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. Our pond is stocked with Catfish, Bass and Bream. Enjoy the new water fountain and lights at night, it is so relaxing.

FAQ'S -
- Are you open year round? YES, for daily, weekly and monthly stays.
- Do you offer tent camping? NO
- Do you have a bath house or laundry? NO - something we are working on.
- What amenities do you offer? Each site has FHU (20/30/50 electric, water & sewer), wi-fi, picnic table, fire ring, playground, catch & release fishing pond and walking trails - if you are looking for a quiet & relaxing campground then we're your campground - if you are looking for a RV resort or amusement park then we are not your campground. We are a small quiet campground - go spend the day at one of our beautiful Crystal Coast Beaches then come back, cook out, have a campfire and enjoy the beautiful sky that mother nature has provided for us.
- What is "Dark Sky Friendly"? We have very limited lighting through out the campground, so our view of the skyline is not destroyed by light pollution. On a clear night all you have to do is look up to the sky and see all the beautiful stars and galaxies it has to offer. 
- Are you pet friendly? YES, limit of 3, non aggressive pets. They must be leashed at all times, you must pick-up behind them. No barnyard animals allowed.
- Do you offer monthly sites? YES, these guest must submit a background check prior to reservation. If you are coming to the area to work at Cherry Point (7 miles) or Carteret Health Care (14 miles), we are close by. We do not provide a permanent residence, we do not allow any carports, decking, underpinning or sheds. We are a campground not a mobile home park. 
- How close are you to the beaches? We are 30 minutes from either Atlantic Beach or Emerald Isle.

A+++ A must visit campground!! The hospitality was amazing! Lisa and her husband were very polite and helpful with anything we asked. The campground was nice, clean and a very convenient location. We have never stayed anywhere that made us feel so welcomed. Oh and I can't forget the amazing fully stocked pond. My kids and my nephews all caught a fish in a matter of 15 minutes! Great memories we will be back for sure!

Great campground! Nicest people own this place. They know the area and gave us suggestions and recommendations on things we needed. Grounds are kept up and it is very quiet. We had great wifi and cell service. We travel all around and this place lands in the top 5 campgrounds we have been at! Thank you for sharing your place with us!

What a great experience here! Lisa and Shawn are amazing. They work hard to keep a safe environment, clean campground and they treat you like family. The location is perfect to beaches, Fort Macon and other things to do. Thank you!​

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.

Dogwood Family Campground is by far the best Campground I stayed at. It’s clean, safe and well managed. Very Family oriented no noise or partying on the weekends. Everything is close by such as grocery stores and shopping and the base if you’re part of it

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.
