Every family trip starts with the same question: “But what will we do when we get there?” At North Landing Beach RV Resort & Cottages, the answer is built right into your stay. Situated along the North Landing River just 20 minutes from the Virginia Beach Oceanfront, this riverfront RV resort has everything in a vacation, including a private sandy beach, a sparkling pool, and a full calendar of daily activities and themed event weeks. You can spend a weekend or a whole week here without ever leaving the resort.

If you’re comparing campgrounds and wondering which one actually delivers on the “resort” side of the RV resort, here’s what a stay at North Landing Beach really delivers.

We’re Famous for our Themed Weeks 

Throughout the summer, the resort transforms itself with special events, decorations, and games that give every stay its own vibe. The easiest way to plan a trip to North Landing Beach is to pick a themed week and build your dates around it. 

A few favorites from the event calendar:

• Independence Week: Think red, white, and blue everything, with patriotic games and celebrations across the resort.
• BBQing Week: A week dedicated to smoke, sauce, and good eating, with BBQ dinners and grilling fun.
• Slip and Slide Week: The front hill becomes a giant slip-and-slide, and the whole week revolves around getting soaked.
• Wizarding Week: A little magic comes to the campground with themed crafts, games, and activities for young witches and wizards.
• Christmas in July: Yes, Santa makes a summer appearance. Think Stories & Games with Santa, holiday crafts, and festive fun in flip-flops.
• ‘Did I Do That’ Week: A playful, nostalgic week full of goofy games and family laughs.
• Greek Week: Toga Corn Hole, Beach Chariot Races, and Greek dinner nights turn the resort into a friendly campground Olympics.
  
  

Each week layers special events on top of the regular activity schedule, so returning guests get a different experience every time they visit. Families who come back year after year often plan around the same week, and it becomes their tradition.

A Sample Day in the Life at North Landing Beach

Themed weeks are the headliners, but the daily rhythm is what makes this place feel like a true riverfront resort. Here’s what a typical day might look like.

Morning. Start with breakfast at the pavilion, then ease into the day with pool aerobics while the kids head to open arts and crafts at the Activities Building behind the pizza shop. No sign-ups, no stress, just show up.

Afternoon. This is when the resort really comes alive. Guitar Guy Peter plays on the beach from 12pm to 4pm, giving the whole waterfront a laid-back soundtrack. Kids chase down the Super Soaker wagon as it rolls through the resort, join a scavenger hunt, or take on the family in Putt Putt, pickleball, or lawn games. Want to get on the water? Rent a kayak, canoe, or paddleboard and explore the North Landing River, or just spend the afternoon swimming and building sandcastles on the private beach.

Evening. As the day winds down, the community gathers. Social hour rolls into pulled pork or Greek dinner nights, family bingo, and game nights at the pavilion. Monday nights mean s’mores and coffee. And on movie nights, families spread out blankets on the beach as the screen lights up at dusk. It’s the kind of evening kids remember long after the trip ends.

String all of that together across a few days and you’ve got a full vacation without a single itinerary spreadsheet.

Amenities That Keep Everyone Happy

Beyond the scheduled fun, North Landing Beach is stocked with amenities that make it easy for every member of the family (including the pets) to find their happy place:

• Private sandy beach on the North Landing River
• Swimming pool and spa
• Mini golf
• Sport courts and pickleball
• Playgrounds
• Rec center and billiard room
• Arts and crafts at the Activities Building
• Fitness center
• Dog parks
• Pizza and ice cream shop

The best part? Everything is walkable from your site or cottage. Once you park the RV or drop your bags, the car keys can stay in the drawer. That no-driving-needed setup is a game changer for families with young kids, first-time campers, and anyone who just wants a genuinely relaxing getaway.

Ways to Stay While You Play

North Landing Beach gives you two great ways to enjoy all of that fun.

Full-hookup RV sites come with 20/30/50 amp service, WiFi, and cable, so your home on wheels has everything it needs while you’re steps from the beach and pool.

Cozy cottages are perfect for families and friends who want the campground experience without the camper. Several are pet-friendly, so the whole family can come along.

Whether you’re booking a quick weekend escape or a longer seasonal stay, the rotating activity calendar keeps things fresh. With new themed weeks and daily events always on the horizon, even guests who stay for weeks at a time never feel like they’ve “done it all.”

Book a Stay Where the Itinerary Is Done-For-You

The best family vacations aren’t the ones with the most complicated plans. They’re the ones where the fun finds you. At North Landing Beach RV Resort & Cottages, you can plan your dates around a themed week that fits your family’s style, or simply show up knowing there will be something happening every single day.
