About Cedar Point Campground

Cedar Point Campground and Recreation Area is located in eastern North Carolina at the junction of the White Oak River and the Bogue Sound, immediately adjacent to the Swansboro Inlet. It is within 1 mi of full service shopping, and within 2 mi of NC's Crystal Coast and the barrier island beach community of Bogue Banks. The campground is extremely busy and reservations are recommended but must be made 3 days in advance. Of the 36 campsites, 4 are considered first-come, first served campsites that cannot be reserved or held, so a person must physically be there with their camping equipment to purchase the campsite. Cedar Point campground has the option to use Scan & Pay system, but by the rules of recreation.gov it may only be used for first-come, first served sites. Please make sure to contact a campground host to ensure availability before paying for any campsite. Failure to check with the campground host for availability may result in the loss of your camping fee.

Sites are large. Campground well laid out. That is the "good". It is just a shame that such a nice place is so poorly managed. The bath house was filthy and there were no supplies restocked or cleaning done during our stay. Same feminine product in floor of ladies room the entire time! The grass in the campground had not been cut in a good while and it has been a VERY long time since weed eating had been done. The grass under our bolted down picnic table came up to the seat of the table. Totally unusable. There was a sign at the entrance that had been knocked down at some point and never picked up. They simply added a temporary one to replace it. There is supposed to be a 14 day limit on stays but we talked to several people whose units looked like they had been there longer. They said that all you have to do is ask the camp host to put a fake name and enter the fake name on your online registration and they will gladly facilitate this for you by continuing to change names and dates in this manner. One reason we like to stay in state and national parks is because people can't live there. The camp hosts left the park every morning with bikes loaded and did not return until evening. The fire pit was full of old ashes and assorted garbage and appeared to have been that way a while. Our neighbors in the site next to us told us that they asked the camp host about having theirs cleaned out and were told that hosts don't do that and that the camper must do it themselves if they wanted it cleaned. The camp hosts dog was always off leash as we're other dogs allowed to be. We may return at another time and hope for different camp hosts with a better work ethic. It did appear that these particular hosts were packing up to leave so maybe things will improve with new hosts.

Campsite is very nice, good amount of shade and space. Close to sound, beach, restaurants and stores. Only issue was bathhouse. Older and very hot. Also not kept clean, not sure what the host does as never saw them. Recommend you come ready to use your camper washing facilities.

Campground was a little confusing to find our site. Once we got there, though, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The showers were a little odd as you had to keep pushing the button to keep them going. The campground was beautiful, quiet and in a fabulous location. We kayaked on the trail, hiked and drove over to Emerald Isle for the afternoon. A great experience.

I loved the sites and the fact the campground is located next to alot of activities. The campsites had good distance in between and a good amount of trees that offered nice shade. There is no water hookups or septic at the individual sites but there is a dump station near the entrance as well as a place to fill up potable water into your rv tanks.

Bathrooms weren’t continuously staying stocked with toilet paper. Host was hard to get in touch with throughout the time there.

I love this campground. The campsites are spacious and shady while being close enough to provide a sense of security and community. The campsites, restrooms, and showers were all clean and well-maintained. I look forward to returning here again next summer.

Good location for the Emerald Isle. Very spacious sites. Clean toilets and showers. Easy check in. Great Tidelands trail close to the campground for watching wildlife.
