This is an excellent location for birdwatchers who want to be close to Kiptopeke and the wildlife refuge. Even though it is on a noisy highway, it is surprisingly quiet at night.

The hotel and campground were well staffed and taken care of. They were also very accommodating to all of our needs. It would have been nice to have a shuttle from the hotel to the beach and the food prices were a little high at the restaurant.

I thought we were staying at a class hotel in Cape Charles, not a KOA / motel 10 miles from Cape Charles proper.
