Best Glamping near Newport, NC

Goose Creek State Park Campground and White Oak Shores Camping & RV Resort house upscale glamping accommodations near Newport, North Carolina. The park's glamping options include climate-controlled units with comfortable beds and electricity, while White Oak Shores features luxury yurts with private decks overlooking the water. "The cabins are new and clean, with AC/heat and electricity and a nice outdoor setup with a grill and fire pit aside each one," noted one visitor about Goose Creek's accommodations. Both locations provide amenities beyond traditional camping, including heated bathhouses, picnic areas, and fire rings. The glamping units are strategically positioned to maximize privacy while maintaining access to resort-style facilities.

Hiking trails equipped with boardwalks lead through marsh and swampy areas at Goose Creek State Park, where interpretive signs display information about local wildlife. Water activities dominate the experience at these glamping resorts, with kayak rentals available and private docks for launching personal watercraft. According to a camper, "From the water, you can paddle far enough back where the real world will eventually disappear and it will be just you and nature." Farm-to-table experiences enhance stays at Wallace Meadows Farm, where glampers can purchase fresh eggs and black angus beef directly from the property. Most glamping accommodations remain open year-round, though reservations are recommended several weeks in advance, especially for the waterfront units that offer sunset views over the Pamlico River.

    Goose Creek State Park Campground

    Nice spot in eastern NC

    Booked a tent site and later a cabin as well since we were unsure about the weather. The tent sites were nicely situated and far apart from each other. The vault toilet was very clean. The site is peaceful and since the weather was pretty bad, it was quiet and only a few sites were occupied. 

    The cabins are new and clean, with AC/heat and electricity and a nice outdoor setup with a grill and fire pit aside each one. They are located in the cleared RV park, not the woods, so don't expect to feel like you are staying in nature if you book a cabin. The shower facilities are very nice too. Overall, cabins are a great option if the weather is bad or you don't want to stay in a tent. 

    Plan for bugs - ticks and mosquitoes are a given in the summer. Also, the swimming beach is closed as of May 2020.

    Campsite at Wallace Meadows Farm / RV site at Wallace Meadows Farm

    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.

    Oyster Point Campground

    Perfect little camping spot!

    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.

    Oyster Point Campground

    Peaceful and remote

    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.

    Goose Creek State Park Campground

    Back to my roots

    I have a personal pull to Goose Creek State Park as it was once my family’s land going back generations and generations. My great-grandfather, grandfather, and father carved out the trails used for hiking today and the road to the campground its self was made by my dad and his friends. The state bought the land in the 70’s and it became our state park. It makes me proud to share a part of my family history with the rest of the world.

    Even without the personal connection I feel when I visit GCSP, it’s such a beautiful place to be during anytime of the year. Hiking trails equipped with boardwalks lead through the marsh and swampy areas while sporadic signs display pictures and information about the wildlife you are likely to see. The primitive campground has more than 10 sites, with the farthest sights sitting on the edge of the Pamlico River. It truly is an awesome sight to take in at sunset and sunrise. Bath houses with showers, hot water, and toilets are available. There are two group sites and, recently added, several rv sites and about 5-6 small cabins. I have not stayed in the cabins yet. They seem to be fairly popular so reservations should be made at least a couple of weeks in advanced. There heat and AC but no bathrooms or kitchen area inside the cabin. I believe there are two sets of twin beds and a full bed but you have to bring your own linens. There is also a very nice bathhouse available for cabin renters. The only downside to the cabins and RV sites is there is no shade. The sites are toward the front of the park, and, perhaps because of the recent construction, there is are no trees, woods, or shade around. As a personal preference, I want to be IN THE WOODS when I camp so the aspect of being out in the open is not as exciting as tent camping. That being said, the cabins are adorable and have a fire ring, picnic table, and everything you need to enjoy a night of camping.

    Oyster Point Campground

    Water Views and Spacious Sites

    Oyster Point: Great sites. Sites w water view are best.
    (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good

    (70 yr olds in 17’ trailer with a desire for a campsite that has at least some visual privacy offered - after the trailer is in the spot.)

    Overall Rating: 4 Price 2023: $ 5 w interagency pass Usage during visit: Light Site Privacy: Underbrush has been trimmed it looks like. So, there is not as much privacy between sites. Site Spacing: Very wide sites .
    Site surface: Gravel Reservations: Yes Campground Noise: Quiet during our stay.
    Road Noise: Secluded. No public roads nearby. Through Traffic in campground: No Electric Hookup: No Sewer Hookup: No Dump Station: No Potable Water Available: Yes. One or two spigots. Generators:Allowed Bathroom: Pit toilet is clean and well stocked. Showers: No Pull Throughs: Site 13 is a pull through Cell Service (AT&T): 2 - 4 bars Setting: Pine forest with a more of Newport River Weather: 72 fall day high. Bugs: No mosquitoes. Must be gone for the year Solar: Maybe too forested in some spots. In site # 5 at 9:00 AM we had some solar charge happening Host: Tonia is a delightful host Rig size: Our site would fit a large rig. Sites: I took pictures of the sites on the shore side of the campground. They are the best, but all sites here I would be happy with. Sites #9 and #11 have pathways to a very small private beach. Site 1 is close to a pit toilet. Maybe a smell issue now and then.
