Dogwood Family Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

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.

Gravel parking lot

Full timers and long term on business campers beware! This campground has nothing to offer. The owners of this 1 year old campground are very strict with their rules and regulations. They are very nice in person and when checking in but soon you will find yourself receiving passive aggressive emails from them about rule violation they’ve spotted on the 6 or more cameras throughout the park. They have a very strict leash law here but offer no dog run/park area for your K-9 to play. They claim a dog park is on the list of things to come, but the second half of a drain field will come first. There are no amenities here, other than a very small fishing pond and some poorly maintained walking trails at the rear of the campground that have piles of post construction material scattered about. The campground is on well water and very brown in color so I would not drink or cook with it. Over half of the sites have your living side of the RV facing west and there is not a tree in sight, so in the summer be prepared to bake in the sun. The entire campground is gravel parking lot with 10 foot slivers of grass between each site and god forbid don’t let Sean the owner see you put anything(rug, vehicle, etc…) on his beloved grass. I gave this campground 2 stars… 1 for being dark and quiet at night and the other star for the free and decent wifi. So if you don’t want spied on via cameras, harassed, a dusty rig and a place for Fido to play, I would suggest going 8 miles down the road to an awesome campground called Whispering pines you and your dog will be much happier!

Great Setup

Very quiet campground, even with the construction going on to build more lots. Owners are helpful and wonderful people.

Relax and unwind

This spot is close to everything without being on top of it all! Kid friendly, pet friendly, and very clean! All of the lots are level making for an easy setup! This is nice because you can get to enjoying your time away from home quickly! The owners, Lisa& Shawn are very hands on with this campground making sure that everyone is comfortable and feels at home while staying here! We originally booked 3 nights and added an additional night because we weren’t quite ready for our stay to end! This place is truly a hidden gem!! We will definitely be back!
