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.

The showers had only scalding hot water. Cold water line was not even hooked up. Lots of ticks but that is okay. Other than the showers it was an okay camping venture.

Some lighting issues in the common areas, and insufficient signage make for minor inconveniences. Like some people using bathroom sinks for dish washing while others wait to wash their hands. A good permanent sign could reduce this. But there is none. Otherwise this place is great! Hosts are friendly, guests usually are too.

The location of the campground and the privacy of the campsites are great. We were in site 21 which is a back-in site tucked into the woods. Our rig uses a 30 amp service, however the 30 amp electrical service has an open ground (error message on my surge protector), so it was not safe. The 50 amp service was okay and the camp host, who is great, lent us an adapter. When we spoke to the park maintenance manager, his reply was the electric was old and they didn’t have any budget, so have a nice day. Also, the showers only have a hot water feed, so the showers are scolding hot. These issues have been from a longterm lack of maintenance. They did post a sign warning you that the showers will scold you rather than fixing them by adding a cold water feed. I assume this sign is an attempt to limit their liability.

We enjoyed the stay and the trails. The restroom / showers need a little updating and cleaning. However, we used them the length that we stayed (7 days).

This was my second time to stay at this campsite. I traveled down to visit my son who is currently station at Atlantic Beach in the USCG. The campsite is a perfect time away from the busy life. Quiet, clean and excellent camping experience.

Beach has not been restored. Bathroom needs renovation. Also could use cleaning.

My only reason for 2 stars is that fact the beach is still closed, otherwise it would be 5 stars.
Upon checking in we did not have the right converter plug. We were at site 8, had a 30 amp trailer but the power was 50amp. Went to the host and they immediately came to the site and brought us the correct plug. They were so helpful ! Park was clean, bathrooms were clean
