Gator Creek Camping
Winter Camping at Gator Creek!
Gator Creek was a great base camp. I spent four nights tent camping in early February. From the property, I travelled 30 ish minutes to the northernmost OBX ORV ramps and spent most of my day time on the beach. Windy and cold but fun! drove a few miles on the sand and I cooked dinner over the fire.
The cabin yard was a cool place to camp out. The fire pit, table, and (almost finished) cook shack create a great environment to be immersed in the outdoors!
**A note about my visit - the neighbors are active hunters in the area. They did not exercise caution with regards to Joyce's property line.** Joyce is aware and has responded accordingly.

Secluded, close to wildlife refuge
Joyce’s Hipcamp was perfect! So private and secluded. The property was flat which made finding a camp spot super easy. Her amenities (porta Jon) were very clean. It was the midway point for visiting the two local wildlife refuges. Will definitely be staying here again and recommending it to others. We were visiting the local refuges to learn more about the red wolf population and we may have heard them howling from her property after dark (or maybe coyotes). Either way, It was magical.

Quiet, peaceful, lots to do
It was a fantastic trip! totally secluded, yet close to amenities, if needed. Fishing in the river was great, caught some big crappies. Saw tons of wildlife. It has everything you need to enjoy a laid back, no electronics style lifestyle (but have good signal for T-mobile!) and see a billion stars! I thoroughly enjoyed the Perseid meteor shower while there. Definitely will come back.

Best Hipcamp I’ve stayed at so far!
Joyce’s land at Gator Creek was everything I wanted in a campsite! It is the pinnacle of privacy. The property was in an area with very little light pollution for the best stargazing! The shooting berm was a very unique and fun addition! Nearby is a little store run by Colon Bailey and it was like a trip back in time. We stopped in after a day of fishing in the nearby river for a delicious barbecue lunch and cold drinks. I will no doubt be back to stay many more times this summer!
