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 mile of full service shopping, and within 2 miles 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.

Number of accommodations: 31

We wanted to "head to the beach" and the Cedar Point Campground seemed like the right place to stay. I reserved site A-23 and it provided plenty of space between our 25' motorhome and the other RVs in the park. While the campground only provides electricity there are plenty of water spickets around if you need them. There is a dump station and a potable water station near the exit from the park. I'd give the bathhouse a 4-star rating. The bathrooms were large and clean but the shower rooms needed some cobweb removal, so not a big deal. The showers themselves were very nice. Good water pressure and spray. To use the showers, you had to push the "on" button to turn the water on and it would last for maybe 30 seconds, sort of like a Navy shower. But a quick push of the button turned the water back on.

As for location, we were about 15 minutes to Emerald Isle Beach and even in early November we had temps in the low 70s so we sat on the beach watching the waves and surfers. There is also a short (1.9 mile) walking trail along the shore at the end of the road just 1/10 of a mile past the campground. It's a nice walk with some really great views of the surrounding waterways.

One tip is to stop and buy your firewood in the local area because there is no firewood available at the campground.

As for restaurants, we had dinner at T&W Oyster Bar and Restaurant. It's a low key, friendly kind of place with good food and a great staff.

We will definitely go back in the spring before the summer beach crowds arrive.

Arrival & departure

  • Cedar Point may close due to hurricanes from July to September; check weather before arrival.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
