Opened in June 2023 with a half-mile bayfront promenade, Sun Outdoors Chincoteague Bay is a haven of outdoor fun complete with a pool, playground, pickleball courts and a private fishing pier (no fishing license needed). Choose a glamping tent, cottage or RV site to set up your home away from home.
Each of the 28 khaki-colored, wood-framed glamping tents has air conditioning and heating, a full bathroom, kitchenette (with mini-fridge, microwave and stovetop), twin bunk beds sleeping area, private bedroom with a queen bed, and covered porch with a picnic table.
Community firepits with Adirondack chairs are scattered around the tent area. All glamping tents are nonsmoking and inaccessible by car; however, golf cart rentals are available. There are no locks on the tents, and pets are not permitted.
The 24 waterfront and 16 waterview cottages, painted sailor blue, are pet-friendly. Each has a kitchen, full bathroom, set of twin bunk beds and separate queen-bed bedroom, plus a screened porch, patio and picnic table. Waterview cottages also have rooftop decks.
Sun Outdoors’ 149 pet-friendly RV sites are closest to the bathhouses, pool and camp store. Full hookup back-in RV sites offer 20-, 30- and 50-amp electric service. Site amenities include Wi-Fi, a picnic table and a fire ring.
Check the events schedule for live music on the pool deck and wine tasting nights. Off property, explore nearby Assateague Island National Seashore, Assateague Lighthouse and Maui Jack’s Waterpark (discounted tickets are available at Sun Outdoors’ welcome center).
Rent an open-air “Moke” road vehicle—they look like a cross between a jeep and a golf cart—to make cruising the attractions part of your fun; rentals are available on-site for $195 per day.
Nightly rates begin at $80 for an RV site, $300 for a cottage, and $200 for a glamping tent.
