The campground, located near White Oak River and at the edge of a salt marsh,
is a single loop with a connecting crossover road. Loblolly pine and Live oaks
are widely scattered throughout. It is partially surrounded by a dense vegetation
of marsh woodland. A level grass understory provides ample space for tents and
field games. During the summer be prepared for some mosquitoes, ticks, and
chiggers. The campground is 4 miles from some pleasant, publicly accessible
Atlantic Ocean beaches. It is also within 3 miles of the Intracoastal Waterway
and is an exceptional base camp for canoeing. Each camp site has a lantern pole.
All in all, this is a great campground for bird watching, hiking, fishing, ocean
beaches, canoeing, shopping, and restaurants - lots to see and do or just relax.

STATE: North Carolina
REGION: Southern
RANGER DISTRICT: Croatan
NEAREST CITY/TOWN: Havelock
RESERVATIONS: No
DIRECTIONS:
From Havelock, NC, take US Rt. 70 north 3.2 miles to Neuse River
Recreation Area sign (Flanners Beach Rd./State Rt. 1107). Turn
right after sign onto Flanners Beach Rd. and go 1.6 miles to campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 20 ft.
The campground is a single loop in a stand of mature Loblolly pines and
various hardwoods next to the Neuse River. Some camp site have a view
of the River and the far shoreline. The sites tend to be close together
which makes it nice for group or family gatherings. The campground is
far enough away from Cherry Point US Naval Reservation and US Rt. 70
making noise from either of these two places minimal. This is a quiet
campground with heavy understory providing good privacy for some camp
sites. Although on the Neuse River, except for swimming, the wide range
of water sports offered by the river must be accessed elsewhere - see
Water Sports comments.
