Best Campgrounds near Greenville, NC

Campgrounds near Greenville, North Carolina provide a range of accommodations along the waterways and rural landscapes of eastern North Carolina. Whispering Oaks RV Resort and Tranter's Creek Resort are popular options within a 20-30 minute drive from Greenville, offering full hookup sites for RVs and cabins. Several facilities in the region support both tent and RV camping, with Goose Creek State Park Campground and Twin Lakes Resort providing waterfront access about 30-40 minutes from the city center.

Access roads throughout the region are generally well-maintained and suitable for most vehicles. "This facility has one of the cleanest pools I have ever been in. Very well kept bathroom facilities with a laundromat as well," noted one visitor describing Tranter's Creek Resort. Most campgrounds in the area remain open year-round, with eastern North Carolina's mild winters allowing for comfortable camping in all seasons. Summer humidity can be significant, with temperatures regularly reaching the high 80s to 90s from June through August. Reservations are strongly recommended during weekend periods and throughout the summer season, particularly for waterfront sites which tend to fill quickly.

Developed campgrounds in the Greenville area frequently feature fishing opportunities, with several properties offering stocked ponds or river access. Twin Lakes Resort provides access to small lakes and canals that eventually connect to the bay and Outer Banks. Tent campers will find dedicated sites at several facilities, though the region primarily caters to RV camping with full hookups. According to one camper, "There are miles of walking trails around the farms and through the on-site forests" at Farm Country Campground. Facilities typically include showers, restrooms, and basic amenities, with several campgrounds offering swimming pools as relief from summer heat. Many campgrounds feature a mix of short-term sites and seasonal or permanent residents, creating established communities within the camping areas.

    New Bern KOA Holiday

    Our first trip in the camper

    Our first trip in our new to us camper and found the campground very nice. The bathhouses were the cleanest and best equipped. Some shade. Nice dog park. Plenty of amenities.

    Magnolia Lane Campground

    Overpriced and bath house heavily molded.

    I contacted the campsite via phone. They said there was two spots available for my rig. The monthly rate quoted was $895. I told the office that I was going to drive up the following morning to check the site and if I liked it, I would go ahead and rent it. The manager said OK. I explained I would come back and get my rig if it was acceptable. She told me to call her once. I looked at the site and we could complete the transaction when she came over to the site from the office.

    I drove an hour from my current site to look at that site. The secluded campground only had one bar on Verizon. It was also small. I called two separate numbers and texted. I waited on site for roughly 30 minutes with no callback.
    While I was looking at the campground, I went to the bathhouse. All three bathrooms were covered with suspect, microbial growth and had a strong mold smell. I can’t say for certain without testing it, but if it looks and smells like a duck, it’s probably a duck. People with breathing issues or allergies to this problem would have a bad day in these bathrooms.

    I had to contact the office the following day around 9:50 AM. They acted like they didn’t care about me driving up for nothing. To add insult to injury, the manager openly admitted they had a mold problem in all the bathrooms at the bathhouse. They were going to deal with it this coming winter.

    So let me get this straight. You were charging almost $900 a month to campers with a bad mold, problem admitted by the office. Is there a problem with this picture? This is not slander. This is what transpired. I turned down the site.

    BE CAUTIOUS!

    Enfield - Rocky Mount KOA

    A great getaway

    This is a great spot to stop, I knew nothing about it ahead of time I picked it as a midway point between destinations. I stayed in one of the cabins on site and it was simple, but comfortable. There was one bed (either a queen or maybe a full) and a roll-away underneath, table with four chairs, mini refrigerator, Keurig, window AC unit and ceiling fan/light. There was also a porch bench, picnic table and a fire pit.

    I arrived after hours but checking in was a breeze and all paperwork was very clear.

    Bathrooms are dated, but well maintained and clean.

    I have the same cabin booked for my return trip and am really looking forward to coming back!

    Goose Creek State Park Campground

    A nice find

    We camped on the primitive side. Hardly anyone here. We took spot 4. Across from the clean pit toilet. They do have water. The area for rvs were packed and it wasn’t as appealing as the primitive. Follow the signs to primitive tent camping. Is a loop and the closer you get to the loop the more bugs cause of the water. On our walk with the dogs seen deer and a raccoon visited us during the night. Internet is spotty. Turn your cellular data on.

    Flanners Beach Campground

    Nice forest trails and beach

    Campground is good. Sites are a bit close but generally acceptable for the typical camper. Good showers and toilet, water and garbage available. Forest trail nearby is an intermediate full loop trail (1-1.5 hrs). Beach walking distance. Nice staff. Recommend.

    Cabin Lake County Park

    Nice campground but …

    The campground is perfect for a family or if you’re older and in an RV. Lots to do. It’s a lake based CG so you can swim, kayak, hike around the lake, but especially fishing - that’s the main draw. Good shower/toilet facilities, water electric and all that RV stuff. If you’re an adventurous typically primitive camper (like me), it’s not for you. You’ll be near lots of other campers (mostly families from my brief experience) so not great on privacy. Location is good, 15 min fr Beulaville. Nice staff. I recommend if you want an easy camping experience. $25-40 night depending on how you camp.

    Dixon Landing RV Resort

    Great area, quiet and very nice owners and campers

    Just far enough away from the noise but close enough to be convenient to everything. Groceries and restaurants, gas and history all within a short drive. Campground is so nice, fish jumping, quiet and relaxing. On the water so you can put your kayaks in and paddle the creek. Very clean bathrooms with showers ice and propane and firewood available. Sites are a good size and easy to get the trailer level.
