Best RV Parks & Resorts near Creswell, NC

We have been here from early September thru February. Phenomenal place for short term and long term stays. We are full time RV’ers and we usually move on after a few months. But, this place has been a joy. Staff has been exceptionally accommodating and are on top of keeping this park the gem that it is. Monthly rates are great.

There are miles of waling trails around the farms and through the on-site forests. They are directly across the street from the “Deadwood Smokehouse grill”. Deadwood is open Thursday thru Sunday. Good food and lots of activities for kids, playground, miniature railroad with seasonal themes. About 15 minutes to Williamston NC, with plenty of shopping (-Walmart, Food Lion Piggly Wiggly, Tractor Supply).

On-site store with minimal supplies, LP on site, full hookup w/ 20/30/50 amp service, water and sewer, laundry room and shower facilities. 4 out of seven nights expect a kaleidoscope effect sunset. Absolutely amazing.

Currently livestock include a brood mare and colt. We have been feeding them apples and carrots with the owners permission. The campground is about 40 minutes from Greenville and 30 Minutes to Washington. Both Greenville and Washington have several large RV dealerships with plenty of parts and supplies. A Camping World is in Greenville on Red Banks Rd. From here you are about an hour and a half to the Outer Banks.

Oregon Inlet in Hatteras NSS, NC.: Great beach and Kitty Hawk nearby. We like this campground even though sites are pretty tight. We have been here later in November in the past. The weather was much cooler, but this campground is pretty empty then.
(Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good (70 yr olds in 17’ trailer). I rate based on desire for at least a moderate wilderness type experience w at least some camp site privacy. Overall Rating: 3.5 Price 2023: $ 14 w interagency pass for non electric sites Usage during visit: 95% full. Site Privacy: Not good Site Spacing: Sites along the dunes are pretty close. Site surface: Blacktop Reservations: Required Campground Noise: Quiet Road Noise: Noticeable throughout B and C loops. I’ll leave Loop A to be evaluated by tent campers. Homey, I will say to choose a site away from Hwy 12.
Through Traffic in campground: None Electric Hookup: Some sites. See my map in pictures Sewer Hookup: No Dump Station: Yes. It is across the highway to the south of the campground. Potable Water Available: At the dump station and near the restrooms. Generators: Allowed.
Bathroom: Clean flush toilets. Showers: Yes, but a gap between the roof and walls makes for a cold experience this time of year with the wind. Pull Throughs: No Cell Service (AT&T): 2 to 3 bars. Setting: A pretty area between Highway 12 and the dunes. Weather: Highs in upper 60s. Lows are in mid 50s Bugs: A couple mosquitoes. Wind has probably kept them at bay. Solar: Great when not too cloudy.
Host: They are super.
Rig size: Large rigs can fit in many spots. Sites: See my map in my attached pictures: Circled sites B2 - 20 back right up to the dunes. C1 -21 have a broader view of the beautiful dunes with 5 - 21 in this group a bit larger sites. B 22 and24 are getting closer to the dunes. I like all these sites in comparison to the others. However, I appreciate being backed right up to the dunes. Site B4 is the best site, in my opinion. Rig size is limited for this site. It’s not deep, Punic table is near campground road, but isolated from B2 on the picnic side by a dune . B2 is a good site. Picnic area is private from adjacent site, but not from vehicles driving by.

Obx Campground is located on Collington Island right behind Kitty Hawk, in the outer banks. It is clean, simple, and convenient to Nags Head, Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills. The roadways are gravel and the sites are back in gravel with a picnic table and full hookups. There are 2 ponds and another place with water access on the property. You will need to drive to public access areas to get to the beach on the other side of town. There is a market on the drive to the camp ground that has fresh seafood and fish that is very good! We bought fish to cook while we were there and also more to take home. The sites are large and there is plenty of room for slide outs and the two vehicles you are permitted to have on site. This is a great place for families and not a place you will find a bunch of party animals. We found OBX Campground convenient for visiting the Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills area.

OBX: (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good (70 yr olds in 17’ trailer). Overall Rating: The water view sites are especially nice. 5 Usage during visit: 1/2 full Site Privacy: Open grass park well kept Site Spacing: Not packed in. Decent for private cg Site surface: Gravel Campground Noise: Pretty quiet when I drive through Road Noise: At a dead end road. Through Traffic in campground: No reason for any Electric Hookup: Yes Sewer Hookup: Yes Potable Water Available: At site Bathroom: Yes Showers: Yrs Pull Throughs: No Cell Service (AT&T): 2 bars. Setting: Along coastal waterway. Weather: 50s Bugs: None this time of year Solar: Plenty when sunny Host: Yes Rig size: Large rigs in abundance Sites: There are two areas. The area near the water is a good location. Water sites, 10 - 14, look splendid. Makes up for lack of privacy

We camped at Oregon Inlet from April 11-April 17, 2022. We stayed in loop B, site 6, which is dune-side. The dune-side sites do not have electricity or water hookups, but are much better for privacy and location. The sites that have electric are on the grassy area next to the highway, and the road noise is an issue if you have a soft-sided camper. The road noise was not audible from our dune side location.

April was windy, so we didn't use the awning on our pop-up. There is no shade at this campground, so consider bringing something for shade if camping here in the summer months. There was a grill and a picnic table at our site, but campfires are not allowed.

The bathrooms have flushing toilets and sinks. There are "warm" showers that operate from a pull-ring system. The water is cold on the initial pull but does warm up to lukewarm/slightly warm. 

There is no location to wash dishes at all at the campground. There is no dishwashing station or grey water dumping station. We didn't realize this when we went, so we ended up wiping everything out with a lot of paper towels and a little rinse of water. 

The location on Nag's Head was perfect, almost at the mid-point of the outer banks. It was very convenient to reach Kitty Hawk, Nag's Head village, and even Cape Hatteras from the campground.

Great campground if you want to be on the beach at the Outer Banks. 4 stars rather than 5 because of road noise and cars on the beach which I personally do not like. We have a camper van, did not use hook ups. It’s a wide open campground close to the road so there’s car noise during the day but not so much after dark. Bathrooms are clean. Showers are separate—basically an outdoor shower building. It’s a short walk through the sand dunes to the beach—beware of lots of vehicles lining up to fish. When we were there, it was very windy which is not good for sitting on the beach but it kept the insects away. It’s a quick drive to restaurants, shopping, lighthouses, Jockey Ridge (go for the sunset!) We chose this campground for its proximity (half hour) to the Alligator River Wildlife Refuge which is fantastic for kayaking and bear spotting.
