What a picturesque setting on the river to enjoy a beautiful sunrise & the day that follows. Views of the water, nice sandy “beach” (w/adirondack chairs), level cement pad, power & water, Wi-Fi, warm outdoor enclosed shower, dock and gracious, friendly hosts is what you’ll find at Riverview. We had a fabulous stay despite the cool weather. Our hosts went above and beyond by not only including us on a boat ride, but also chased down (and captured) our canopy that “took sail” in a gust of wind. If Riverview is available and you’re looking for a quiet place to hand out…book it! You can thank us later :-)

Fantastic water view-the sun rises are gorgeous. It was a great location for visiting surrounding areas. We really enjoyed just sitting and watching the water! John was very helpful and prompt in answering all our questions. A hidden treasure for sure.

Great location in Manteo and our site overlooked the sound. Very easy to get to where we needed and had a fantastic storm we got to watch roll in. We would definitely camp there again.

We loved camping at this horse farm. Dawn was responsive and easy to work with. The drive back to the site can be a little tight but if you take your time you can make it easily. Water and electric worked perfectly. It's a great location in fairly close proximity to Rehoboth and other beaches in the area.

4 nights at Waterfront Quiet Central Location!

This site is located in a nice, quiet neighborhood. The owners are super friendly and accommodating. Having full hookups was nice. It was close to numerous restaurants and area attractions and about 30 minutes from the beach. It was a little tight getting into the site, even with only a 23 ft travel trailer. Just be mindful of this if you have a larger rig.

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.

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!

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.
