Key Stone Camp

1 site · RV1 acre · Arapahoe, NC

Learn more about this land:Camp directly on the Neuse River! The views are incredible. Relax on the porch swing, swim off the sandy beach. Mins to Oriental and Minnesott Ferry.When we first saw this property we fell in love with it and we hope you can enjoy this little piece of heaven too. Originally we put in the additional site for friends and family to enjoy and then we found Hipcamp and thought, why not?What I love about the property is the water. It's so relaxing listening to the waves and looking out across the river watching the boats, birds, or dolphins with fish jumping and crab fishermen re-setting their pots. Cherry Point is not far away and we have been delighted by an impromptu fireworks show or a plane fly-by. Oriental is a small town full of sailboats and the town has a lot going on. They have a website called Towndock to see what's happening. You can grab a coffee or ice cream at The Bean, stroll down the waterfront looking at the boats, and drop a line off the fishing pier. There are some great local restaurants and even a Brewery that hosts food trucks and music on the weekends. You will not be in the middle of nowhere as there is a grocery store, a marine store and a dollar general to pick up supplies.The Minnesott Ferry (free) is a 10-minute drive and you can get to Beaufort, NC or Atlantic Beach in about an hour.Welcome! CaraExtra Info: The camping spot is a pull-in along a shared driveway with my neighbor and so you will be perpendicular to the river, but camping is all about being outdoors and there is the yard, picnic table, and beach to share. We haven't put a firepit in yet, but we plan to. When leaving, you would need to back out, but there is a driveway across the street so there is plenty of room. The reservation will be dependent on the rainfall so I don't have the instant book feature turned on. Because parking is on the grass, if it's really wet, you could get stuck and nobody wants that.

Nick’s Nook

5 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents13 acres · Chinquapin, NC

Our little private campground is a hidden jewel in the making. Each campsite is private. We are not a parking lot like so many campgrounds are these days. We are still currently working on infrastructure but are willing to host campers that are self sufficient at a reduced rate for now. We do have a fun play ground, hiking trails, a steam we lovingly named Alligator Gore (to keep the little ones out of the mud). We are pet friendly. Each site has a fire ring or fire pit. We have a full bathroom available. We have a small camp store. We have group camp sites, pull through RV / Camper sites and a few glamping cabins. Located only 40 minutes from the NC coast and much more affordable and less crowded. We are still growing so we do not have a pool yet but will have one in the future. We do have a kids and youth program with weekly crafts and other activities. Picnic tables are available on some sites. Almost across the street is a wonderful boat ramp and fishing spot on the Cape Fear River. Canoe down to a sand bank about a mile down river and have a romantic picnic. A Celtic themed restaurant, the Mad Boar, is just a 10 minute drive if you are looking for a unique farm to table experience. And Duplin Winery is just 15 minutes away with tastings and tours. Located just 10 minutes from I-40 off US 41 we are easily found. A diamond in the rough.
