Diversity is the spice of life and Chesapeake has plenty of it to go around, when you combine the convenience of renting an RV with Chesapeake’s surrounding nature. The first stop on the list for many nature lovers, especially those who love creatures, is Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. Here you’ll find great trails for hiking or biking. You can also spend your visit boating, fishing, watching the birds, or any other of the local critters you are liable to see. While you are in the area, check out the Dismal Swamp State Park, with its own collection of trails to traverse. Dipping into North Carolina, near South Mills, this is a relaxing spot that has some awesome kayaking opportunities. Why go that far though when you can enjoy Chesapeake City Park. This is a small pine forest park in the city where you can enjoy a game of horseshoes, relax, or maybe see if you can still handle a skateboard. Parks are awesome, but every once in a while you just want to relax by the lake. Lake Drummond has you covered here, with almost five square miles of coverage. Drive the Chesapeake rental RV over here for some fishing, boating, or a nice walk around the bend. Moving back to the parks, but keeping the water theme going, we have Northwest River Park. This place is 763 acres of beautiful Virginia naturescape, with some great trails for hiking. It even has an 18-hole disc golf course. When you book a camper rental in Chesapeake, your visit is not complete without a visit to Oak Grove Lake Park. It isn’t a big park but it is gorgeous and has a nice 1.5-mile trail to explore. You also might want to check out Great Bridge Lock Park with its interesting mariner architecture. This park also isn’t big, but it offers a great way to get to the water. Renting an RV in Chesapeake to catch all of the seasonal changes is a nature lover’s dream.
