalow accommodations with the property's most unusual offering: the Bungalow Boats, floating accommodations moored at the marina that put guests literally on the water. For anyone who has ever wanted to sleep rocking gently in a coastal tidal channel surrounded by marsh and open sky, BluFin delivers that experience. The property offers both land-based bungalows and the floating Bungalow Boats, which are self-contained units moored at the marina dock — a genuine novelty that makes this one of the few places on the Virginia coast where a night on the water doesn't require boat ownership. The marina provides access to Chincoteague Channel and the tidal waters surrounding the island, with crabbing and fishing immediately accessible from the dock. Soft-shell and blue crab are the local specialty, and the channel produces flounder, rockfish, and red drum for those fishing from the pier or launching kayaks from the property. Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge covers the southern portion of Assateague Island across the bridge from town, protecting one of the East Coast's finest shorebird habitats and the internationally famous Chincoteague ponies — a herd of feral horses that has inhabited the island for centuries, believed by some to be descended from survivors of a Spanish shipwreck. Guests staying at BluFin are within easy reach of the refuge's beach, dunes, and pine maritime forest, along with Assateague Lighthouse, whose distinctive red spiral stripes make it one of the most photographed structures on the Delmarva Peninsula. The Chincoteague Pony Swim, held annually on the last Wednesday and Thursday of July, has drawn crowds to the island since the 1920s. On the appointed morning, the pony herd is rounded up by volunteer Saltwater Cowboys and swum across the Assateague Channel to Chincoteague, where foals are auctioned to benefit the local fire company before the adults swim back. The event fills every available accommodation on the island and surrounding area weeks in advance, and watching the ponies emerge from the channel is one of the genuinely memorable wildlife moments available anywhere on the East Coast. Kayak tours of the refuge's back channels offer intimate wildlife viewing year-round. Summer is high season on Chincoteague, with the Pony Swim in late July representing the island's absolute peak demand period — plan reservations months in advance if that event is the draw. Spring and fall bring migratory waterfowl and shorebirds to the refuge in enormous numbers, making shoulder-season visits especially rewarding for birders; the crowds thin dramatically after Labor Day. Winter is quiet and uncrowded, with the ponies visible on the beach and excellent birding without competition for viewing spots. The island's restaurants, galleries, and gift shops cater to visitors year-round, though some seasonal businesses close November through March.

Two things to note: service is 50-amp, so bring an adapter if your rig runs 30, and an all-pull-through layout means no backing at any site. Thirty-five cabins, 83 tent sites, 21 glamping sites, and rental RVs make the lodging range exceptional. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, and firewood handle the practical side. A free Jellystone Park app and the Club Yogi Rewards program are both available.
