CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Tranter's Creek Resort, near Washington, North Carolina, is a campground that caters to a variety of camping styles, from tents to RVs and even cabins. It’s a spot where you can kick back and enjoy the outdoors, though it has a bit of a trailer park vibe with many permanent sites.

The campground boasts clean facilities, including well-maintained bathrooms and showers, which visitors appreciate. There's also a sparkling pool that some have called one of the cleanest they've ever seen, making it a great place to cool off after a day of activities. Fishing is a popular pastime here, with a pier available for anglers, though you’ll need your own bait and fishing license.

Located just a short drive from Greenville, this place is perfect for those visiting the area for events or looking to enjoy some time by the water. While it may not have a ton of amenities like mini-golf or extensive recreational options, the friendly staff and clean environment make it a solid choice for a relaxing getaway. Just remember to keep an eye on your speed; the golf cart patrol is always watching!

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.
