About Flanners Beach Campground

Located in the Neuse River Recreation Area in eastern North Carolina, Flanners Beach Campground is situated on a bluff overlooking the scenic Neuse River and within a half-hour drive from the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway. The campground is extreemly busy and reservations are reccamended but must be made 3 days in advance. Of the 39 campsites, 7 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. Flanners Beach campground has the option to use Scan & Pay system, but by the rules of recreaiton.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.

Stay is consistently awesome. Hosts are golden. Sites and wash house are clean. The grounds are kept up while stile get a sense of the natural all around.
The look out spot is the real jewel.

This is a lovely, quiet campground, with spread-out campsites, etc. We enjoyed it a lot. Our only complaint is that leaving some of the electric sites for first-come, first-served is difficult as the recreational world increasingly depends on the ability to reserve space: we are all in a world of needing to plan ahead for space now.

The host here was extremely rude! Beyond being belligerent, he was walking through campsites looking for reasons to cause problems. The beach access shows no signs of being restored after years of being in this condition. The hiking and bike trails are often disrupted by fallen trees. It is sad to see a park with such potential, be mismanaged to the point of becoming a last resort location. It really is a beautiful place, ruined by the host, lack of maintenance and neglect!

This was our first time at this campground and loved it. 100% what we like in a campground, quiet with wooded sites.

Area is beautiful and we loved our campsite. The only negative was the host kept the gate closed all the time so if you went out you had to open the gate and when you got back same thing. We have been to many camp grounds and never experienced that.

We absolutely loved Flanners Camp! Jackie the host and her husband were great, full of information around the area! They kept everything cleaned and well maintained. A beautiful area to call home for 2 weeks, hiking, site seeing, the history at Macon Fort, Radio Island to go fish🤗 A drive to the Outer Banks! Oh and the beauty of the fighter Jets at the near by base flying overhead! We love our stay!

I love camping there. Just being able to make a bonfire and walk the trails is great!

Look at the Map before you book your reservation. This campsite is very close to MCAS Cherry Point - a military air station - that means loud military jets flying overhead. The noise stopped before 8PM, but overall it was not conducive to a relaxing camping experience. There is another campground 35 mi further away from the air station and just as close to the water.

The campground is wonderful and would be a full five star review if it were fully open. One of the main draws of the campground is the beach access to the river to fish and launch Kayaks. Once this is opened I would rate this as one of the best we have found.
