Weekend Trip to Crockett Landing

Paul’s land is a peaceful beautiful spot to get lost and unplug for a while. I stayed a night to avoid an early morning drive to a fishing trip in Beaufort. The site is very conveniently located near all of the best attractions and fun activities the area has to offer. On site you’ll find great amenities to keep yourself showered, and fed. Each campsite has its own unique personality to it. I will definitely return for a multi-night stay and bring my family along.

Weekend Trip to Crockett Landing

Our site was perfect! I was able to park my teardrop there and we had the whole place practically to ourself. Paul was super friendly and came to introduce himself when we arrived.

Weekend Trip to Crockett Landing

We had a wonderful time here! The layout of the campground is so unique. We loved how private the tree fort was. Paul greeted us when we arrived and told us all we needed to know. We enjoyed using the binoculars to look at the wildlife. We brought our telescope but didn’t even need it to see all the stars. We will DEFINITELY be back!

4 nights at Lucky’s Lookout

We enjoyed the place so close to several public beaches and access points. The site was wonderful. Everything worked perfectly. We cut the turn a little tight and went into the ditch on the way in, but that was our fault and we made it out ok. Kyle even let us stay an extra day when we misread out itinerary. We had a great vacation using this site as our home base.

2 nights at Escape near Cape Lookout

What an awesome place! We enjoyed every minute. Sunset was our highlight. And the convenience of being 3 minutes from the ferry to Davis. Very responsive host. Would love to stay here again!

1 night at Pasture Creek Farms

Great quiet and private experience, there’s a little noise from the nearby road but nothing too distracting. Veronika was extremely quick to respond and was very accommodating. We will definitely camp here again!

1 night at Crockett Landing

We loved this site! Stayed with friends and Paul is very chill. Site 3 was a good site pretty far from all the others. Surrounding area was very cool with many things to see and do.

Weekend Trip to Crockett Landing

We loved our stay at Crockett Landing! What a magical place and memories for our family. We loved campsite 5, it felt like a private island with plenty of room for our 8-person tent. We enjoyed walking the trails on the property, climbing up to the tree fort to stargaze at night, and campfires with s’mores. Paul was a gracious host and has created such a special place which respects the land, but provides nice amenities for a relaxed camping adventure.

2 nights at Crockett Landing

Paul is a great host with a great location. He continues to improve his site. I can't wait until the next time I stay there to see what he accomplishes. I took the ferry out to Shackleford and Cape Lookout islands which is only a 15 minute drive from his place. Both are must see destinations!

1 night at Crockett Landing

It was so thoughtfully decorated and set up! I was so impressed. I felt like a lost boy from Peter Pan and it felt like a magical home. I was impressed by the beautifully set up hot showers and composting toilets, which requires a lot of upkeep. We stayed in one of the simpler campsites, but it was epic to explore the trails and see the other campsites that had more epic infrastructure! Such a beautiful area, such a beautiful piece of land, and such a beautiful thing to do with it. The outdoor kitchen and games box were a lovely touch. Please keep developing it Paul! I definitely want to come back.

Weekend Trip to Escape near Cape Lookout

Really great spot. Would be good for a small group too. Nice breeze all night long. At first was concerned of possible road noise but really none at all. Proximity to Cape Lookout ferry is a plus. Highly recommend and would stay there again.

Weekend Trip to Escape near Cape Lookout

We had an amazing time. The sun rose right over the water, it was beautiful. Trash was closeby and gas station down the road. Stars were beautiful too - would highly recommend.

2 nights at Live Oaks Farm

Patrick was amazing and the site was awesome. Super nice host and very accommodating. WILL be back again.

3 nights at Crockett Landing

Paul is incredibly hospitable! When we got there, we were the only people booked, so Paul let us have any campsite we wanted. He very kindly chopped some wood for us on the night we got there. We stayed at campsite #4, which included a great raise platform to tent on, which Paul built himself. Paul really has been building a fanstastic spot. The outdoor bathrooms and kitchen station were super appreciated. He had a bunch of free to use equipment, such as fishing poles and kayaks. Over all, fantastic stay. Beaufort is a great hidden spot of NC, I highly recommend this stay!

Be prepared for mosquitoes, especially at dusk. Recommend spray or a bug light. Carteret County is now spraying our site for mosquitoes!
