Flanners Beach Campground

Very good overall: plenty of space within and between campsites, mostly level sites, hospitable host, good trails, good views of the river (even if beach access is closed), clean restroom. The only nit to pick is with the showers. Hot water, yes, but not a heated shower stall. Fortunately we had a near 60 degree day in late December on which to shower, but even then it was chilly stepping out of the hot water.

As others had said, the beach is no longer accessible. There are still lovely trails and nice views.
It's interesting to see all the trees that were blown down in the hurricane and the new growth that is coming up.
The campsites were very clean.
I only use the bathroom once and everything in it was wet like the entire room had just been hosed down. Even the toilet paper was wet. Maybe I just got there at the wrong time.

We enjoyed our two night stay. Bobby the camp host was very nice and helpful. It was very cold those nights but we were comfortable. The bath house was clean and warm. Everything went well.

Our site was level and most sites seemed to be level as well. Very nice, no need for blocks. The site aren't very far apart but the vegetation between site gives you the feeling of separation and privacy. Most of the sites are sandy with a little gravel here and there and that sand tracks everywhere. Some gravel on the sites would go a long way. We were there the first of December and the bath houses weren't heated. There was a heater in the men's bathroom, don't know about the women's, but the ends of the building were open so it served no purpose. The men's shower didn't have a heater so we showered in our RV, which wasn't the plan. But all in all it was a nice park and the camp host was very nice and helpful.

The trails need to be improved, got back into the woods and the trail just disappeared. We enjoy hiking. The camp ground is well maintained, clean and Bobby and Jancie are very nice. Will be back again.

First, Croatan National Forest is absolutely beautiful with so many vistas, views and places to see and visit. Bobby, the campground manager was incredibly awesome. He is a jewel for the park service. I met the super for the bathhouses - and he was also a very engaging young man who took a lot of pride in keeping the facilities clean and working, even during the Thanksgiving holiday.

Nice campground. We enjoyed our stay there. Campground host, Bobby was great and very helpfull.

Great place even without the beach.

Beautiful, secure campground, great for biking and hiking. Camp host very friendly. Stayed a week and looking forward to returning soon.

Overall campground was nice and quiet. Lots of trails for hiking. Wish they would put a set of stairs in place so you could once again have access to the beach area. Only negative is that the hand soap dispenser in bathroom ran out Friday afternoon and when we left Sunday it still had not been refilled.
