Tom's Cove Campground, Chincoteague

I've had the best times at this camp grounds,I've been lots of places but I keep on coming back to Tom's Cove. I will be back to camp there again and again.The Fishing is great, Beach is clean.Pony Swim is Alsome thing to watch.Great place for the kids also.

Toms cove is seemed to be a great hot spot in VA. We decided to try for ourselves. Lets just start off with if your fine with camping parking lot style, this is your place. The security guards are real pains, And change rules everyday. It rains almost everyday and the bugs are terrible. So much for spending half your camping trip in your camper/tent. The only ood thing about Toms Cove is the pony swim, THATS IT! If youve never tried Fish Creek Ponds in the adirondacks your really missing out on what camping is. Our family 50+ people camping experiance turned out to be horrible, We hated it here! thumbs down.

Been going since a kid, Huge family 70/100 at times and we love it. Clean bathrooms, nice size sites,nice game room, pool(could be larger) but nice. store has just about everything you would need. Now the bads, We are a fishing/crabbing family and we bring several boats down with us and there is not enough parking in the marina. I would suggest to expand by taking that old kidding pool area and makinh the marina larger. It would be nice if they sunk a little money into the boat ramp because it is very to launch our boats which are around 20-21 ft long. We sometimes have to go in pay at the Curtis Merrit ramp because Toms Cove is needs to be dredged and parking needs looking into for the boats. If this was taken acre of Toms Cove would be the most complete campground. Just remember was campers coemwith boats and sre fishing men & women. Thanks for listen. Mountain Man from Fairfield PA.

We just got back home from camping at Tom's Cove. We did not want to leave. It was awesome! We camped right on the water. Our little girl loved it. She loved fishing right at our campsite. From morning to night. She loved feeding the ducks and searching for things when the tide was low. The campground is clean. It is very family oriented. While we were there, there was a lot of other families with children the same age as ours. They have a pool but we never had the chance to swim in it. They have a great game room for the kids that offers a great snack bar. A pier you can fish off of. There is a store with plenty of fishing supplies. The bathrooms and showers were cleaned daily. I have no complaints. They even picked up our trash each day at 10am. The seagulls did wake us up early but that only meant more time to explore Chincoteage. It is very nice. We saw the wild ponies from our campsite as well as the Asaateague Lighthouse. We rented a boat from Capt. Bob's and spent the day fishing. We spent two days at the beach. There is people selling fresh seafood along the roadside. If you go, you have to visit the creamery, they have the best homemade ice cream. My only regret about our trip is we did not stay longer. We plan to make it a yearly visit. This time I want to bring a canoe. You will not be disappointed. It is a great place. I have read the reviews and a lot of people complainted that they are behind in times when it comes to registration but it adds to the atmosphere . They do not take credit cards, everything is done with cash. They do have an atm in their store, if you need cash.

me and my family (and there is about 10-13 familys that go same time every year) love to go to toms cove I have been going for 11 years and I am going to go every year for the rest of my life. It is very clean and the kids love it

Lets just start off by saying the check in is a century old. You canreserve spots but you can reserve spots. Dont get that at all. The place is really clean and we always stay on a waterfront and we go there every year in June for 2 weeks. Its a great palce to stay and everyone is nice except the front desk where you check in. There is always though one person we can't wait to see. She is very kind to us and loves to see us there. We bought her a gift since she loves Longaberger baskets so we bought her one. This is the best worker they have. Just to bad the chechout or check in desk was kind. I also wish that the security guy would calm down.MR. Merryl, McDaniel.

We found this campground in april of '07 and immediately moved our RV onto a permanent site.Staff is friendly and campground is well maintained and clean.Atlantic ocean is 15 minutes away with free and easy parking.The Pony swim is the big event of the year.Want to get away from work?-this is the place.

The campground is great. It is in a perfect location and well takin care of. However, the registration department is stuck in the past. There means of reservations are a shoe box filled with note cards. There check in is a joke. Park your camper wherever you see a sight and then go in and tell them where you are. If you complain they really dont care, somebody will take your place. I dont wright this from my single experience, but from a family I went with and many others I spoke with. Oh yeah, leave your credit cards at home, you'll need cash or check. What decade are they in? I think I'll go to Maddox next time.

The campground has a nice clean country store, lots of bath/shower houses that are well cleaned several times a day, there is always plenty of hot water too! There are places to plug in your dryer and there is a new bath house/laundry mat..The club house has several pool tables, and games for the kids to hang out, they serve pizza, hot dogs, popcorn, there sage and italian sausages are great too, but the Nachos and Cheese and the soft pretzels are outta this world,,,there is a new lady working there and she is so nice and she keeps everything spotless, she is great with all the kids, and seems to know all there names and if your child is missing she can tell you who they were with, what time they left and what they were wearing, she was very helpful when I could not find my teenage son! OH she makes the best snowcones too!!! There is a lady in the office who takes your reservations and she is very helpful on helping you plan your visits and the best spot for your rig..She keeps everything clean and spotless in the country store.. The kids caught flounder and sand sharks off the pier, and some crabs too...we got to see the ponies across the cove and the lighthouse is a working lighthouse and it is beautiful both night and day... They have a very nice Sunday service at 9 on Sunday morning. Tom's Cove is close to the Ocean and the kids loved the beach, the pool is beautiful and well cared for there was a lifegaurd on duty too... There are great Icecream places, shoping, antique stores, and tiny little cars you can rent off the campground in town, there are some quaint little eateries and lots of yard sales on Saturdays..If you love the out doors, want to have fun, then Toms cove is the spot for you,,,a boat ramp, and nice fishing cove, and clamming too..the wild ponies and all the sites..you cannot absorb it all in one visit..so we are going back...ohhhh there is an adult lounge upstairs over the club house, where you can enjoy the breeze, your snow cone and a beautiful view of the lighthouse... ohhh also there are shells on the beach, that are great ..big AND SMALL..// \

I have never had a problem there. I love it I have been coming there for about 11 years now . I don't think I would enjoy it the week of the Pony run. But I love it when I'm there.
