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?

The park is always in always pretty nice to me. Still waiting on the beach area repair; however, you can access the water to fish and perhaps wade (I didn't do either). There is a lot of highway construction in the area so a lot of attention to traffic is required. Walked the trails which are asphalt and shaded. Usually try to make it to Flanners at least once a year and will continue.

We love this campground, for us it’s local and a great place to get away for the weekend without being too far.
The hosts were wonderful, we had trouble that necessitated us leaving the unexpectedly the first night. Fortunately we were able to come back and finish our stay. I had told them they could let someone else use the site, but they saved it as a last resort and so we were able to go back to our planned site.
They were helpful and friendly, just what you want in camp hosts!

We loved the location and the towns around us. We went down to the Neseu River and it inspired us to purchase Kayaks to use. we did get to use them once.

We went to Cherry Point Church. It was great. It was hard to choose a church since there are so many in the area.
We went to Ft Macon as a drive by but did not get to come back. We are definately putting that on a list to do.
