Whispering Pines Campground

Fishing, poolside lounging, and day trips to the North Carolina coast make up the rhythm of a stay at Whispering Pines Campground, an Encore RV Resort situated in forested terrain near Newport. The campground sits a short drive from Atlantic Beach, Fort Macon, and Pine Knoll Shores, giving RV travelers a base for exploring the Crystal Coast without sacrificing full hookups. Sites accommodate rigs up to 90 feet and include electric, water, and sewer connections, and the bathhouse and laundry facilities draw consistent praise from reviewers for their cleanliness.

Site quality varies considerably depending on your length of stay. Seasonal and year-round residents occupy the more desirable spots, while short-term visitors are assigned to full-sun sites, some of which are on uneven gravel and difficult to level. Shade is essentially absent for transient guests, which matters in summer when temperatures climb. Feral cats roam the property, and ant activity has been a recurring issue at ground level. Cell service receives mixed marks, and while cable hookups are included, Wi-Fi requires an additional fee.

Amenities include a pool, a dog park, a dump station, and a small catch-and-release fishing pond stocked with bass. The campground tends to run quiet, and Robert M. notes the staff as "super staff, very clean and pet friendly." Military discounts are available. Campers who want dispersed alternatives nearby can consider Croatan NF Dispersed off FR 128 (Millis Road) or browse camping near Newport for a fuller picture of what the area has available. Those who can plan ahead and secure a reservation will get the most out of what this campground has to offer.

Many campers appreciated the clean facilities, particularly bathhouses and pool areas. Common feedback included concerns about uneven gravel sites and poor shade for short-term visitors. Some reported staff communication issues.

Mixed emotions

Very small place that’s quiet and not a lot going on.

Pros: good for older people as it is super quiet and nothing to look forward to outside the campsite.

Cons: the assigned lot we were give was occupied by someone else so we set up on a random spot until morning to figure out what to do as we had drove a hour and half. The office has no communication skill whatsoever and every one seems lost.

Nice Campground

Nice campground well-kept pool, and laundry facility. The playground closed due to COVID but has a dog park and fishing ponds with bass. The biggest downfall to this facility is that the nice campsites are only reserved for seasonal or year-round campers. Anyone there for days - weeks stay get a full-sun site which some can be pretty small ours was a decent size. It's also overrun by feral cats so if you're allergic, bring meds. They offer cable, and you can pay for WiFi.

Nice campground

This is a clean campground. Nothing fancy. It is close to beaches and the intercoastal waterway.

Pros: clean bathhouse and laundry house. Nice pool. Small Catch and release pond for fishing. Military discount.

Cons: Un-level gravel camper parking areas made it hard to get our camper level.

Ant piles everywhere and ants all over our chairs and outdoor rugs. Dogs couldn’t get a spot without ants.

No shade trees for short stay guests. This is a deal breaker for us, as it’s hot as hell here in the summer time.

No Wifi. Cable hook up wouldn’t work for us.

Alot of full timers, and residents here. And no access to the waterway as advertised.

Great Location

Just am few miles from Atlantic Beach, Fort Macon, and Pine Knoll Shores. Free cable, full hook up, super staff, very clean and pet friendly. Wonderfully relaxing. Updated and very clean bath house and laundry.
