Oyster Point Campground was exactly what we were looking for … quiet secluded campground with spacious private sites. Enjoyed watching the sun coming up over the inlet and envious of those with canoes setting out for a little morning adventure.

My friend (Also female) and I arrived late due to work and traffic. We set up quickly and headed to bed. Not more than 5 minutes after laying down we heard footsteps. Then I saw the flash of a camera. The footsteps got closer and there was a horrendous smell. We could hear someone breathing outside the tent. The footsteps continued around the premises. Then we saw more camera flashes that seemed as thought the person was trying to take photos in sync with the heat lightening, but there was an obvious difference in flashes. We called Carteret County sheriff’s and requested that they send someone out. As we were on the phone, the person continued to take pictures. A friend who was in the next county over kept in contact with us while we waited. The deputy arrived about 20 minutes later. Upon his arrival he looked around the campsite and noticed ab bag at the outset of the bushes. He asked if it was ours and it wasn’t, nor had it been there when we arrived. The deputy retrieved the bag and it smelled the same way the smell we had smelled did. It was rancid shrimp. However, when it was near the bushes, we couldn’t smell it, that’s how close the person was to the tent, in addition to being able to hear him breathe. The sheriff waited for us to pack our things and we left immediately. We were not given any specific contact information for the campground and when we tried reaching out to recreation.gov we had to wait nearly 4 hours for a response and then were told we had to wait until the date of checkout passed. I send a refund request since we felt forced to leave and terrified of staying. That was 6 days ago and I’ve received no communication. I am beyond disappointed and angry. We were in danger and dismissed by the organization.

Wonderful, friendly camp hosts and beautiful, private sites. What more could you want? We stayed in site 5 and it was great for hammock and tent camping. I might also recommend site 9 as it has a direct path to the water. Enjoy!

Simple no frills location. The sites were nicely secluded and had tables and fire rings.

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.
