Learn more about this land: Camp directly on the Neuse River! The views are incredible. Relax on the porch swing, swim off the sandy beach. Mins to Oriental and Minnesott Ferry. When we first saw this property we fell in love with it and we hope you can enjoy this little piece of heaven too.  Originally we put in the additional site for friends and family to enjoy and then we found Hipcamp and thought, why not? What I love about the property is the water.  It's so relaxing listening to the waves and looking out across the river watching the boats, birds, or dolphins with fish jumping and crab fishermen re-setting their pots.  Cherry Point is not far away and we have been delighted by an impromptu fireworks show or a plane fly-by.   Oriental is a small town full of sailboats and the town has a lot going on.  They have a website called Towndock to see what's happening.   You can grab a coffee or ice cream at The Bean, stroll down the waterfront looking at the boats, and drop a line off the fishing pier.  There are some great local restaurants and even a Brewery that hosts food trucks and music on the weekends.  You will not be in the middle of nowhere as there is a grocery store, a marine store and a dollar general to pick up supplies. The Minnesott Ferry (free) is a 10-minute drive and you can get to Beaufort, NC or Atlantic Beach in about an hour. Welcome!   Cara Extra Info: The camping spot is a pull-in along a shared driveway with my neighbor and so you will be perpendicular to the river, but camping is all about being outdoors and there is the yard, picnic table,  and beach to share.  We haven't put a firepit in yet, but we plan to.  When leaving, you would need to back out, but there is a driveway across the street so there is plenty of room.  The reservation will be dependent on the rainfall so I don't have the instant book feature turned on.  Because parking is on the grass, if it's really wet, you could get stuck and nobody wants that. Camp directly on the Neuse River!

The host Cara is very accommodating and she provided good directions and instructions on how to access the site. It is a nice location near the beautiful village/ town of Oriental, NC. The site is along the Neuse river water front with beautiful sunrise views. However, the site is narrow and must be accessed by driving the RV forward onto the site (i.e., not back-in).

Beautiful setting! Nice level campsite right on the river, and a couple of miles to the cute town of Oriental NC. Perfect spot for a nice getaway. We hope to be back soon!

We absolutely loved the location! This was our dogs first time near water and boy did he love it! We spent hours in the water paddle boarding. Communication with the host was excellent and she was very responsive! Can’t wait to come back!

A place to breathe
It’s July and for most places too hot to enjoy the outdoors. I can’t believe how for two nights in a row my wife and I enjoyed an amazing view and the constant breeze off the river. My wife actually looked at me and said, “This is perfect. I can’t think of another place I could have sat outside for four hours and been so comfortable . If you are looking to sit outside and watch the sunset and enjoy the stars this is the place. We enjoyed walking around Oriental and eating lunch there. The view is better than the pictures. Cara was very responsive and helpful.
