    Nick’s Nook Family Campground

    Small quiet Campground A++

    Small quiet campground that has some adorable amenities. Pet and child friendly. Nick (the owner) is super helpful and they even have item you may have forgotten they will lend out. Firewood is provided. We stayed I. Their little cabin on a whim. Cozy but small. AC and heat both worked well. Their camp store has very affordable gifts and some supplies one might need. We came to this area to try some unique restaurants. The cabin allowed us to stay and try all of them. We went to the Mad Boar on Friday night for some amazing prime rib and unique appetizer. We went to The Country Squire and enjoyed a wine tasting before a dreamy colonial meal. The atmosphere here was so realistic. They even have an inn. And of course we had to go to the Duplin Winery. Next time we will bring the kids to enjoy the craft hour and playground.

    Lovely place to camp!

    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.

    Cliffs of the Neuse State Park Campground

    Small, quiet and relaxed among the pines

    Our stay in Site #4 on February 25 in our 20' Mode LT was quiet and restful.  The park has an interesting geomorphology, sitting atop cliffs overlooking the river below, and there are miles of hiking trails.  The Campground Host was particularly helpful, checking us in when we arrived early.  Unlike many  state parks they offer their Senior Discount to out-of-state campers.  The campground is very clean and sites are very large with gravel pads, but only 14 sites have hook-ups.  Our stay was marred by heavy fire smoke from campfires penetrating our van.  The distance from I-95 adds an extra hour to your travel if you are just planning a one-nite stopover, so we might not make the trek again.

    Four Oaks Lodging & RV Resort

    Non-Descript Roadside RV Parking Lot

    If you find yourself passing up or down the I-95 corridor and simply need a patch of land to layover for the night and you’ve got one of those incredibly large mobile homes on wheels, then this non-descript RV location near Four Oaks (look for the cross-roads of where Hwy 301 intersects Hwy 701(exit 90 on I-95) may just be the perfect spot for you. But to be perfectly clear, Four Oaks is more of a layover than a destination - I would really only consider this on the way to somewhere else where I am getting in late and leaving early. 

    With a couple dozen or so RV parking lanes for your parking pleasure, all of the sites come equipped with the typical 20 / 30 / 50 amp electrical hook-ups, waste disposal and water connections. There’s the standard picnic table, fire ring / BBQ, garbage receptacles, propane refilling stations, covered pavilions and even a community BBQ. The hosts are somewhat grumpy and offer pricing by the night, week and month. Overall, the community is inviting and friendly and there were a few that invited us over to chat with them and share a beer. While there’s not a ton of amenities to pick and choose from, this location does come with BBQ, doggie park, free WiFi & high-speed internet, store and vending machines. Near this RV parking lot, you do have access to Wilmington, Emerald Isle and lovely (but crowded) Myrtle Beach. One of the best perks though is that this campground serves up a nice continental breakfast on the weekends for campground guests, plus there's also free ice and cable for any overnight guests. 

    Insider’s tip? Here's a few: (1) Take advantage of the close proximity to 30 acre Tucker Lake (conveniently located where Interstate 40 intersects 95), where some decent fishing can be had – we caught (and released) several smallmouth bass, brook trout and black bullheads. Here, you’ll find white sandy beaches, paddle boats, kayaks and canoes for rent, rope swings, 165 foot waterslide for the kids to jump into the water and scattered open pavilions with BBQ’s and grills. There’s also a handful of ill-maintained trails to hike on; (2) If you'd like to hit the links then nearby Johnston County Country Club has some really nice fairways that you'll want to explore; (3) Should you grow weary of trying to conjure up that next meal from the depths of your onboard mini-fridge and want to try out some local fare, then head on over to nearby JP's Country BBQ where they serve up smoked chicken, ribs as well as mac-n-cheese along with some good 'ol Southern cole slaw; (4) Should you find yourself in need of anything there's Ronnie's Country Store just down the road (you wouldn't even need to drive there from Four Oaks), where you can get basic groceries, ice and just about anything for your journey; (5) My favorite site on the property is #8 or #10 as they are furthest from the nearby highway and offer decent shade; and (6) If you come bearing kayak or canoe and are looking for a nice wet piece of paradise to launch into, then check out Holts Lake located just due north of this campground where there's also some pretty decent fishing to be had. 

    Happy Camping!

    1st camping trip

    My husband and I recently purchased a small RV and decided to do a short trip close to home. This campground is amazing. Beautiful views fishing is good and the hosts are very nice and informative. Will be returning to this gem of a campground!

    Great place to stay, safe location, and has a family atmosphere.

    Great place to stay, safe location, and has a family atmosphere.  Space was large and I was able to pull through without having to de-attach my car trailer.

    Relaxing stay!

    First time camping at cliffs of the neuse and it was great. They sell firewood for $7 (cash only at the camp store) and the park staff was friendly. Our spot was shaded by the trees and even had a little path to the bathroom in the brush. We were surprised by two kittens who cautiously watched us from the bushes. Bathrooms were also very clean. Cleanest I might have ever seen at a camp.

    Small but very relaxing

    Extremely nice campground with 4 RV sites(50 Amp) and water service. Dump station is easy access upon arrival or departure. Easy entrance and exit from main highway to site area. Trees are well maintained to prevent brushing RV upon entrance and exit. Accommodates easy access to 2 pull through and 2 back in camp sites. Each site has 12x12 concrete pads to restrict tracking sand and/or dirt into RV unit. Daily trash service at sites. Rest rooms well kept, clean with private single shower. Washer and dryer service located at bath house and close to site area for a reasonable price. Wi-Fi service available and ready. Wonderful remote quite area for total relaxation. Tent area behind RV sites but separated from RV location. Area lit at night but not to the extreme to bother camping. Kayaks available to enjoy the small river behind RV& Tent area. Easy access via wooden dock for boarding or unloading kayaks. Owner is extremely accommodating and offers fresh eggs and black angus beef at responsible rates.

    Rude Camphost

    The camp host was extremely rude. When I was pulling into the campsite, driving the posted speed limit, he made a motion for to slow down. I did.

    When I approached his campsite to secure my campsite, he approached my vehicle before I had a chance to get out. I did. He told I was driving too fast. I said I was driving the posted limit and did slow down regardless. He said the same thing repeatedly. I told him I would not be staying which seemed to upset him more. He made mention that he was assistant director of something and he was going to give my tabs numbers to the police in case I came back to do "something." 

    In all of my years of camping in many states, I have never been treated or talk to so disrespectfully. Beware.

    Quiet, clean campground on the river

    Stayed here in February.  Was nice and quiet, especially the far away camp sites.  All sites seemed pretty level.  One note is that they only accept cash for payment.

    Great for long term!

    We stayed for several months while waiting for a house to be built...in freeeezing cold weather!  We were impressed that the water lines are heated, so we didn't have to disconnect our water for the unusually cold 2 degree weather. (I believe the campground used to be an KOA)  Really nice little laundry room and dog park.  Everyone was very friendly..we had a nice large pull through site that allowed enough room for our truck and a car.  Even though was right on 95, didn't really notice the traffic noise.  We weren't there in warm enough weather for the pool, but it looked nice!  They did a great job of snow removal as well.  Very clean campground!

    Peaceful Camping

    We really enjoyed how peaceful this campground is and everyone was friendly. The spots are a really nice size and the park has sweet donkeys and a duck pond to visit. The location is close to downtown Wilson that has a small town charm. Visit the Whirligig park that’s special to this location.

    Quick stopover

    Nice little campground with amenities. Staff was very efficient and fast during check-in. Sites were spacious enough for a quick stopover.

    More yearly/monthly than weekly/daily

    This is a decent place but it is for sure mostly for more permanent people. A lot of people have complete build irons and have turned their trailers into non-movable stable units.

    Since it's mostly geared towards people staying long term there are a lot of short-term facilities like bath houses laundry and things like that.

    I would not recommend to come here unless you're planning to stay for a minimum of 2 to 3 months.

    nice enough / $10 for tent camping

    I'm currently in the primitive camping area in a tent next to my vehicle. I have not seen any signs about cost or payment, but I got in late last night, around 10pm on Saturday night in mid-October. The RV sites looked pretty full, but there was plenty of space in this primitive area which is next to the RV sites. I did not see any numbers or designated parking spaces, so I just sort of guessed. So far, no issues.

    Update: In the morning, a man in a golf cart drives around. He collected $10 from me and gave me the code for the bathrooms/showers. The showers are nicer than expected, but not fancy.

    There are some endangered birds in cages outside the showers. Check out the owl and the hawk!
