Best view at site 9, with a trail to the water where you can set up a hammock, make sure you bring some bug spray, wonderful host, very clean and quiet sites, close to Morehead and Beaufort, great town for biking, absolutely a gem.

Awesome place. It’s right on an ocean inlet so you have a constant breeze coming in. It was mostly shady all over the campground. Tonia and Will the camp hosts were super easy to get along with. You couldn’t have asked for nicer people. Tonia and my 5 year old son developed a unique bond while we were there that just warmed my heart. We were on a trip for his 5 birthday on the 4th of July.
Watching the tide come in and out at the kayak launch was pretty neat to see being from the mountains. My boys played with the fiddler crabs catching and letting them go. The campsites were very clean and maintained. They all have circular fire pits with grills, a good long picnic table and places to hang lanterns. Our site had a nice lil tent pad outlined with wood but we had brought a camper. The bugs weren’t too bad. Certain times of day these lil biting flies would be around. Bug spray helped. Tonia told us the more you swat the more aggressive they’ll get. It was a hard discipline to learn lol. It wasn’t all that bad really don’t let the inlet bugs deter you.
The south bound trailhead of the mountains-to-sea trail extends through the campground to the coast. It was kind of neat because it runs through our home town in western nc. My oldest son and I did a little bit of hiking on the trails. They were also well maintained.
The campground was 30 minutes from the beach stuff but only about 10 minutes from a bp gas station. The cell phone service was just fine and no different than being at home. They had bathrooms on each end of the grounds and a water spigot about every 3rd campsite. Bear proof trash cans also. Gates stay open from 6am to 10pm. I guess you could park outside the gate and walk in if you came in late.
All in all we had a great time and will definitely be going back to Oyster Point. I told Tonia they should rename the campground after their last name followed by island. When you meet them you will get a laugh at that.

We had a great time. The host was very pleasant and informative. Our picnic table was broken but we brought our own so it didn’t affect us. Bathrooms were the cleanest I have ever seen at a campsite. We will definitely be going again.

We love camping at Oyster point. It’s quiet and peaceful. Only problem is the bugs. The no see ‘ems and may flies are not friendly. LOL. Bug spray is a must
