    Good timing on this thread popping up. I’ll be heading down there in May for my first time. What’s up with all the nice hotels not having onsite parking? Almost all the hotels we looked at either require you to park in a public garage or use their valet; who I assume parks it in the same garage.

    I'm not aware of any such restriction in VA.

    Here's the details-

    E. Camping is not permitted at any time.

    F. Sleeping in any section of the rest area building is not permitted at any time.

    G. No vehicle shall be parked in such manner as to occupy more than one marked parking space.

    H. No domestic animals shall be permitted to go at large. Dogs must be kept on leash and shall not be taken into any shelter or other building; guide, hearing, or service dogs as defined by the Code of Virginia are an exception to this rule.

    I. No person shall pick any flowers, foliage, or fruit, or cut, break, dig up, or in any way mutilate or injure any tree, shrub, plant, grass, turf, railing, seat, fence, structure, or anything within this area; or cut, carve, paint, mark or paste on any tree, stone, fence, wall, building, monument or other object therein, any bill, advertisement, or inscription whatsoever.

    J. No person shall disturb or injure any bird, birds' nests or eggs, or any squirrel or other animal within this area.

    M. No person shall offer any article or thing for sale within this area except by permission of the Commonwealth Transportation Board.

    N. No person shall bathe or fish in any waters within this area, except in such places and subject to such regulations as the commissioner may, from time to time, specially designate by a public notice set up for that purpose within the same.

    O. No person shall light, kindle or use any fire within this area, except at fireplaces designed and built for such purposes and the person or persons building a fire therein will be responsible for having it completely extinguished before leaving it.

    P. No person shall discharge or set off within this area, any firearms, firecrackers, torpedoes, rockets, or other fireworks, except by permit from the commissioner.

    Q. No bottles, broken glass, ashes, waste paper, or other rubbish shall be left within this area, except at such places as may be provided for the same.

    R. No automobile or other vehicle shall be taken into or driven upon this area, except upon such drives and subject to such regulations as the commissioner may, from time to time, designate by a public notice set up for that purpose within the same.

    Read through the info in post#2 at the link. I think I read something that said you could carry in the rest areas but not in the buildings. So need to read carefully for your particular needs.

    Money, it is all about digging deeper into your pocket and pulling out as many dollars as possible during your stay.

    When our daughter was in law school in St. Louis we would stay at one of the downtown hotels and we always used the parking valet.

    We go to VB multiple times a year (stay along the beachfront) to visit the grandkids but, even though I CAN carry lawfully, I tend not to because our grandson is impulse-driven autistic. But I will always have it close to hand, especially at night.
