Rated Finalist for Top Hipcamp in 2023 and 2024! This is a Family Venue! No Parties and/or drunknesses allowed. We strive to create an environment for nature viewing, stargazing, fishing, and unwinding in nature as camping should be. the historic pond was originally much smaller. We have records that date back to our 6th Great-Grandfather, Joab Fountain, who received a royal grant from the crown in 1773 for the property and then just a grist mill, blacksmith shop and old general store. The property was passed down through the Fountain family until the late 1910's. Originally a creek dammed up for the purpose of the mill it was later dug out in the late 1940's by Lee Baysden. In a long story (that can soon be found on our website/blog) the land was auctioned off in 2007. This landowner dug it out and made it the 22-acre lake that it is today. The property also features 2 smaller ponds and surrounded by woods, swamp, and farmed fields, a total of 84 acres. Divided by Duplin and Onslow County line making it very unique! Chinquapin, NC The store/office is the original detached kitchen from his homeplace, which is the white house just up the street. We still use this today and it has Mr. Lee Baysden's handwriting in the store that states opened June 1956. The pond was owned and fished until the late 1990's. A hurricane damaged the dam and land was sold sometime after. The next owner dug the pond into the lake it is today and fixed the dam. In 2020 My husband Tyler, and I decided to buy the Pond when we saw the signs up for sale in the height of the pandemic. We created JCO, Juniper Creek Outfitters and Guide Service, fall 2020 and began to restore the lake and land to better than ever! We introduced our first Glamping A-Frame cabin in 2021 and in 2024 the Floating Cabin. We host community events such as fishing tournaments, music, movie nights, and food trucks. We also host special occasions in the cabins from engagements, honeymoons, birthdays anniversaries. Youth groups and scouts also welcome. Ask about special pricing. Our camp office/store is opened most weekends or by check-in requests and fishing passes available 7 days a week online from sunrise-dark. Our lake features fishing for Bass, Crappie, Bream, Catfish, Bowfin, varieties of Panfish, and more. Check out our Facebook page (JCO Campground at Lee Baysden Pond) for all the latest news and catches! We have tagged bass that have been released back into the lake. Let us know if you catch one so we can record it! We are continually trying to make JCO and Lee Baysden Pond a great place in our community for friends and families! Enjoy the great outdoors unplugging from all the daily devices of reality. Enjoy bird watching for ducks, geese, heron, osprey or occasional eagle, owls, turkey, deer, and more. We now have a lake Kitty that adopted us and is now part of the team. Her name is "Tail", named by our 4 year old, Beckham. You may see Tail roaming around by the office or patrolling the campground as lake security. Beckham and our new baby girl Atley will be with us most days in office or helping to check you in to your sites! Eight RV sites- # 2, 6, 7, 8 are 30/50 amp, water hookups, fire pit, and waterfront.

Absolutely beautiful!! The cabin was clean and smelled lovely. The lake sounds were so peaceful, you really feel one with nature. I’d suggest an eye mask if you are sensitive to light at night (from the AC, which was much needed and worked well).

Timber Creek Primitive Tent Site #4

We absolutely loved this campsite! The setup was perfect—secluded, peaceful, and quiet, exactly what we were looking for. There was plenty of space for three large tents and two vehicles, with room to spare. It made for a really comfortable and relaxing experience. Two of my boys got to learn to fish right from the campsite. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Timber Creek Primitive Tent Site #4

The hosts are wonderful. The site was perfect. We had a wonderful time. Everyone was very friendly with our pup. We were able to chat with many people and fish all day.

I loved camping at Contessa’s land. She was soo welcoming! The space is great for a bit of hiking and the views are to die for. Plus the town is perfect for a little getaway! They even invited us to a town fundraiser 🥰

Primitive Tent on Little Pond

What stood out about Contessa’s land was the peaceful atmosphere and the thoughtful touches that made the stay feel extra special. The space is well-maintained and offers a great balance of privacy and connection to nature. Whether it was the cozy setup, beautiful views, or the warm hospitality, it’s clear that Contessa takes pride in creating a welcoming experience. Expect quiet nights, scenic surroundings, and a spot that feels like a hidden gem.

Lakeview Hammock Hollow

Very nice and private site right on the water! Perfect for hammocking and relaxing. Saw a lot of wildlife and the sounds at night will put you right to sleep. Porta potty was nearby and stocked with toilet paper. Purchased some bundles of wood from the main office and they burned nicely. Would definitely recommend and come back!

I have enjoyed the pleasure of Contessa’s beautiful property several times. It is so peaceful and they go out of their way to accommodate each and every guest. It is very well maintained and everyone I have met that is camping love it. It’s my go to place that I know I can just relax, feel safe and enjoy the sound of the ducks and watch the Eagles fly over the lake. I hope to return a couple of times each year. The wildlife I have enjoyed on my visits are, Eagles, Ducks, Wild Turkeys and a beautiful Buck Deer crossing the dam at dawn.

Absolutely enjoyed our stay! The owners were very accommodating and helpful!! We stayed at sunset cove site 1 with our dog, the view was beautiful and the site was very private which we were also able to go fishing off of which was amazing! We will definitely be back soon!

My wife and I had an awesome evening camping. Tessa met us on arrival and showed us to a campsite that would be better suited for windy conditions that were expected. Great host! We had a secluded spot all to ourselves. Would recommend and would stay again!

Thanksgiving outdoors!!

Site 9 Lake View 30/50 amp

The hosts were great! Always checking on things to see if we needed anything. Very friendly. Let us know about locals stores ahead of time. Very quick and communicative with plans at the lake and the area. The cabins on the property are adorable. The view was sooo beautiful. Plenty of hiking to go see other beautiful sites around the whole lake. Even saw an otter...so cute! Met Tail...the sweet local kitty. It was such a great way to spend our Thanksgiving. Would definitely love to come back!

Site 4- Sunset Cove

First time we went tent camping at Site 4- Sunset Cove at JCO Campground at Lee Baysden Pond. What a great experience. Out hosts Tessa and Tyler were very accommodating and made us feel at home. We loved our tent site and was great for us to launch our kayaks. Excellent view of the pond with a few trees overhead. Bring a hammock because there are two trees close enough by the water to just lounge and chill. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get out and just chillax!!!! We will be back again. Thanks again Tessa and Tyler

Site 3 Sunset Cove

This place is incredible, great sites, great accessable amenities even when primitive camping. Top notch host in Tessa, I highly suggest for a camping getaway with family or just to get away by yourself for some fishing or R&R.

Timber Creek Primitive Tent Site #4

This was my first time at this specific site (Timber Creek #4). There was plenty of room for my truck and my tent. The site had a picnic table, fire pit, and a garbage can. Very peaceful. Lots of wildlife and easy access to launch my kayak right from the site. In the 2 years I've been coming out here (the hosts are awesome), I think I got to see the best sunset yet this trip.

The place was so quiet and peaceful. Portable toilets were like brand new. We walked around the property and there were so many hidden gems! If you want privacy on a beautiful lot, this is your place. The hosts were super friendly and quick to respond. My favorite part was the night sky, it's far enough away from the cities that the stars were on full display! There's also plenty to do within a quick drive. We will definitely be back.

Site 2 Fav Lake View 50amp

This is one of the most serene and beautiful campsites I have ever been to. You can't ask for nicer hosts. We camped at site 2 and felt like we had the entire lake (I know it's a pond, but it's huge!) to ourselves. We were only 20 minutes from Duplin Winery and about 45 minutes from the beaches and coastal areas in Wilmington. My only regret is we couldn't stay longer! Thank you Tessa for a wonderful mini vacation. We will coming back!
