Flanners Beach Campground

Flanners Beach Campground is peaceful and quiet and is a balm for my soul. I feel the burdens of the world dropping from my shoulders when I turn off Hwy. 70 to go there.

Nice time .Did a lot of hiking.

Beautiful, well maintained, private, safe. Will be coming again

New Bern is a freak town to visit. Nice walking trail around the campground

This was a beautiful, well kept campground. I hope some day beach access will be restored but there were still some beautiful views from along the trail. The camp host was lovely and quick to respond when I arrived.

Nice until we met the hosts pointing sticks at us and yelling at us. Very odd and unacceptable. Claimed we were speeding when clearly we were not. You need new hosts . Very sloppy people. There seems like a lot of complaints about them confronting guests in an unprofessional manner. No toilet paper the entire time in the rest rooms.

This campground is so cozy and peaceful. My campsite, #9, like most of the sites, was so enclosed by trees that it was very private. It's located just across from the bathhouse, which was quite a convenience; the comings and goings of other campers was not at all disruptive; I really never noticed them.
The woodland trails are delightful, and it's nice to bike ride out to Hwy. 70. I would very much like to be able to go down to the beach, and so I look forward to the Forestry Service completing the Hurricane Florence cleanup so that the beach will be accessible. Even without being able to go down to the actual beach, the views across the Neuse River from the picnic area are magnificent.
My one suggestion would be to leave the gate open during the daylight hours, so that campers don't have to get in and out of their cars to open and close the gate each time they leave and re-enter the campground.

My husband and I stayed at Flanner’s Beach campground for a week. We came down from Asheville to help my brother who has dementia and has become homeless. I bought him a tent and all the things he would need to stay for two weeks. He is now in a shelter and being cared for by compassionate attendants in Jacksonville, NC. The hosts went above and beyond their acceptance of him, even when his Demetrius showed up in less-than-acceptable behaviors. I will absolutely camp there again. It’s s beautiful campground, on the banks of the Neuse River. We took our dog for walks and enjoyed meeting several other friendly campers. There’s ample vegetation between sites, and clean bathhouses with warm water. It’s a great place to go camping!

Our stay was very peaceful and the staff very accommodating.
