Cape Henry Lighthouse

On Father’s Day weekend, Dad would probably like nothing better than to camp at Virginia Beach KOA with the family.

Authorized by George Washington, it is one of the oldest lighthouses in the country, guiding ships to a safe harbor for over two centuries. Climb to the top of the tower for fabulous views of the bay and Atlantic Ocean. You can show your appreciation for Dad by treating him out to a nice dinner in town. One of our picks for a special meal is a restaurant called “One Fish Two Fish.” Known for being “upscale without the uppity,” it is located on the beautiful Lynnhaven River and features steak, seafood and more. We invite you to give Dad a relaxing memorable weekend at our park. Visit our website and book your spot today.
