About
There is a RV dump station at Oceana Naval Air Station. They provide potable water and non-potable rinse water. To get there, take I-264 East and exit at 21A. Then, head south on First Colonial, which will turn into Oceana Blvd. Do not follow the sign for the main gate to Oceana NAS. Instead, turn right on Harpers Road.

They gave me 30 minutes notice that I needed to be out of the park - it was understood that active duty were extended out thru the end of their orders. The front office had a copy of my orders & the approved extension of my orders and failed to update my reservation. I should have verified but I was given 30 minutes notice on a Sunday that I needed to be out of the RV park. The drainage is terrible and the roads stay flooded, that also has led to the water to be unsafe to drink that comes thru the hook ups. There is also a severe lack of parenting and children run wild on bikes on the road that are not visible while driving. Frequently kids would be playing in the road with complete disregard for vehicles. It is sad that this park has gone downhill because I had stayed here previously. The young lady who gave me notice was rude , said it was not her responsibility and completely unprofessional.
The campground is nice, but considering the daily airplane noise, especially during late hours, the constant violation notices for small issues like bird feeders, and frequent power surges, it’s not worth the price for a full-time spot. MWR has much nicer, quieter, and cleaner facilities with friendlier staff for the same cost. Despite continual price increases, they fail to fix their equipment that causes electrical fires in campers or maintain the street lights. It seems like the office mainly focuses on issuing poorly spelled violation notices that lack proper grammar and look extremely unprofessional. We experienced a power surge that damaged our camper and left us without power for almost two weeks. When we contacted the office about fixing the power box on their end, they dismissed our concerns, suggesting we were being overly dramatic. We explained that our insurance company couldn't address the damage until they repaired their equipment. The office staff acted surprised but then told my husband he was "good to go." We didn't hear from them again until a week later, leaving us without power for a total of four weeks.
We have only been using our camper for about two years now so this review may be somewhat biased. Have stayed at several civilian run campgrounds which were nice but they are all stuffed tight to the point that some campers with awnings and sliders won't fit. That won't be a problem at any of these sites. They do have Wifi but it is very weak and non existent in some spots. All the sites that we have stayed at were level and hook ups close by. Yes there are many active military that live here and have to relocate every 30 days (rediculous). Most of these people are friendly and very helpful with setting up your camper or pointing out places to go for good eats or recreation. Even with several home steading campers there is usually an open spot as long as you plan ahead. The office, rest room, laundry is kept clean. The laundry machines do have their issues as most of them are out of order which I believe is due to age. They do try to keep them up but you can only do so much for 20 year old machines. There is only one person (Amanda) that is in the office from 10am to 4pm. That same person also makes regular rounds in the campgrounds. I think she does a wonderful job considering all her responsibilities. I have been in the office when three people were checking in and the phone ringing then someone comes in complaining they are having a hard time hooking up their camper. It's amazing she still has any hair left. Although this RV sight comes under MWR they do not get much financial assistance from them. The office manager has on her own set up a monthly pot luck which most of the campers participate in and she has a movie at the end. She also has set up easter egg hunts for the children. There is a 5 MPH speed limit which is strictly monitored by the manager AND residents, there are several young children in the park. Just remember this is not your luxury resort campground, No pool, No cable tv, No lake or pond, No real Wifi, or camp store but it is quiet except for the random sound of freedom and clean spacious sites. Also you are only paying 25$ and day for FHU for which can't be beat.
Great place. Several trees which is nice on got days. The lady in office (Dusti) is AWESOME! They try to have a family movie night every Friday night. They also try to do other little events for the campers on occasional holidays/weekends. Laundry is 75 cents per load. It is next to NAS Oceana so there is jet noise (sound of freedom) occasionally. Not sure why people on here book a site next to a Master Jet Base then complain about the jet noise.... Anyway, we like it here and will be coming back.
We had a variety of places to choose from, none had any shade but we had our pick. The temp office staff even helped avert getting our truck stuck in a super soft area that we didn't know existed. Our neighbor really kinda stunk but that is NO reflection on the park. You just can't pick your neighbors, she hates dogs. Every other dog lover was great!!!
