RV Rental First Landing State Park, VA

Located on Cape Henry and with almost 3,000 acres of terrain to explore, First Landing State Park offers an abundance of recreational activities. Unsurprisingly, many of them center on the storied waters of Chesapeake Bay.

For many visitors, the highlight of the park is its one-and-a-quarter-mile stretch of beach, which is open all year round. It's the perfect spot to take a leisurely stroll and enjoy the sand between your toes, and maybe splash about in the shallows on a hot day. However, there are no lifeguards on duty in the park, so keep in mind that you'll be entering the water at your own risk.

If you're a keen angler, you'll want to make sure you remember to load a fishing rod or two in your rental RV. Both fishing and crabbing are popular pastimes in the park, but please note that you'll need a valid Virginia saltwater fishing license if you want to wet a line.

A boat launching area can be found at the Narrows in the southern area of the park, or you can cast a line from the shoreline here. From flounder to trout, there's a long list of species that call this area home, so fingers crossed you get lucky and hook a big one.

For those looking for something to do away from the water, First Landing State Park is also home to almost 20 miles of hiking trails. If you're a keen bird watcher and you're searching for an easy trek, tackle the White Hill Lake Trail and you can spot osprey, egrets, and more. If you're looking for something more challenging, the six-mile Cape Henry Trail should put a smile on your face.
