Bells Island Campground

I arrived here around 8:30 pm after being turned away from nearby Northwest River Park & Campground. Apparently they don't want your money after a certain hour. The host at Bells Island Campground was happy to take my money and show me to a lovely campsite right on the water. I set up my tent in the dark, but discovered in the morning that I was on a big lawn with shade trees and a lovely view of Currituck Sound. My campsite had a solidly-built picnic table, a water spigot, and even a trash can.

The bathroom here was a little funky in its design and layout, but it was clean and served well enough. Overall, I couldn't find anything wrong with this campground, especially at the low price point. Management here is doing a great job.

Bill met us at the entrance and led us to our site. He was very nice and helped us get backed in. The site also has water and electricity.

There seem to be quite a few full timers at this park, so we felt a little like a sore thumb. The bathroom facilities were not clean or very well maintained. Our grass site probably would have been fine had it not rained but we ended up in a bit of a mud pit.

The sunrise view in the morning was very pretty.

We just needed somewhere to park while passing through and this got the job done for that.

Very quiet park, we do love it here! for fishing, swimming and has a boat launch. RVs are welcome with hookups and the price to stay the night is very inexpensive. There are bath houses. Definitely stay under the tress , the sun can get pretty hot but nothing that a nice dip in the sound will help!
