3149 Campground Road, Hayes, VA

Neighborhood Overview: Hayes sits on Virginia's Middle Peninsula — a quiet, unspoiled stretch of coastline between the Chesapeake Bay and the York River. This isn't the crowded tourist side of Virginia Beach or the traffic of Hampton Roads. It's the side of Virginia where blue herons fish in the marsh at sunrise and you can hear the water from your site at night. Gloucester Court House is your everyday hub, just 10 minutes up Route 17 — grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, a post office, and a Walmart. If you want more options, Williamsburg is 35 minutes south with every chain and restaurant you could need, plus Colonial Williamsburg, Busch Gardens, and the Williamsburg Premium Outlets for days off. Yorktown's waterfront and riverwalk are 25 minutes away — perfect for a weekend afternoon. The area is safe, affordable, and genuinely friendly. Most of our long-term residents are traveling professionals, retirees, and families who chose the Middle Peninsula specifically because it feels like a small coastal town without the price tag. Your commute to Riverside Walter Reed is a straight 15-minute drive up Route 17 with no traffic. Shifts at Sentara Williamsburg or the Newport News hospitals are an easy 35–40 minute reverse-commute against the flow. The Experience at Camp Cardinal: Camp Cardinal is more than an RV site — it's a waterfront community where you actually want to come home after a long shift. Pull into your own full-hookup site surrounded by mature trees, plug in, and you're settled. No apartment hunting, no furniture shopping, no 12-month lease hanging over your head. In the morning, walk the waterfront path with your coffee and watch the sun come up over the Chesapeake Bay. After work, unwind at the pool, hit the fitness center, or just sit outside your RV and enjoy the quiet. The general store has essentials so you don't have to run out for the basics. Laundry is on-site so weekends stay free. The community is welcoming but respects your space. You'll wave to your neighbors but nobody's knocking on your door at 7 AM. Many of our residents are fellow travelers — nurses, remote workers, military families — so people understand the rhythm of shift work and the need for a peaceful home base. When your assignment ends, you simply unhook and go. No lease penalties, no move-out inspections, no furniture to sell. Month-to-month flexibility built for the way you actually live and work.
