Flanners Beach Campground

Didn't appreciate having to get in and out of my rv to swing open an unlocked front gate everytime we came and went.

Hosts very helpful, found a site that allowed us the 3rd night we really wanted. Disappointed there was no beach/river access due to Hurricane Florence damage, but still some nice trails to walk! Peaceful location, easy to get to, nice bathhouse.

We really enjoyed our recent trip to Flanners Beach Campground! The campground itself was very clean and quiet and our hosts were very friendly and attentive. The sites were nicely spaced, providing shade and privacy between guests. Flanners Beach Campground does not have individual site water hookup, but we weren’t inconvienced at all. We filled our fresh water tank at the filling site near the entrance and were fine all week. Water spigots are conveniently located throughout the campground, just incase! The only negative to staying at Flanners Beach Campground is the lack of beach access. There is a nice day use area as well as a public beach area but it sustained heavy Hurricane Florence damage, and has been closed to visitors since. I hope they repair the damage soon and reopen the beach and day use areas. Our stay would have been perfect with access to swimming. The New Bern area is steeped in history and we enjoyed visiting many of those sites. We walked the streets of historic downtown New Bern, visited Tryon Palace, traced the soldiers’ steps at the New Bern Battlefield all in the same day and conveniently located to Flanners Beach Campground. We really enjoyed exploring the Outer Banks via 4 wheel drive at Cape Lookout Seashore. This day trip is truly the best way to experience the Outer Banks! Overall, we really enjoyed our Flanners Beach Campground experience and brought home many amazing memories!!

AWESOME!

It was the way I like it , very quite with only the sound of the wind in the tree's.

Pros: Thoroughly enjoyed our visit! Small campground feel with many deep set, wooded campsites. Paved walking trail around the perimeter of the campground and other dirt surfaced multi-use trails within walking distance. Beach area overlooks part of the Neuse River. Short car ride to multiple cities. Campground hosts, Bobby & Janice, were phenomenal, helpful, attentive!!!

Cons: Campground had just reopened after H. Dorian...a lot of beach clean-up remains and some closed trails d/t erosion. The bathhouse could definitely use an overhaul & update.

The site was great and not far from New Bern. The beach portion was under construction when we were there so we couldn't get as close to the water as we hoped. We were lucky to see a beautiful full moon rise when we were there.

Need to expedite hurricane damage repairs.

We had the place to ourselves most of the week...even the hosts had left. We were so very sad to see the damage that the hurricane caused. We weren’t allowed near what used to be the beach but judging from the rest of the coastline I’m sure it’s horrific. Was a beautiful campground and a wonderful stay! Hopefully the beach can be restored though I’m sure it will cost millions that the state doesn’t have. Would love to come back!

Nice park
Clean restrooms
Beach closed do to hurricane damage
