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.

We were really disappointed to learn that we could not pitch our tents on the grass. How would we possibly kill the grass in the two nights we were there? There was no usable shade in our campsite, despite the online description as “shady.” Neither camp host was available all day when we arrived; we hoped to move to another campsite, but when the host finally called us (we found a ranger), she said we could not trade campsites—we’d have to pay for another campsite, and would not be reimbursed for the first night or possibly the second since by the time they called us back it was less than 24 hours before the second day began.

I understand that this is an RV campground, but some sites are definitely better for tent camping. Pitching a tent on blacktop (our only option, since the using the gravel area around the table and fire pit would have been dangerous due to the proximity of fire and heat) was less than ideal (how can you put tent stakes in gravel?) we feel that this campground could certainly accommodate tent campers much better, especially those of us short time campers! There are just not many people using tents anymore, despite being easier on the environment! We already had to pay for two nights of an electrical hook up that we couldn’t use.

The campground itself is beautiful; bathrooms and showers clean and in good working order. It’s just a shame that tent camping is just not welcome there.

Love this campground, like the space between sites, clean and very well maintained, like the trees also. have sites of different degree of shades from trees. If not the best maintained campground, definitely way above average. The two hosts were friendly and helpful when assistances were needed. One thing is that it would be perfect to have just cold water in the summer, not just warm water all year long.
Seems the first toilet stall need to have a multiple toilet paper rack, many times I have found only a small roll was left, as the existing rack can hold two rolls the most. No problem with the 2nd one.

Be advised that you're not supposed to pull up to a water spigot along the road, to fill your RV. You're supposed to go to the one by the dump station. This is so you don't block the road while getting water. Understandable, but... A sign at the entrance would be VERY useful. The host chasing you off, to go somewhere else for water, when you've been on the road all day, doesn't make for a great start to your stay.

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.
