      Whippoorwill Campground and Arena is any Equestrian home away from home! Whippoorwill Campground and Whippoorwill Arena are located in the heart of Eastern North Carolina, on the county line of Onslow County and Duplin County. Our facility offers everything in one location! Whippoorwill Campground has miles of trails specially maintained for equestrians.

      Our trails have been built in a fashion that you can make it a short 45-minute ride or hours long. Due to our location, our trails are soft and sandy and most horses do not require shoes to enjoy our trails. Enjoy a nice trail ride around our fishing pond and then let your horse take a dip in our pond that was created with our mounts in mind!

      Our facility is also perfect for those that have family members that may not be into riding and enjoy camping and fishing. Whippoorwill Campground offers a huge parking area, easy-to-access water, and public bathrooms. If you are camping we offer Electric and water hookups, or full hookups with sewer.

      Our facility is perfect for many events ranging from Horse shows, Gaming Shows, Fun Shows, Clinics, Tack Swaps, and Renaissance Fairs to weddings, reunions, 4-H & Scout Campouts, banquets and so much more!

      Whipoorwill Campground

      Welcoming / Outdoors

      Owners that we spoke with to reserve our area and take care of us was just the southern hospitality you always hear about. Super nice and welcoming and always has a smile on their face. The owners live on the property in the house, which I thought was awesome in case we needed anything. Everyone else that either drives by or lives by us always waving and stopping for conversations, just as polite as can be.

      Was told this land is approximately 400 acres of wooded and fielded areas housing multiple horses and horse pastures. They have a horse arena here that holds events weekly. Love the horse atmosphere and watching them do their thing from day to day. Plenty of paths and areas to walk around and stretch your legs, along side multiple ponds with catch and release only fishing. Well off the main road as well so you hardly hear any traffic.
