The people running the campground were very friendly and recommended some good spots for us to pick given the available space.
Would recommend picking 15 and 11 in order to be close to the water and have some privacy. Overall great experience. Visited in late winter and on a Sunday night, so I can't speak to bugs or crowds for this spot.

Oyster Point and the hosts never disappoint! Always a relaxing, welcoming time!! Perfect get away to restore and play in the woods. Highly recommend this gem in Carteret County.

Campground is nice, close to the river, if not really walking or driving to anywhere else; a nice place to go be decently remote while still car-camping. Pit/chemical toilets but clean enough. I didn't see running water, I'd bring my own anyway. Campsites are large, kept up, camp host was nice. I went in February, I bet later in the year this is probably very buggy. Overall, exactly what I expected.

Its a great find. Beautiful river view and a great trail to boot ! The host was very nice and friendly. However, the forest road 181 was the worst road i have ever traveled on. Hugh pot holes and soft shoulders is extremely hard on a vehicle. In my stay, my wife got stuck, had to call a tow truck to get her out. There were two more vehicles that got stuck in the mud. Get the road fixed and you would have a pearl at Oyster Point.

Campground and my site was clean and host was helpful. I went there to kayak and fish and had a great trip. It is somewhat primitive but has potable water spigots- bring some buckets and pit toilets. I planned accordingly and all went well. Enjoy.

- 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.
