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. Instead, you’ll have the freedom to choose your own setup within the open camping area, whether you prefer staying closer to the entrance or venturing farther back for a more secluded feel.
The land opens up at the front and gradually narrows toward the back, creating natural variation in space and privacy. Many guests enjoy the peaceful setting and the ability to truly disconnect while still having the convenience of nearby essentials.
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
• Quick overnight stays
• Anyone wanting a simple, peaceful place to land

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.
