Welcome to Dogwood Family Campground
We are a small family owned campground in Newport, NC, open year round, family & pet friendly, quiet and "Dark Sky Friendly" for enjoying all the beautiful stars in the night sky. Enjoy being tucked away beside the Croatan Forest and only a short drive (30 minutes) away from all the Crystal Coast beaches, (40 - 45 minutes) Historical New Bern & Beaufort and (8 minutes from) MCAS Cherry Point many other local attractions.
We have 52 FHU sites with 9 extra long pull thru sites, 6 sites that back-up to the pond for extra closeness to cast a fishing line. The fish love to be fed in the mornings and evenings.

Great memories we will be back for sure Denise B. - FB review - What a great experience here! Lisa and Shawn are amazing.

Luis L. - Google 5 star review -
We stayed there for a long weekend. The owners are very nice and friendly. The campground is well maintained. The sites are also level which is a big plus. There are also walking trails in the wooded area in the back of the campground which are great for walking the dogs. The location is good for exploring nearby towns like Swansboro, Morehead, Emerald Isle, etc. We will definitely will be back soon. Denise S. - Google 5 star review - The owners Lisa and Shawn have been wonderful. Dogwood campground is a great place to be. They are so friendly and accommodating. Very peaceful and beautiful out in the country. Thank you for making us feel so welcome. 5th Wheel Dreaming - FB review - Lisa and Shaun are very nice folks. Camp ground is nice and peaceful. They make sure that anything you need they get to you, weather you need/want a picnic table or a fire ring. Heck I even watched them build a picnic table in the rain yesterday,lol. Your about 2 miles from a grocery store and Domino’s pizza, so food stuff is not a problem either. So far great place and wonderful folks. |
