Need to recharge, reconnect and truly escape it all? This is your place. Our property is a unique, healing place to unplug and be surrounded by the beauty of eastern North Carolina. Nestled along the Neuse River with big mature trees draped with Spanish moss ,we have 1000ft of riverfront as well as a peaceful pond, dock and prayer/mediation labyrinth. You will experience the gnarliest, most unforgettable sunsets, overwhelming peace, tranquility and a supreme connection back to nature. With only a 10 minute drive to historic downtown New Bern, you can experience the best of both worlds. Many people tell us, and we know it true ourselves, there is something truly healing about our property, come find out! -Our campsite is located on a peninsula surrounded by the river, because of the nature of the property, we do not allow children under 10 to visit. -Firewood is not provided but can be purchased at KOA just down the highway. -Fishing licenses are required for those wishing to fish -On your ride down our dirt road you will pass mobile homes about a 1/4 of a mile from us. These are our friendly neighbors that keep to themselves and do not interact with our property. If you are not comfortable driving past that, this might not be the campsite for you. This is very common in rural North Carolina. -Campsite is for 5 people and 2 tents max. If you have more than 5 people coming please request to add additional people to your reservation. -Our bathroom has a sink, toilet & electricity. There is no shower available.Our property is unlike any other in Craven County. Nestled along the Neuse River with 1,000 feet of waterfront, you will experience the gnarliest sunsets, overwhelming peace and tranquility and a supreme connection back to nature (plus, we have a bathroom for you!). Not only are you surrounded by the Neuse River, we also have a beautiful pond on our property as well as a prayer labyrinth, dock and boat ramp for launching your kayaks/canoes. With only a 10 minute drive to historic downtown New Bern you can experience the best of both worlds. Some of the wildlife you may see: bald eagles, beavers, jumping mullets, hawks, dear, geese, turtles, cranes. We have a bathroom facility that has toilet, sink and electricity. 1-2 tents (or add an additional 2 people for $5/person) are permitted for this site, and only those on the reservation are permitted on the property. If you have another party joining you, they will need to make a separate reservation. We are surrounded by water and this campsite is on a peninsula that has marsh on both sides, it is not a safe place for small children no matter how well behaved they are. We love kids, but acknowledge this is not a safe environment for small children. *Please keep in mind that we are on the water and may be subject to high winds and rough waters depending on the weather, no refunds will be given due to cancellation for weather* Many people have told us, and we agree ourselves, this place is truly healing. You will leave feeling a sense of renewal, peace and a connection back to nature. Ending your day with a beautiful sunset on one end of the property, and beginning the next morning with sunrise is truly special. Bring your yoga mat, fishing rods, a good book, and unleash your inner child in the wonderful outdoors. Things to note: -When arriving you will drive down a 1/4 mile dirt road. Because of our elevation and being surrounded by water, there are lots of inevitable potholes. You will also drive past a couple of mobile homes on your way down before you reach our property (they are friendly neighbors and respect our privacy fully). It sometimes comes with the territory of living in rural North Carolina, if that makes you uncomfy this might not be the place for you. -MCAS Cherry Point (military base) is about 25 min away, you may hear/see jets flying over at times. We also are about a mile from a train and a 1/4 mile from the main road. On a still day without wind you may hear the train or loud trucks. -You may experience wildlife (bugs, snakes, deer, bird, beavers, etc), please keep your pets leashes at all times. -Because of our coastal environment wind & storms can be intense at times. If we think it is unsafe for you to visit we will let you know and try our best to reschedule you to another time. -We love kids but admit our property is not safe for small children. -The bathroom is a basic toilet & sink with electricity (there is an outlet for charging things). We want your stay to be as enjoyable as possible and are here for help, questions or recommendations but we are generally quite hands off as hosts and want you to have privacy. Because we live on the property you may see/hear us from time to time but we are very low key, peaceful people :)

Peaceful Riverfront Camping

Beautiful property Amazing Hosts!!!

Beautiful and private location with gorgeous sunsets and water views. Beautiful fishing location, tons of shade, fire pit, flat land, not muddy or overly sandy. Just perfect! We intended to camp right by the water but it was a bit windy, so we moved back inland just a bit and it was perfect. The property is gorgeous and the hosts are fantastic! We got rained on during our first full day and the waterproofing on our tent did not hold up. We thought we were going to have to pack up and leave because our bedding was soaked. However, Laura and Trey were amazing and offered up some fresh linens and towels for us to dry things out and sleep comfortably. This totally saved our vacation! These are amazing people and we definitely intend to come back. The bathroom was super clean and was definitely nice to have available. No shower, so bring a shower tent, but running water and a clean toilet are always nice to have. We were so happy with our stay and hated to leave! Looking for Seafood while you’re here? Ask Laura and Trey about their seafood market and restaurant that they own! The food is incredible! (Hushpuppies are unmatched!)

Only downside was having to leave

We had a perfect weekend. The privacy along with the bathroom made it great. We never explored the main waterfront area because we were so content at the peninsula. The host texted to see if we needed anything but they never intruded on us. The sunset was awesome and we were even lucky enough to see the star link satellites. We will definitely be back.

River side camping

The road to paradise has a few potholes…is that a saying? You follow a dirt road with a few potholes (not that bad, I promise) and wind up on a beautiful property. We stayed on the river site so you pass the bathroom, turn right and follow it to the river. The ground was flat and there was a fire pit. Short walk to the bathroom. Just a simple toilet and sink but it’s all you really need. There was firewood onsite. We could have fished right from the campsite or the Seawall which was just another short walk. We were able to watch the fish jump, what we believe were sea otters swim by and the ducks right from inside our tent. Overall, my only real complaint is that I wasn’t able to stay longer but that’s not the hosts fault. I definitely recommend this place. I’ll be coming back!!!

Laurel, the host was very responsive to messages. Very good directions and instructions. The place is an absolutely gorgeous spot. Sit on the pier a watch a gorgeous sunset, and catch fish from the pier or pond. Great value. A much cooler place to stay than the KOA down the road.. does not have hookups though. ✌️
