We recently stayed overnight at Wallace Meadows and it was one of the most lovely places we've ever been to! Rich was very friendly and welcoming and the hookup & amenities they offered for a fee were excellent. The bath house was spotless and we each enjoyed a nice hot shower! The property is surrounded by trees and it was very tranquil. There's even a guesthouse which could possibly accommodate fellow travelers who may not have an RV. There's also a laundry room but we didn't use it. They have a background in hospitality and it really shows. Before we left, we purchased some fresh eggs from their farm, beautifully packaged and delicious! We will return to North Carolina. There's so much to see here and we'll definitely return to Wallace Meadows Farm.
just want to start by saying the camp host, Tanya, is awesome. super friendly and helpful. bathrooms were very clean and well stocked.
the flys were bitting, but the mosquitos were not terrible.
there is water access but no beach.
sites have a good amount of trees to give prIvacy.
$10 a night
Oyster Point Campground is no frills. But vault toilets were well maintained and cleaned.
Campsites are large and spread out. Logs were at each campsite when we arrived, great for firewood or for seating around the campfire.
Campground sits along a body of water, but no water access from any sites. At the entrance to campground there are hiking trails.
Area is remote. Closest shopping was more than 10 miles away.
Host was friendly and personable.
Highly recommend and will return again ourselves.
It was our first time visiting. The host was very nice, the camp sites clean and kept. We found a few paths to the river but the river access was very small. There is a Mountain-to-Sea path nearby as well.
Found the campground on a map and went to see what it was all about. Sites are very large and well maintained. The bathroom is a vaulted toilet. The water spot is close to sites. No power, that makes it real camping. Great experience.
Nice little campground well kept. Make sure you don’t check in after hours lol. Make sure you bring good bug spray!!!
We stopped to check it out and it was closed due to the coronavirus. It is also the location on the southern trailhead for the Neusiok trail, part of the mountains to see trail. Highly recommend hiking the trail from the campground! Views are beautiful!
We really enjoyed our night at Oyster Point. The host was friendly and helped me find another campsite when my was taken by an unregistered guest. We were able to launch kayaks almost directly from campsite #11. Tent pads are big enough for 1 large tent or 2 small tents. The campground is small so fairly quiet.
**Pro's: **
Metal Fire Ring/Grill
Picnic tables
Lots of lantern hooks
Port a Johns were very clean
Some cons:
The bugs are bad in June and bug spray didn't really help.
The sites aren't in order by number.
The gravel road had a lot of ruts in it so getting my trailer with kayaks in and out was a lot of trouble.
No showers
Port a johns were noticeably tilted down hill
Nice quiet rustic with lots of privacy if you choose. Very friendly onsite host.
This helps find any campgrounds anywhere awesome
We loved this campground! It was so easy to access, the roads were well maintained and it was right on the coast. Plenty of campsites so one was easy to grab even without a reservation. Each site is super clean with a fire ring and picnic table. Free water spigots and nice gravity toilets. Price was also reasonable and the hosts were very kind. Only complaint is nature related and that’s the bugs! The flys are insane but you’ll quickly learn to ignore them - aside from a few bites here and there. We smoked them out and it was fine for the most part. We will definitely be back!
We tent camped at this small (16 sites) campground in late May. The location is pretty and on the water. Not a swimming place, but there is a launch for canoes and kayaks. The location is a perfect staring point for hiking in Croatan National Forest. Fierce biting bugs and ticks during certain seasons, so bug spray is a must! Campsites are large and clean with some shade and old (need repair) picnic tables and fire pits. Some sites have electric hook ups. Toilet facilities are there but I do not recommend. Sites feel relatively private, but you do sometimes hear your neighbors. Most sites had RV campers when we stayed there. Also small youth groups frequent this location. Good for tent camping and not far to Carteret County beaches.
We loved our 2 night visit to Oyster Point Campground. Large campsite with shade and privacy, next to the Newport river, and very quiet. Insects were not bad at all (mid October). Campground host was very friendly. Fire pits and picnic tables are showing age and could be replaced. Other than that, a perfect stay.
Fun place to camp, water close by, picnic table and fire ring. Tent pads are pretty big. Host is very nice and cheap.
Oyster Point is small. Only 15 or so sites. It’s also simple, with few amenities. It was very peaceful when we stayed. Lots of birds to hear. We identified 8, but there were more. The Neusiok Trail on this end was not well maintained. Lots of high weeds. The river was pleasant to look out at. They did some work recently and cleared a lot of the trees and brush from the riverside sites. You can now see the river from most sites and you get more breeze (some relief from the bugs!) I recommend if you want to get away from louder, busy campgrounds and also want to save some money! $10/night, +$8 if you reserve online.
Besides the creepy homeless guy they couldn't get rid of, this place is great! For $10 a night you really can't complain. Comes with a bench and a fire pit, and they just cleared all the underbrush and chopped a few trees down and left all the wood cut up nice and neat for the fire pits! Right by the water, although I didn't catch any fish. 15 minute drive from the city just in case you forgot anything. Also, if you happen to stop by, say hi to Mrs. Tonya, the campground host. Real sweet lady who loves to chit chat
Ms tonya was friendly and helpful and really welcomed us into the community.
I chose this site in hopes of being in a private wooded area. Very dissapointed. Original pics and videos i saw were showing lots of coverage. But now everything is so open, you can see every persons camp site. Theres no real privacy. They are also sticklers about dogs on leashes. Even though mine was trained and playing with us in our area. We were still forced to leash him. There are toilets at each end, but it's a pit. No flushing. No sink. No showers. There are fire pits with grates and also a picnic table. There is also a lot of rocks around the tent pad area and picnic table.
There's a wooded trail that leads up to the main gravel road you come in on. Very narrow. Also water but only half the campsites are looking onto it. I believe it's only odd numbered spots. Overall it was an okay time for the price. Wouldn't come here again.
Couldn't even attempt fishing because the wind was bad. There was only a small area to even try, but there was an oyster contamination sign. Dirty Foam all around the edge of the water.
Oyster Point has a ton of charm. It's quiet and serene. Campsites are relatively close but fat enough to feel like there's some privacy. Close to the water and a lovely 21 mile trail. Potable water available along with raised bathrooms and trash receptacles. It's a solid 9/10. Drawbacks are the biting flies and tough ground if you're tenting.
Not a whole lot going on at this site. The trail was washed out without warning. There are toilets available without running water. Bugs were bad but that’s to be expected. Not a bad place, not great either.
Oyster Point: Great sites. Sites w water view are best.

Quiet, beautiful, cheap, great cell service. Love this place!
Great spot and host
This is one of the closest campgrounds for civilians to visit the Camp Lejeune and Jacksonville, NC areas. The facilities are nice with numerous things to do, primarily focused towards the fact that the majority of this campground is permanent residents. The campground extends to the water with good fishing available. We stayed here in a motorhome.
My wife and I spent a few days here while searching the area for potential retirement location. It's also a seasonal campground. Bathrooms were spotless, beautiful pool and a nice little waterslide for the kids. Our site was right on water with a great view of the sunset. The barrier Island's are only 5 minute ride over the bridge
Very nice place,well keep,nice paved streets,nice boat ramps,nice piers,nice laundry room, good cell service. WiFi available for $$$ more,cable 👎👎👎 Wanted to stay for a month but only had 21 days opening. $1800 👎
This is a great campground if you don’t want to be far off the main road or by yourself. It is bustling with activity and people and everyone was very nice! The pool is amazing! The slide is so fun! It has 3ft all the way to 6ft roped off sections in the pool! Lots of year round permanent residence with some super cute homes. There is a lake in the middle. The gate closes at 4 and you must have a pass to open it. Very nice place!
