We have been here multiple times - this was not our first time. But the burn ban was pretty dissapointing to learn about - but iit was too late to cancel reservations. Secondly, the shower house water needs to be fixed -it was scalding hot and then turned cold in about 5 minutes. Plus the water flooded almost out of the shower room. Lastly they need to repair a path to the beach access.

Nice Campground and the Camp Host at the time I visited was the best Host ever! The only downside is some sites are tight and even if deep enough for a Motorhome my site 13 was so tight I could barely put my slides out. Unfortuantely they anchored the picnic table right in the prime parking area.A worthy note is Flaners Beach Camground has a beach there is no ACCESS to. That's not an issue for me but if you head there for the Beach, good luck.The town of New Bern was Lovely and we're going back. But I won't get 13 again! The showers could use a coat of paint and some updating, but brign your own water, the well water is highly untasty.It was worth every penny however, these Federal Campgrounds are a bargain and with a PASS, it's also a super bargain!

Very nice campground with beautiful view of the water. Sites are generous size and many are shaded. Bathhouse is a bit dated but adequate.
@BarbaraB381397 · Camped on Feb 28, 2025 at Campsite #32
The campground watermain broke three weeks prior to my reservation. All the bathrooms were closed. No porta potties onsite. No one posted the issue on the recreation.gov website. No one knows when the watermain is going to get fixed. The biologist and the Engineer employed for the Croaton NF were let go. So lack of personnel. Otherwise, the beach was beautiful.
@BradC8878086 · Camped on Feb 28, 2025 at Campsite #5
No water. It kind of ruined the whole trip.
@RickD3627013 · Camped on Feb 9, 2025 at Campsite #16
No working showers. Sign on the door by the campsite manager saying they were trying to get them working.

@LieuenJE589651 · Camped on Jan 17, 2025 at Campsite #4
Very quiet in off season. Some leveling required at our site.
@JohnA1386005 · Camped on Dec 27, 2024 at Campsite #9
Our first visit to Flanners Beach CG. We will be back. We spent a week here, and the campground was pretty quiet the whole time. The campsites are private. Plenty of walking trails through some beautiful coastal forest land, which is what we like. Just a few miles north of the campground is where you will find B&J Seafood, which we highly recommend.
@QuintonCBEFF10 · Camped on Dec 24, 2024 at Campsite #3
Great place to camp!
@BillC8113752 · Camped on Dec 23, 2024 at Campsite #9
Great except for the shower which needs hotter water and lack of drinkable water at campsite.
@RAYMONDB773879 · Camped on Dec 18, 2024 at Campsite #2
A nice little campground with a mix of open and shaded sites. Most RV sites will accommodate big rigs to 40ft. A few walking trails and visitors center nearby. New Bern (12miles north) and Havelock (10miles south) offer grocery stores, restaurants, shopping and supplies. Sites are gravel, fairly level and fairly private. Only 30/50 electric at sites but a couple of community spigots with drinking water available. Cell coverage can be a little spotty but I've generally gotten a reliable and sufficiently strong enough signal to work remote, including video calls.
@LeeL2710813 · Camped on Nov 27, 2024 at Campsite #5
We have stayed at Flanners Beach several times, because it is close to all our grand kids. Never had any issues booking a site. Love the area.
@JohnH2789214 · Camped on Nov 22, 2024 at Campsite #7
This was our 4th visit to Flanner's Beach Campground. It is a wonderful old campground. The camp hosts maintain it very well, are helpful and unobtrusive. The facilities are a bit dated but clean and serviceable. We'll be coming back again.
@AngelD6DF67620 · Camped on Nov 22, 2024 at Campsite #3
We love Flanners beach campground. We have stayed here many times. The sites are nice, the bathhouses is clean, the walking trail closest to the campground is paved and the campground is quiet. The only negative is you cannot get to the beach anymore. It has been closed since Hurricane Florence. This needs to be corrected.
@JeffreyD84C840 · Camped on Nov 13, 2024 at Campsite #4
Campsite was pretty clean, some micro trash but not bad. Been here twice this year, love it!
@DonaldH6846342 · Camped on Nov 12, 2024 at Campsite #6
This campground is kept very clean. The restrooms and showers are old but well-maintained. The campsites do not have water or sewer provisions. There is an area where fresh water can be obtained. There is also a dump site at the camp area entrance.
@JohnL4419148 · Camped on Nov 10, 2024 at Campsite #15
The host was very helpful. However we did manage to have some very disrespectful types camping across the road from us and it is crazy that damage caused in hurricane Florence in 2018 is not yet repaired so you can not access the beach.
@RAYMONDB773879 · Camped on Nov 8, 2024 at Campsite #35
A great campground. Most electric sites have good spacing and privacy. Clean showers. Major shopping and restaurants only 12 miles away. Friendly hosts. This was my second time here and I've already reserved another two weeks a month away. Only issue is somewhat weak Verizon signal but good enough. My ATT was a little stronger and generally fully acceptable.
@DougG5309217 · Camped on Nov 4, 2024 at Campsite #4
What a beautiful little campground. Quiet and right near the Neuse River. We took a nice walk down to the river and enjoyed the solitude. The restrooms and showers were clean and stocked. Really wonderful experience.
@KathyB2100069 · Camped on Nov 4, 2024 at Campsite #16
The location was a nice home base for exploring other areas like Atlantic beach, New Bern, etc. we were disappointed that the beach area and trails leading to the beach were closed due to storm damage.
@AmyH6621534 · Camped on Oct 28, 2024 at Campsite #3
It is sad that no one comes and greets you anymore. Host is never seen out and about. Thankfully the bathrooms where a littleCleaner this time than in April 2024. Campground needs a little TLC.
@JohnL4419148 · Camped on Oct 3, 2024 at Campsite #8
Sites were clean and spaced out with lots of shade. Bathrooms were clean but showers are showing their age. There was hot water just need new paint. Beach is closed from hurricane. Path around campground is great for easy access for morning walks.
@CliftonP534884 · Camped on Sep 20, 2024 at Campsite #10
Flanners Beach Campground is a favorite destination of mine! The hosts, Clare and Kaitlin are very friendly and welcoming. Unlike the Cedar Point Campground hosts , they are kind and know their job. Cedar Point Campground has a host who has pulled a knife on me and threatened me with death. So, I prefer this federal campground over Cedar Point, which is the only campground I have ever been threatened by hosts. Flanners Bch. Is a great place!!
@PhillipR826106 · Camped on Sep 13, 2024 at Campsite #9
Nicely spaced sites with pretty good privacy. Convenient location.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@Wondering - Oregon
Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
