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!

Weekend Trip to Crockett Landing

Paul’s land is a peaceful beautiful spot to get lost and unplug for a while. I stayed a night to avoid an early morning drive to a fishing trip in Beaufort. The site is very conveniently located near all of the best attractions and fun activities the area has to offer. On site you’ll find great amenities to keep yourself showered, and fed. Each campsite has its own unique personality to it. I will definitely return for a multi-night stay and bring my family along.

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.

1 night at Potters Marine & Campsites

This was a perfect place to spend the night, heading home from Ocracoke, just a short drive from the Swan Quarter ferry. Water, power and a nice level spot, provided everything we needed. We would be happy to go back next time, and highly recommend. Super quiet, safe, and plenty of room to walk around with the dog.

1 night at Spruill Conservation Farm

Second time staying here. This was a quick one nighter on the way to the OBX. Awesome place to stay. I will definitely be back again.

5 nights at Spruill Conservation Farm

This is my 2nd visit. I got lucky and had the whole place to myself for most of my stay! Clean, quiet and beautiful views! I think I saw 3 boats the whole 5 days I was there. I was visited by Tom Turkey a few times and a raccoon was in the area from his little footprints. You will see so many different types of birds, geese, lizards, jumping fish, hawks, eagles, osprey… even one bird that I still haven’t identified. Bring all your water for cooking and drinking. I even have a heated shower, so I brought water for that. Mostly stayed in camp, one day I did go to Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge to photograph the bears. If you truly want to disconnect and relax with nature, this is the place to do it.

Weekend Trip to Crockett Landing

1 night at Escape near Cape Lookout

What a spot. The view is incredible. Very quite and peaceful

2 nights at Spruill Conservation Farm

Amazing views and super kind host, definitely worth it.

1 night at Spruill Conservation Farm

The site is very calming and nice. We met Julia as we arrived and made sure that the previous camper did not left any trash that can be blamed to us. She also made sure that the porta potty is cleaned. We loved the sunset, kayaking and our dogs enjoyed it too.

Weekend Trip to Big Cypress Farm

Booked last minute for a spontaneous roadtrip. Susan was a pleasant and hospitable host. She’d even texted to check on us a couple times during our stay. The spot was exactly as described and my friend and I we’re even visited by a group of ducks waddling around the tent before flocking off into the pond on our last morning. Outdoor toilet had toilet paper and did not smell bad, we’d even got to cook over a fire using the fire pit they left for us. Close proximity to New Bern and definitely worth consideration if looking for a place to stay. Make sure to bring bug spray though

Weekend Trip to Crockett Landing

This campground is great and very family friendly. We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Spruill Conservation Farm

Fantastic site right next to the water. Great views of the cypress trees, and great to wake up to the sound of the waves. Stayed with two kids who loved the woodland trails, kayaking and fishing on the land, as well as the campfire! Portaloo on site is clean and everyone was welcoming and friendly on site and within the local neighbourhood. Location is great. Local store about 10 mins away that stocks most essentials as well. Would highly recommend!

5 nights at Lucky’s Lookout

We had the beat time ever. Will definitely be back!!

1 night at Big Cypress Farm

Host was very nice and area was exactly what I needed for a 1 night stay. ☺️

5 nights at Turkey Trot Trails

We had a great peaceful stay. Logan was a very good host. It's was a nice surprise to learn of the family connection. Great area. We will be back.

4 nights at Gretchen’s Big Pine Carolina Estate

Secluded and quiet. Our pups enjoyed being off leash. Perfect weather for time we were here.

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.
