Here is an unusual setup that works for those who need to pitch a tent outside for extra people. One of the Cabins on the other side of the road is positioned right at the back end of this lot. This arrangement works fine for those that don't want to pitch a tent and want to use the Cabin instead, but it will not work for lot users that don't need the Cabin as there is no privacy between the two. The Lot and the Cabin have to be rented separately.

Virginia Beach VA The park is where English colonists first landed in 1607. Native American canoes, Colonial settlers, 20th-century schooners and modern cargo ships have navigated the park's waterways. Its cypress swamps were a source of fresh water for merchant mariners, pirates and military ships during the War of 1812. Legend has it that Blackbeard hid in the Narrows area of the park, and interior waterways were used by Union and Confederate patrols during the Civil War. Built in part by an all African-American Civilian Conservation Corps in 1933-1940, the park is a National Natural Landmark and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
