Dogwood Family Campground sits roughly four miles northwest of camping near Newport, tucked into a forested stretch of coastal North Carolina with a small fishing pond and walking trails at the rear of the property. The campground is privately owned and relatively new, with full RV hookups including electric, water, and sewer at each site. Sites run $66 to $80 per night.
The layout is gravel throughout, with level pads and narrow grass strips between sites. Many sites on the western half of the campground face into the afternoon sun with little tree cover, which can make summer stays uncomfortable without good awning coverage. The fishing pond gives anglers a nearby outlet, though the walking trails behind the campground have been noted as poorly maintained, with construction debris still present along sections of the path. The campground's well water runs brown, so campers relying on the tap for drinking or cooking should plan to bring their own supply.
Reviewers have noted the campground tends to stay dark and quiet overnight. WiFi is included and described as functional. Pets are allowed, though the leash rules are strictly enforced and no dedicated off-leash area currently exists. For campers who prefer more dispersed options in the area, Croatan NF Dispersed off FR 168 and Croatan NF Dispersed off FR 128 (Millis Road) are both located to the southwest within Croatan National Forest. Dogwood Family Campground is best suited to RV travelers looking for a no-frills overnight stop with reliable hookups and low noise levels.
Description
We are a cozy, family-friendly campground in Newport, NC. Enjoy being tucked away beside the Croatan Forest and only a short drive (30 minutes) away from all the Crystal Coast beaches, 10 minutes to MCAS Cherry Point, 30 minutes to Historical New Bern, Beaufort and many other local attractions. Close enough to be away from it all. We offer daily, weekly and monthly sites, all with FHU's, monthly sites pay for the electric that they use during that time. We have a catch and release fishing pond, walking trails, a dog area, playground, Wi-Fi and are "dark sky friendly".
