What Guests Are Saying
Oyster Point Campground offers spacious and well-maintained sites, friendly hosts, and a peaceful atmosphere, making it a great choice for those seeking solitude. Visitors appreciated the proximity to local attractions and the beautiful water views, ideal for kayaking and fishing. However, some concerns were raised about bug issues, bathroom cleanliness, and reservation management, particularly during peak summer months.

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.

The campsites are nicely spaced and private.
The camp's entrance road is the worst I have ever been on in any park or forest, state or national. The terrible potholes in the road are inexcusable.
The host was very nice.
The reservation web page was extremely limited. No camp map and no photos of sites.
The page showed that the only site available for an RV was site 8/10, a double site. I reserved that site because no others were listed as an RV site. Then I could not use my Access pass because I was reserving a double site. I don't understand why the pass cannot be used for a double site.

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.
