With 15,000 wooded acres, Pocomoke River State Park’s claim to fame is its stand of loblolly pine and cypress swamps bordering a wild and scenic river. It’s divided into two parts, Shad Landing (south side) and Milburn Landing (north side), which are about a 25 minute drive apart. The combination of ecosystems means the park is home to a plethora of plant and animal life including white dogwood and pink laurel trees, river otters, bald eagles and over 50 species of fish.There is no shortage of traditional camping activities, but the park also boasts an Olympic-sized swimming pool in case you decide “I can’t take this no more," and make like Squints from the Sandlot. The park's name may mean black water, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take your baby down to Pocomoke where you can get there fast and then take it slow.

Do yourself a favor and book this site! We loved every moment of our stay on Rod’s ‘oasis’. The views were stunning, the atmosphere was incredibly peaceful, and we even got to leave with some fresh blue crabs from the local watermen - such a cool experience. Rod was wonderfully welcoming and knowledgeable about the area, and we learned some fascinating facts about the local culture. Thank you, Rod, for an amazing stay!

Roderick was super kind. He let me move to the spot with the best morning sunrise view, made sure I knew where the fire pit was and left the light on in the outside portal potty. He stood around for a moment to answer all my questions about his site, made me feel very comfortable. What a wonderful place to wake up, the sunrise was absolutely stunning.

The thing to take away from this is, we have started making this a regular destination. That really should be very telling. Everything about Oyster House is fantastic. Rod is an amazing host and genuinely cares. I love being able to step outside the camper and be able to wet a line, drop a crab trap, watch wildlife, enjoy amazing sunsets and unreal night skies, take a stroll, float a kayak, or a million other things. We are in love with everything about this destination.

I chose Oysterhouse landing for a family picnic. Half the family lives in Virginia Beach and the rest in Richmond. Oysterhouse is in the middle. When I talked to Rod he suggested I move slightly off my site and take advantage of a large tree with a lot of shade. That kept me from setting up a couple of large awnings. The light wind kept the bugs away and the shade made the picnic comfortable. We did not spend the night, but the trip was memorable. It was also less expensive and quieter than a restaurant in Williamsburg.
