Mark L.- Google 5 star review -
My brother and I were looking for somewhere to stay near beach golf courses. The website said, no outside lights and night and I was skeptical. But that first night, sitting by the fire with nothing but stars and moon….priceless. There’s a great little trail behind the sites through the woods that was great to walk off those dinners we cooked. EXTREMELY clean and advertised exactly as it is. With power, water, sewer and excellent WIFI, it was exactly what we needed. And having to take your own trash to the dumpster seems odd at first, but when you looked around the campground, not seeing trash sitting on sites waiting to be picked up made it worth it. They were adding more fish to a small stock pond while we were there. If you need anything, it’s only a short drive to the grocery store and Wal-Mart. To the host…keep doing what you’re doing. I’m impressed at the lifestyle and slow pace of living. Really refreshing. Rooms: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Location: 4/5 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. Rooms: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Location: 5/5 Barb D. - Google 5 star review - 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! Service: 5/5 Location: 5/5 |
