About Oyster Point Campground

Oyster Point Campground is located on the banks of the Newport River, near the town of Newport, NC. The campground is just a short drive to the beaches of Atlantic Beach, NC and other coastal fishing destinations. The campground can get very busy and reservations are reccamended but must be made 3 days in advance. Of the 15 campsites, 1 are considered a first come-first served campsite that cannot be reserved or held, so a person must physically be there with their camping equipment to purchase the campsite. Oyster Point 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.

One of the true hidden gems of NC primitive campgrounds! Grounds are well taken care of, the sites are big and not to close to each other, and the host is very nice.

The camp is nice but it should be closed during "bug season". As soon as we arrived we were attacked by a swarm of flies, no amount of bugs spray helped. It was so intense that we had to leave 20 minutes later. We could stay longer.

The campgrounds were clean and the site was spacious for the RV. The gravel road to the campgrounds was in great condition. The Hostess was pleasant and informative. There were no bathhouses, not that we saw but there were pit toilets available and there is potable water (run the spigot a few minutes prior to collecting). Keep in mind is a non electric facility. One high issue to note - flies - they were ferocious during our stay (mid/end Aug), deep wood off was candy for them, we couldn't hike the Neusiok trail - that is easily accessed from this campground. Enjoy and have fun.

The campsite was clean. Beautiful view of the water. The host was very helpful and kind and friendly. Bathroom was well kept with supplies and clean. The road into the campground was a smooth ride in. Surprisingly we didn't need to spray much bug spray on ourselves. It was an amazing experience and will be returning again. Very affordable for the week worth of camping. I love it and definitely will tell our family and friends out here in Dobson NC and West Virginia and Pennsylvania and Massachusetts to reserve a camping spot here. I give it more than a 5 star rating, it's more like 10 plus stars rating. Thank you for letting us camp with you and we will see you again!

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
