If you're looking to unplug, spread out, and enjoy a quiet piece of land to yourself, Camp Waypoint is exactly that.
This is a private, wooded property offering a simple, no-frills camping experience—no hookups, no crowds, and no designated sites.

While it feels tucked away, you’re just 7 minutes from Walmart, gas stations, and food if needed, and a short drive from East Carolina University, making this a great option for game days, events, or visiting family.
This is true primitive camping—bring everything you need and pack everything out when you leave.
Perfect for:
• Self-sufficient campers
• Tent camping
• Couples or solo travelers looking for quiet

Escape to a peaceful riverside getaway where beautiful views, outdoor adventure, and modern camping comforts come together. Located about three miles off I-95 along the Little River, our private family property is the perfect place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and make lasting memories.
Guests are welcome to explore and enjoy the property, including the yard, river views, and many outdoor amenities.

Our dogs may occasionally bark when guests arrive or move about the property, but they are always secured. You're welcome to visit the chicken area and see the flock, but we ask that the coop remain closed and the chickens be left undisturbed.
Please enjoy the property within the split-rail fence boundaries and avoid entering our neighbors' private property.
We'll gladly respect your privacy, but if you'd like local recommendations, have questions, or simply want to chat, we're always happy to help.
Whether you're looking for a quiet riverside escape, a fun family getaway, or a place to unplug and reconnect with nature, we hope you'll enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, beautiful sunsets, and all the little moments that make Little River Sunset Retreat a special place to visit.

We bought the property in search of gold. After exploring the land after we bought it, we discovered a 200ft ship from 1906 buried 4ft under the ground. We are inviting people to come enjoy this experience with us as we excavate the ship, to learn history, and to learn unique outdoor activities. There are so many treasures still left to be found.

Nice spot that was close to town and peaceful. Easy in and out as fast as the spots. A little tight coming in though. If you have a long unit, swing wide as possible. Otherwise, a place I'd use again.

The site is well furnished (tents, tables, chairs and fire pit) and the owners are very friendly and helpful. The string lights add a great ambience after dark (make sure to ask for them to be plugged in). The only downside is the roosters who start crowing as early as 3:00 AM and may awaken light sleepers.

Weekend Trip to The Homestead At Little Creek
Great space, lovely property, wonderful hosts. We had a group of 10 for overnight camping and we had room to spare. We definitely plan to come back!
The big tent is BIG and could have probably accommodated all 10 of us. But we chose to spread out a bit so the kids could have their own little tent sleepovers.
There were pretty lights, comfortable easy bathroom access, chairs for sitting around the fire, a gate to keep kids in, and the star attraction was visits from the dog!
We also enjoyed watching the cows come up to fence with the baby calves. We spent hours down by the creek.
