Tranter's Creek Resort

Tranter's Creek Resort operates year-round along the waterfront in Washington, North Carolina, accommodating RVs up to 100 feet with full hookups alongside tent sites that include electrical connections. The campground draws a mix of long-term residents and fishing enthusiasts who use the on-site pier and fish cleaning station. Sites sit directly beside the river, with boat access available for those arriving by water.

The facility maintains clean restrooms and shower houses, with a laundromat on-site for extended stays. A swimming pool provides an alternative to river activities during warmer months. Cannon W. notes the campground has "one of the cleanest pools I have ever been in" along with "very well kept bathroom facilities." The campground store operates with limited hours, and fishing licenses are required for pier use, though bait is not sold on-site.

Management enforces a strict 7.5 mph speed limit throughout the property. The atmosphere leans toward a permanent resident community rather than a transient camping experience, with many sites occupied by seasonal or long-term RVs. Located about 20-30 minutes from Greenville, the resort serves as a convenient base for regional visits.

Campers seeking a more traditional camping atmosphere might consider Twin Lakes Resort, located southeast of the area.

Visitors often highlighted the clean facilities and well-maintained grounds, with particularly clean pools and excellent shower facilities. Some guests noted the campground feels more like a permanent RV community than a natural setting.

It’s a trailer park…mostly

Just being honest- I’ve been over-landing/camping all around NC and this did not feel like nature. It feels like a parking lot with a pool. Please Understand you will be parked in between huge trailers/RVs that rent that space permanently and are slightly territorial. Considering not spending night. AND Don’t go over 7.5 mph the golf cart police will scold you. Pros- It’s clean and quiet and hookups work.

One of the cleanest pools I have ever laid eyes on.

Tent sites with electrical hook ups right beside the river. There is a fish cleaning sink and a pier to fish from also. Small cabins are for rent here as well. This facility has one of the cleanest pools I have ever been in. Very well kept bathroom facilities with a laundromat as well. Very friendly staff and guests here as well.

Only been here one time

I have only visited this campground one time & I did not stay the night! There is lots of space to walk and play, ride bikes, etc. There is a really nice pool with a store up front and they have cabins from what I remember. I would go back again IF I didn’t already live in the surrounding area lol

Fishing Oriented

We stayed at Tranters Creek while we visited Greenville NC for a graduation. The campground was 20-30 minutes from the college so it was an ideal place to stay. There seems to be a lot of permanent type campers set up there and most of the campers seem to be there to fish. The campground itself was clean. The bathrooms were also clean and stocked. Since we were there in early May there wasn't a lot going on but we did stop by the campground yard sale. Overall there doesn't seem to be much to do unless you fish. There is a pier but they don't sell bait at the campground store and you must have a fishing license.

OH! Make sure you adhere to the speed limit!

Great Experience

We failed to call before closing! Took a chance and stopped anyway. No answer at the after hours phone number! A Huge Thank You To Paul & Linda who were out on their golf cart and stopped, made a call, let us in and showed us where to park. A very nice park, well maintained, all the sites were clean and had excellent shower facilities.
