We enjoyed our stay at Bright Star Farm. It was nice and quiet. The directions were clear and the spot was very nice. They have a nice bathroom. We enjoyed seeing the peacocks and the miniature horses were adorable. It was nice getting a bit of history from the owners and the were super friendly! Would definitely recommend.

Great level spots with all the hookups you need and quiet too. Study the entrance on Google Maps before you go so you know what you are looking for.

Great place to camp! The hosts were friendly and accommodating on the initial greet. They live there on the property but felt private as it's the only tent site. Would absolutely stay again.

We were able to find the campsite without much trouble (we actually used the address of the neighbor to locate the driveway more easily based on street view. We arrived and our host described where to go.
Although we had hoped to see some horses while here, there weren't any out during our stay.
I will say if many of the sites were full, I'd be concerned with turning a larger rig combo like ours to exit.
Other than that, we had a pleasant stay and would return in the future.

The best camping near Greenville with hiking guide
Where to go
Greenville Surrounds
Drive-up camping can be found right at River Park North, where paddlers using the Pamlico-Tar River Water Trail can access camping along the route. Even better, Greenville has rental shops right in town for easy kayaking or standup paddleboarding on the Tar River. The Greenville Greenway and the Bicycle Post Trails mountain biking area are two much-loved local trail systems as well.
Goose Creek State Park
You can paddle the Pamlico River and cruise the boardwalk around a swamp of cypress trees and Spanish moss just 45 minutes east of Greenville at Goose Creek State Park. The Goose Creek campground has both tent camping and RV camping sites with picnic tables, fire rings, restrooms, and showers.
Hammocks Beach State Park
Hammocks Beach State Park is an awesome beach park comprising three barrier islands on the Atlantic coast. The islands are accessible by ferry or paddling and feature coveted car-free beach camping.
Cape Lookout National Seashore
The Cape Lookout National Seashore preserves 56 miles of Outer Banks islands with sandy beaches. Ferries to these islands launch out of Harkers Island and Beaufort, about two hours southeast of Greenville, and once on the stretch of sand, campers can pitch their tent in most island areas (with some exceptions). Surfing, swimming, shelling, fishing, crabbing, and clamming are popular activities—just don’t miss the park’s famous Shackleford Banks island, home to wild horses.
When to go
Greenville’s subtropical climate allows for camping year-round, though summer brings the warmest weather, biggest crowds, and most access. Many barrier island ferries do not operate in winter; for instance, the Cape Lookout National Seashore ferries tend to run from April to November only. Winter brings cold-weather camping anyway, with lows in the 30s and highs in the 50s.
