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.

A nice little campground with a mix of open and shaded sites. Most RV sites will accommodate big rigs to 40 ft. A few walking trails and visitors center nearby. New Bern (12 mi north) and Havelock (10 mi south) offer grocery stores, restaurants, shopping and supplies. Sites are gravel, fairly level and fairly private. Only 30/50 electric at sites but a couple of community spigots with drinking water available. Cell coverage can be a little spotty but I've generally gotten a reliable and sufficiently strong enough signal to work remote, including video calls.

Our first visit to Flanners Beach CG. We will be back. We spent a week here, and the campground was pretty quiet the whole time. The campsites are private. Plenty of walking trails through some beautiful coastal forest land, which is what we like. Just a few miles north of the campground is where you will find B&J Seafood, which we highly recommend.

No working showers. Sign on the door by the campsite manager saying they were trying to get them working.

No warning on the Recreation.gov site that there would be no water and no working toilets or showers anywhere on the site. The campsite host was friendly but said she had no control over the the situation. The Croatan National Forest park office was closed and not answering phones. The campsite manager took our name and said she would try to get a refund processed. We left and stayed in a hotel.

The campground watermain broke three weeks prior to my reservation. All the bathrooms were closed. No porta potties onsite. No one posted the issue on the recreation.gov website. No one knows when the watermain is going to get fixed. The biologist and the Engineer employed for the Croaton NF were let go. So lack of personnel. Otherwise, the beach was beautiful….

Very nice campground with beautiful view of the water. Sites are generous size and many are shaded. Bathhouse is a bit dated but adequate.
