2018 Bark in the Park: Cape Charles, VA

Posted on July 24, 2017 by Cello's Corner | 4 Comments

This had been one our favorite dock diving events in the past. We loved attending this event in both 2015 and 2016 . We camped at Sunset Beach Resort (another favorite!)

Although were extremely excited to be back a third year in a row in July 2017, the weather this year was just unbearably hot. We tried jumping the dogs, but by the time Limoncello’s came up, the temperatures were a real-feel of over 103 degrees… too hot and dangerous to compete in our opinion.

Hooch

Big Air:

22’8″ 23’5″ 2nd Place Elite Division

Lager

Big Air:

16’2″ 17’3″

Even though the one jump that Lager and Hooch executed put them into the Finals, we scratched our jumps for the rest of the weekend, and forfeited our spot in the Finals. We chose to make the best of the remainder of the weekend, and enjoy the campground with the dogs.

Back to the campground to enjoy some Chesapeake Bay fun!

It sure wasn’t the weekend we thought it would be, and people thought we were crazy to give our spot in Finals…but our dogs’ safety and health come first. We made the best of the hot temps, and enjoyed cooling everyone off in the Chesapeake Bay. A bad storm eventually rolled in, but the outcome was a beautiful double rainbow, and a gorgeous sunset!

When we attended the 2nd Annual Bark in the Park dock diving event, we camped at Sunset Beach Resort.

We stayed on site 154

Another stay at the campground in July 2017 in our Class A:

We had never camped here before – but were pleasantly surprised at the roomy camp sites, beach bar and restaurant, and pool. This campground even has a hotel on the grounds, AND even has a dog beach!

Rita enjoyed her Glamping adventure here!

We camped at Cherrystone Family Camping Resort for Cello and Hooch’s dock diving event in Cape Charles, VA.

site # 636 on Clam Lane

You can see by the campground map, this place was pretty big! It was also right on the water, and although we weren’t able to secure a waterfront site, we had a water view from our campsite:

With just a short walk to the water’s edge, we had a wonderful time walking the pups!

This campground offers cabins, cottages, on site rental trailers, and campsites. Cherrystone also offers many great amenities:

Little Neck Cafe

General Store

Farm Stand

Bait and Tackle Shop

Laundry Facilities

RV Services

Rental Golf Carts

ATM Machine

Free Wi-Fi

We wish we had more time to explore this great campground. We hope to be able to take advantage of some of the great amenities mentioned above at our next stay!
