Stories from the community

4 nights at Captain’s Corner ⚓️

Definitely recommend!! Great spot. Very quiet location. HUGE lot. 1 minute walk to a restaurant/bar. Claudine and her husband were both amazing hosts, she was very responsive and accommodating. Will definitely be booking again in the future. This was our first time ever using Hipcamp and it definitely seems to be a better way to go versus staying at a campground.

Weekend Trip to Waterfront Quiet Central Location!

We only slept here and for us the place was fine. We felt safe and the camper was secure during the day while we were away. The site is peaceful and pretty, the host is friendly. The parking is back in only, the camper door faces the fence. The sewer hookup is unaccessible when the camper is fully backed into the parking space. The fire pit and water were inviting but we did not use either.

3 nights at The marsh property

Nice, clean, flat secluded spot near the OBX beaches and fishing spots. Host was easy to work with and very helpful. Had 30amp and water at the roadside spot.

Weekend Trip to The Refuge On Roanoke Island

This was a nice stop for us as we headed north back to MD. Nags Head and Kitty Hawk were a close drive. The HipCamp sites were located with bay frontage. This may be obvious for some but not so for me... the # in front of the "Full Hook-up" description is your site #. Wished for better weather!

2 nights at Waterfront Quiet Central Location!

Perfect spot to park & unhitch from our 18’ travel camper. Located within 30 minutes to Virginia Beach and less to many historic spots & other types of attractions.

2 nights at Gretchen’s Big Pine Carolina Estate

It was very lovely. Quiet and everything as described.

14 nights at Captain’s Corner ⚓️

Claudine responded to a FB post where we were desperately seeking a campsite near Virginia Beach after emergency changes to our travel plans left us without one over Memorial Day weekend. Some may argue that Grandy isn’t close to VB at about an hour away, but, Captain’s Corner turned out to be great! We were close enough to visit with our family and the OBX offered some fun opportunities to explore new things! The site itself was clean, spacious and quiet; we had the whole corner to ourselves. We rode bikes around the Walnut Island neighborhood, fished at the site and over by the little pier next to the Bar & Grill at the end of the road. *We didn’t try eating there, but a couple locals said it was good. Sadly, on the last day of our trip, the unthinkable happened and our seemingly healthy 2yr old kitty got super sick and we rushed him to the local Emergency Vet. As it turned out he had an acute heart condition and we lost him. It was shocking and terrible. I share this only to say that Claudine and her family were so kind and helpful. They offered to allow us to stay as long as we needed and even let us leave a little memorial behind to help us grieve. If you stay here someday, give a thought to the softest kitty in the world. 🩶 Dorian Gray 🩶 8.29.23 ~ 05.27.25

4 nights at Evans Family Farm

This was an amazing site. There was plenty of room to explore, both in and out of the water. The hosts were incredibly gracious as we booked what I would call last minute before a holiday weekend. Our group of 8 were impressed with the property and would 100% recommend this to other campers.

Weekend Trip to Spruill Conservation Farm

the site was incredible! the trails on the property take you through swamps, hardwood forests, and a beach! The site was right next to the albemarle sound and we had a great time taking the kayaks out during sunset. The firewood was so conveniently located and the porta-potties were so clean!

Weekend Trip to Spruill Conservation Farm

Awesome place to get away and spend some time next to the water. Plenty of space to fish, kayak, and take a walk through the forest on the property.

4 nights at Spruill Conservation Farm

Another wonderful long weekend at Spruill. The sunsets r just to die for and the fishing is great! The site was very clean when we got there, as always, as well as the potty. There r several great options for hanging a hammock and the location is very private with such a relaxing vibe. We already have our next trip booked!

Weekend Trip to Evans Family Farm

I debated leaving a review because this place was incredible. Hidden gem of a property and campground. Camped in a 16' bell tent right beside the water. Neighbors we had we're helpful and guided us to camping. I recommend not driving in at night though.

3 nights at Gator Creek

This was my second time staying at Gator Creek and it certainly won't be my last. It's very private, secure, quiet and beautiful. What more could you ask for?! It's also close to the ARNWR (see pictures) and it's just a little farther to the OBX for those so inclined. Stop by the local country store and say hello to Mr. Baily while you're there. Watch for the muskrats in the water near the entrance. They're fun to watch!

1 night at Waterfront Quiet Central Location!

Rene and Pete's site is actually just to the side of their house and in their backyard. The property is right on some water and it was so peaceful and quiet, even with a neighbor on the other side of the fence from my van. I have two dogs and they had free roam of the backyard without being leashed. Pete was even kind enough to send me information on dining close by. Both Rene and Pete were very courteous, very kind and willing to do anything I needed.

Weekend Trip to Spruill Conservation Farm

Another great stay here! Would recommend as the site is well maintained and quiet. The hosts were awesome and said hello!

4 nights at Gator Creek

We enjoyed it!! it rained the last couple of days, but we made it work:)

2 nights at Spruill Conservation Farm

We had another wonderful stay at Spruill Farm. The views are unbeatable. We saw an otter in the sound, fish jumping out of the water and a black fox squirrel in the woods. There are times the sound gets choppy then there are times where it’s perfectly still. We enjoyed paddle boarding around the cypress trees and even took a swim. The whole area and the port a potty is kept super clean. The sites are far enough away that even when we had neighbors it was still really private. They continue to make improvements to the sites like adding a privacy fence between site 3 and the community fishing spot. It’s evident they really care about their land and their guests. Julia is always just a message away for any questions and is so nice and personable. Can’t wait to come back soon.

1 night at Spruill Conservation Farm

Such a magical place!! Definitely will be back. The host we’re amazing and provided a warm, lovely welcoming!

Weekend Trip to Spruill Conservation Farm

Camping on Julia’s property was amazing! The view was so relaxing, the walking trails were filled with amazing natural scenery. Each campsite was far enough to still have privacy at your own camp. The feeling of waking up to a beautiful sunrise, throw a fishing line in, start a morning fire and cook breakfast all in the same area was so wonderful.

Weekend Trip to Spruill Conservation Farm

Stayed at campsite 1 with a roof top tent. Amazing location, we were able to pull right alongside the firepit and benches along the river, couldn't have been a better set up. Very quiet and peace full spot. the host was extremely polite.

Gator Creek

1 site · RV, Tent6 acres · Columbia, NC

Located near Alligator River on the Little Alligator Creek. Fishing all around, just a short walk thru the woods or down the road. There is no clear path cut to the creek. I try to keep as much outside interference away from the property as possible. Public boat ramp in walking distance. Game lands are nearby with hunting for deer, bear etc. in season of course. No hunting allowed at Gator Creek. Not much light pollution so great for sky watchers. Lots of wild plants. Fiddle Head Ferns, Hearts A Busting, Wild Blueberries, Elderberry and more. A porta john located at my personal cabin but guest are welcome to use it or even pitch your tent in my cabin yard. City water available. We are adding a cooking shack for your use and hope to have it ready in a couple weeks. We do ask that you dispose of your trash appropriately because of the wild animals at Gator Creek. I am not on the site when campers are there. I want each camper to have the use of the property by themselves, that is the reason for only one camper at the time. I will add, I cannot guarantee how many Dragon Flys, birds, squirrels, bears etc. you will see, if any. You are camping in the wild in wetlands surrounded by state hunting preserves. If you want the outdoor life and like the wild Gator Creek is the place for you. PS: I am open to allowing car campers and or small camper vans.
