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.

Flanner’s Beach is one of our favorite campgrounds. Walking the paved trails is so pleasant and peaceful. We enjoy visiting New Bern, especially BrÜtopia, Surf Wind and Fire, and the new Firefly Cafe. The Saturday Farmer’s Market is absolutely amazing! Beaufort is also a short drive.

The camp host was very friendly and helpful. Some lots are much bigger then others. There are lots of tree coverage, so not really suitable for campers with solar. The facilities could be better, painted and cleaned more often.

Stayed at Site # 7 for 4 nights. We had NO complaints or issues with the campground or area. Glad to see that it's still possible to get down to the river, always enjoy walking the trails. Havelock, the free ferry across the river, and New Bern are all very close and worthwhile trips.

We've stayed at this campground several times and look forward to our next time there.

I visit this campground each year in September as my home base as a Volunteer for the MS 150 Bike Fundraiser. I love the campground its locality to New Bern and you can't beat the price. Very quiet here too. My only complaint is the fire pits. As a veteran camper part of my enjoyment is our campfire. The replacement pits that were put in after Hurricane Floyd are an abomination. They are literally 3.5 ft of solid steel. You have to be 1.5 ft from the pit to actually see your fire. Not to mention that they are not cleaned out of a regular basis so there is 2 ft of soot and ash, other peoples burnt food and scraps piling up. The good news of this is if they don't clean them, you actually get to watch your fire. its just 3.5 off the ground. What is the point?
