Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

Come enjoy the serene views of Marsh Duck Way located in The Back Bay/Pungo area of Virginia Beach. A night under the moon and stars is all it takes to recharge. Whether it’s practicing mindfulness, reconnecting with yourself, moving your body, practicing gratitude, or simply watching the birds, fishing, crabbing, a quick getaway can offer space to focus on what means most to you. Waking up to the symphony of birds chirping in the morning and a gentle breeze rustling through the native foliage as you lay in the hammock enjoying your morning coffee uninterrupted by car horns and cell phone rings? This is available in Virginia Beach? Yes…there’s a place where you can still catch sight of a deer or fox through the tall trees, spot dancing river otters on the bank or in the creek. The Wildlife Refuge is adjacent to this property and across the bay…In this area of Pungo you can expect to see migratory birds, more than 300 species call this place home…which affords some of the best bird-watching opportunities on the East Coast. While this is especially true during the fall and winter months, when thousands of birds, such as snow and Canadian geese, tundra swans and a variety of duck species flock to the Bay to rest and feed before their long journey south, many species can be spotted year-round. Osprey, gannets, gulls and terns can be seen fishing and wax myrtles line the canal to the bay which provides habitats for a variety of nesting songbirds. There is no shortage of waterfowl that can be spotted here. In addition to a large number of avian visitors each year, Back Bay is also home to many other species that crawl, swim, scurry and slither with a variety of snakes and turtles. Few places on the East Coast offer such unique beauty and diversity of wildlife and opportunities to experience all of these wonderful creatures in their natural habitats abound. Head out of our private launch on a paddle boat, paddle board or one of our kayaks into the Back Bay. These are available as extras😊. There is a fire pit, firewood, a kudu grill and string lighting throughout the trees! The wild is calling you at The Back Bay Marsh Duck Way Campsite. All you have to do is answer.This property allows you to set up your campsite situated within the 2 acres of trees, under the string lights or on the bank of the canal whichever you prefer! This campsite is waterfront with spectacular views and a hammock nestled in between the trees for your use. You can fish, crab and have a bonfire…firewood is provided at the site. There is a trashcan on the property to dispose of trash…please clean up after yourself before you leave : )

Great campsite! The hammock and string lights added a good ambiance, and the stars at night were pretty. Clear and simple instructions too!

The camping area is in the pine trees is nice and the ground is soft. The marsh view is not what I thought it would be. But that is because you are in the middle of the talk reeds. You can see down a creek where we saw ducks and, I think, otters. The sky is actually dark at night which is hard to find even in camping spots.

Winter camping

The campsite is surrounded by lots of nice tall trees on one side with a nice hammock and string lights which gave a nice ambience at night. The other side is the small body of water. The firepit is a couple of steps away and plenty of firewood piled up near the trees that you can use. We especially like the clear skies during the night because we could see the stars and was able to identify the Orion constellation and planets that were visible. Sadly, we stayed only one night because the forecast called for rain the next day with cold temperatures and it can get muddy. If you like some solitude and privacy, this campsite was so quiet at night and we slept really well. We did not see any wildlife but heard birds. Overall, it was a decent winter camping experience. The host is quick to respond to questions and respected our privacy.

Great camp site! Scenic views of some bay waterways and a great ambience. Wish we had brought some food to barbecue on the Kudu grill at the site. Would definitely stay here again.
