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.

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.

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.

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.

@CharlesB538317 · Camped on Sep 2, 2024 at Campsite #2

Loved the site. It was right next to the camp host. The walking trails were nice and bathrooms and showers were clean. Enjoyed my stay. T-Mobile service was great. 5G at this spot

@LeannaC1FE3FE3 · Camped on Jul 10, 2024 at Campsite #7

Ive visited over 400 campgrounds in 47 states. This is my favorite NC campground, and in my Top 10 nationwide. Hosts, Kristen & Clare, keep the campground well-maintained, mowed, clean and quiet. The clean, modern, bath house has hot showers. This is a nature lovers paradise with miles of trails right off the back of most sites. And the evenings are quiet, filled only with the sounds of crickets and owls.

@JohnH2789214 · Camped on May 30, 2024 at Campsite #35

Still an awesome place to be.

@TerryT6108431 · Camped on May 21, 2024 at Campsite #6

Great loved it host was great too!

@RobertD9538610 · Camped on May 17, 2024 at Campsite #2

The campground is very nice. The beach well that was a bust. No access so no beach for Flanners Beach. The bath house was okay the bathrooms needed more butt wipes , the showers we okay. The sites were nice and secluded and level.

@PHILIPC8348722 · Camped on May 14, 2024 at Campsite #7

Host was nice and kept the park in good shape. Beautiful pathways are well maintained. Sites are spacious and separated. Water and dump station was convenient.Beach access still closed,

@DebraS6269368 · Camped on May 12, 2024 at Campsite #5

Location was great, the campsites private, but mine had trash all over it when I arrived. Camp host didn't bother to get the campsite ready for the next camper... but why would they? The camp host site was littered with junk, old equipment, trash. Really, it defeated the whole point of getting out in nature. A complete eyesore. The picnic bench on my site was unable to be moved at all. Usually it's on a tether and you can adjust it for your situation, but no the silly thing was impaled right in the middle of the campsite. Ruined the great campsite. What is up with that??

@AndrewS4701634 · Camped on May 10, 2024 at Campsite #6

Very quiet campground that was well shaded. Facilities were taken care of but needed a little care (light bulb needed in women's restroom. It would also be nice to have access to the beach.

@RhondaT2582626 · Camped on May 10, 2024 at Campsite #27

Decent camp ground

@DanielH5239181 · Camped on Apr 25, 2024 at Campsite #5

The camp site was beautiful and in a good location. Not far from Cherry Point and the Crystal Coast. Also close to New Bern.

@RichardT729403 · Camped on Apr 22, 2024 at Campsite #37

Very peaceful

@PaulH7895659 · Camped on Apr 22, 2024 at Campsite #13

This was my third stay in eight months. I will stay here again. The good: Abundant trees and flora provide much appreciated shade and reasonable privacy. On each of my last two trips I've seen additions and improvements, e.g., new water hydrants and added site gravel (much appreciated during heavy rain). I also was told that the Neuse River/Fanner's beach access is FINALLY going to be improved and REOPENED later this year! The bad: During my stay, of the three shower stalls: one had a clogged drain and was not usable and one practically had no water pressure. Full disclosure: I showered there only on my last night and I left the park at 0730 the following morning so I did not report this directly to the park hosts.

@ShawnM1338429 · Camped on Apr 14, 2024 at Campsite #2

Easy to access the site. Very wide driveway. Access to the narrow beach on the river is closed due to damage from a hurricane in 2018, but it appears to be for safety reasons. It looks like it's more than just clearing a path, rebuilding some stairs or something. Bath house was well maintained and kept very clean. While there's no water at the sites, the fill station was very easily accessible.

@DebraS6269368 · Camped on Apr 12, 2024 at Campsite #18

It was very relaxing and it was clean! Will be back, so close to home but so much fun!!

@JulieP3429152 · Camped on Apr 12, 2024 at Campsite #8

This little campground is wonderful but could be an absolute gem if the beach access was repaired and open for the public to safely enjoy. It has been almost 6 years since the damage from Hurricane Florence occurred. Why has the area not been repaired and opened? Surely there was disaster money available. Will it ever be restored?

@MargeAB2207DAF · Camped on Apr 5, 2024 at Campsite #13

This is one of my favorite campgrounds. The location is perfect, remote enough to get away from the world, close enough to grab Starbucks if you need it. Quiet campground with lots of trees and privacy. Bathhouse is adequate, but nothing special. Trash and water could be closer to camp sites, both require a little walk. Night time gate seems unnecessary.

@Christine33606 · Camped on Apr 3, 2024 at Campsite #21

Great campground. It is time to clean up the beach area for day use!

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
