Camp Cardinal

Camp Cardinal is a 2-star camping escape in Hayes, Virginia, United States. The address is 3149 Campground Road, located about 2.1mi from the city center. With 32 reviews and a price starting from $163, this outdoor haven balances affordability with a playful vibe.

Amenities lean into family-friendly fun: a water park (free), beachfront access, and an outdoor pool with a kids’ pool (both free). Practical perks include private parking (free), Wifi (free), air conditioning (free), and non-smoking rooms, plus wheelchair accessibility. Live music (free), kitchenware, beach chairs/loungers, a playground, picnic areas, barbecues, and beach access round out the on-site scene.

Pet-friendly options are available for an extra charge, and on-site parking stays free—making it easy to pack up for a day of outdoor adventures, water slides, and sunset strolls along the shore.

Options include Cottage, Cabin, Signature Cottage, and Room Selected At Check In, each non-smoking and designed to accommodate two adults. These cozy stays invite travelers to drift into a laid-back, nature-filled vibe with simple comforts and a sense of outdoor adventure.

Pets are allowed on request, with charges possibly applying. Cash is the only accepted payment method, so it’s handy to arrive prepared.

A seasonal outdoor pool with a shallow end (and an adults-only area) adds a splash of fun, while free on-site parking keeps things easy. Beach access, beach chairs and loungers, a playground, picnic areas, barbecues, and easy shoreline strolls help shape long, sun-soaked days and relaxed evenings.

Pleasant surroundings. An outdoor outlet available for Level 1 charging of an electric vehicle.

The "cottage" I stayed in is really a mobile home, with mobile home quality. For the same cost as a regular hotel, you also have to bring all your own linen, pillows, bed coverings. etc., and that wasn't made clear by Booking.com or the Camp Cardinal. Fortunately a friend warned me.

The water smelled horrible!! Everyone noticed as soon as they walked in! Didn't drink it or shower in it...just was not able to manage the smell! I understand about water being in the tank but this never got better. The water pressure in the bathroom was very weak. We had a great time and would love to come back but only if there's not a water problem of that magnitude!

I liked the fact it was secluded and the different facilities and activities.

stayed in F-lodge and had no internet. Recommend getting a Wi-Fi extender.

The campground is very well maintained. Cottage is a great choice if it is cold outside. And the location... Just wow.

Electric grill would have been a saviour if it's raining outside.
