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.

We loved the campground. We plan to come back in the near future. The Host and Co Host were very friendly and give us lots of information about the camping area. Looking forward to our next visit.

We stayed in the campground, and as others have mentioned, the Camp Hosts can really ruin a camping trip. We booked our site online, arrived on a Saturday, paid for 14 nights. On Tuesday of the 2nd week, an angry man came over and was yelling for me to come out of the RV, apparently one of the hosts. He insisted I'd stayed beyond my 14 days and I leave immediately. He had the other host 'Jacqueline' on his phone(who checked us in 10 days prior), who also insisted we'd stayed beyond our 14 days. He put his finger in my face, saying he was calling the Cops, then stormed off. I called the District Rangers Office, and they had someone come by. I printed out my reservation receipt showing our check-in date, and he said 'Yep, you're good', and left. Later I get a text from 'Jacqueline' saying Thursday would be 14 days, and I should leave by then. She could not comprehend that 14 days from a Saturday, will always fall on another Saturday. I just no, I'm leaving Saturday. And I called the Rangers office back. An hour later I get a text from 'Jacqueline' saying they would not bother us again till our Saturday departure. This was crazy, the sheer inappropriate anger, the inability to use a calendar, demeanor in general.

Sites are maintained. Bathrooms clean and stocked. Hike/bike trail is very nice. Beach is still closed after 3 years. No trespass signs are posted everywhere and should be used on national forest land. Part of the appeal for Flanners beach is the "beach". Gate to the campground is kept closed so you have to get out of your vehicle to open every time you come and go. Maybe to decrease traffic? Nice otherwise.

Second trip there. I assume gate was kept shut due to covid, but was bothersome as I was visiting family nearby and had to go in and out often.
