Very clean, nice sites, very close to anything you could need. 2 miles from the beach but there is a small beach next to the marina on the river. Great marked trails for hiking or running!

Anne K.ScoutMagnolia Lane Campground
We absolutely loved Magnolia Lane Campground! It’s a small, quiet, and exceptionally clean campground that’s perfect for a relaxing getaway. The private bathhouse facilities are amazing and definitely a standout feature! There’s also a beautiful stocked fishing pond with paddle boats and canoes to enjoy. It’s conveniently located close to New Bern while still offering a peaceful, laid-back atmosphere. Such a hidden gem! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

Cabin Lake County Park
Cabin Lake is a 4/5
Small camp well kept trail around the lake with multiple docks. Sites some are small van size only (#8)others can accommodate 20-30 foot rigs. Bathhouses close could use a paint job and a little better cleaning but acceptable

Peaceful and relaxing
Me and my family love camping, we try to go 15 to 20 times a year, we have been patronizing a very reputable campground for the last 15 years, due to management issues, we decided to seek out other campgrounds. We found magnolia lane and tried it for one weekend. Fell in love with it. Very peaceful. Very friendly and everything in the campground is what met our standards, we have now made magnolia Lanes are permanent campsite. We try to come here every chance we get! We enjoy the natural scenery, swim in the lake, and enjoy the friendly atmosphere of campers and management. We don't slander this campground due to the extent of they are a family-owned campground. They are small but they do everything they possibly can to make you feel at home. The rates are amazing compared to other campgrounds, the only thing that I wish for is that I was retired and can come every single weekend. Other than that, there's nothing else I could ask for and everything is spot on. Thank you magnolia campgrounds for what you do for us as a family, and what you put forth to make us feel at home!

No longer a campsite, don't book
My first experience with Dyrt. Did instant book. Day before arrival I still had not received full details. I emailed the contact info listed. Day of I called the contact phone number to get check in time, site number, etc. He answered (Rich). Very nice man. Said they sold the farm over a year ago. There was no campsite. I have been emailing and messaging Dyrt with no response regarding a refund. Do not instant book.

Definitely off the beaten path
So the spot for the actual coordinates, you will need a 4x4 to get to. I do so it was no problem getting there. The vegetation on the trail is pretty tall so take your time and there are about 5 muddy spots you will go through apparently even when it is dry everywhere else. The “recreation area” is a joke. It’s pretty much completely overgrown except a spot just big enough to drop your boat in. Overall for those of us that like out of the way places it’s pretty good here though. I’m not sure if you can camp in the rec area. I don’t see any signs but there’s a boat ramp here and usually you can’t camp next to those. Oh and my video is of me coming back out of the woods to the rec area. The road getting to there is actually gravel.

Quiet Campgound
Clean and well-maintained. It has a small lake with a swimming beach and some nice walking trails. Great for the crowd that is interested in the more natural style of camping as opposed to places like KOA.
