Princess Ann — Lumber River State Park, near Orrum, North Carolina, is a charming campground that invites you to immerse yourself in nature. With its picturesque setting right on the Lumber River, it’s a fantastic base for camping, hiking, and kayaking.

The campground features designated sites that allow for a cozy camping experience. Visitors have enjoyed the peacefulness of the area, with one camper noting, “We had the park COMPLETELY to ourselves.” Each site comes with its own trash can, and a ranger makes the rounds to keep things tidy. While there are vault toilets nearby, a more substantial restroom facility is just a short walk away.

For those who love the water, the river is perfect for a refreshing swim after a hot day, though the bottom can be a bit squishy. Fishing and small watercraft activities are also popular here. Campers have shared that the night sky is stunning, making it a great spot for stargazing, but be prepared for some lively owls that might keep you company at night.

If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with a touch of adventure, Princess Ann is a great choice. Whether you’re lounging by the river or exploring the nearby trails, you’ll find plenty to enjoy in this lovely corner of North Carolina.

Lovely little campground on the river

We used this campground as a stopping point after a trip to Fantasy Lake Water Park. It's secluded, small, cute, and located right on the Lumber River.

Our particular site, PA 7, is one of two right on the river's edge, across from the Naked Landing trail. Sites 7 & 8 would be perfect for two families to camp together, because they'd have the whole trail area to themselves. These sites have a bit of hike-in required, in that you can't drive up to them (see my uploaded photo of where the parking lot is in relation to the sites).

There is a vault toilet near the parking lot ("that's gonna be a no from me, dog") but an actual restroom facility across the parking lot.

Each of the sites has its own trash can, and a ranger comes by in the morning to empty it.

The river is nice to swim in after a hot summer's day, although the bottom is quite squishy. It's a good area to fish or use small watercraft.

We slept in hammocks and were awoken at dawn by a cacophony of juvenile barred owls directly above us.

Lovely small campground

Had a lovely stay here. The sites were kind of course together, but it turned out just fine. You can see tons of stars here at night, it is amazing! It's lovely to sit by the water and look at the night sky. Also, there's a lot of owls here at night. If you are a light sleeper you may want to consider ear plugs. It's lovely, but the owls do get kind of rowdy at points making a racket. There bath house was a decent walk, but nothing ridiculous.
