This is a nice park that is fairly new. It met my needs, but its not really for the family. Mostly for the working person and passer by's. Clean well kept grounds, great Wi-Fi internet service, quiet and not real busy. Has a little fishing pond they call a lake. Sites were grassy and sand. Owner checks in frequently to see how all is going. Draw back, at time I stayed there was no office and I had to find my own site. Owner was making improvements the entire time I stayed and when I was leaving. I would stay there again We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was by far the best KOA that we have ever camped in. The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful. The bathrooms were clean and modern. Great amenities. We would have liked to swim in the pool, but, closed @ 6pm. Almost worth the cost for the night, but KOA's are expensive anyway. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Best campground we have ever been in. We had one one of the deluxe patio pull thru sites for the July 4 weekend. Site had patio table with umbrella and 4 chairs, glider, fire place, and patio accent lighting. Park staff were always helpful and extremely friendly. Lots of kid friendly activities during weekend. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We have camped at this campground several times over the past year and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves each and every time. The staff always makes you feel welcome and the campsites are always clean & level. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
River view sites not really river view. New EPA rules keep the area from the campground to the shore line from being cut, so you only see the underbrush. Patio sites were great, I loved the concrete site with a double glider, table with 4 chairs and the mode lights around the concrete. Plenty of room with slides out and awning out for fun. Bathhouses were always clean and supplied. Patio area around around office was nice. This was Mother's Day weekend and the camp ground staff went out of their way to make it special for Mom's and their families. Free breakfast Sunday before church services, this was nice for the moms. I would stay here again when I go to New Bern. Diesel pumps and gas station within one mile of entrance to campground. Around 4-5 miles to all the shopping you would need. Historic downtown New Bern 2-3 miles away. Camp staff were on top of everything, Pat was a great hostess. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We took advantage of their buy two nights get the third free. Staff was courteous and very helpful. We chose a patio site and enjoyed the patio especially after the rain. Quiet hours were observed by all and that included the BSA (Boy Scouts of America) troop tent camping nearby. Will make this a future stop when we return to the New Bern area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park is nice. Staff got rude when a visitor showed up and accidentally exceeded the speed limit. Sites were OK. If you were willing to pay up to a $100 you could have a nice site. We probably wont be back there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Campground is very clean and staff members are very friendly. Lots of activities for children/teens. Beautiful view from waterfront. Will definitely visit again. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.
As others have said, a very friendly staff and a meticulously maintained and equipped facility. As one poster said, the water view is across a marsh and barely viewable. We paid $47 in Feb for a water view site, not one of the fancy paved patio sites! This seems absurd for a non-resort location. While it is a superb facility and staff, it is not worth $47 in Feb (or anytime). We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very clean, nice campground. The staff was fabulously friendly and wonderful. The site was large and level. The COMPLIMENTARY pancake breakfast was a very nice treat. The pool, fishing pond, pier, and even exercise cabin were great. Our only complaint was that our "riverview" site really didn't have a view of the river. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We were assigned a great pull through site with a patio, fire pit and furniture. Nice dock on the Neuse River with fishing and pedal boats. The fishing was more like worm killing, but that was me, not the KOA. Camp personnel were friendly and kept the park very clean. We were going to use the pool, until I found ducks swimming in it after dark. Yuk! There is a small fishing pond for the kids. Facilities were clean and well equipped. Great place to base camp for visiting New Bern. Go see the old hardware store downtown. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great campground. Lots of activities for those inclined, level gravel sites with plenty of room. Will definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
First time we have camped at this KOA. We took advantage of the one night free weekend and chose one of the premium sites that had a paved patio, cushioned glider/seat, table with umbrella and fire pit. We also took our kayaks as there is a nice boat ramp and pier area in the campground that is on the Neuse river. The staff here is very friendly and helpful. The cable system was great and the wifi also worked well. Historic downtown New Bern is about a ten minute drive away. We would definitely return to this campground. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This is a great campground whether overnighting or for an extended vacation. It is conveniently located for a day trip to Morehead, Beaufort or Atlantic Beach. There is also a lot to do in New Bern itself. The campground itself is in excellent condition with packed gravel for the roads and sites. Patio sites are available with a nice paved patio, swing, table and chairs and a fire pit. The big rig sites are long and level with a fire pit. There are nice water view sites for tents that have water and electric with a nice patio with a picnic table with an umbrella! What a refreshing find. The view from the water is to die for. It has a fantastic sunset view and also a pier with limited boat slips available. We wish to go back very soon and also visit for a lot of trips. Wish we had found it sooner. Did not visit the bathhouse but there is a small cabin with a treadmill and exercise bike for those who wish to work out. The campground store is new with limited groceries and gifts available. Thanks for a great and memorable weekend. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We only stayed here one night. It was a lovely campground, except for the freight train that goes by several times a night. At 4 am the train kept blowing the whistle and woke us all up. My husband said he heard the train at midnight, 2 am and I also heard it at 3:30 am. I just think its a shame as the campground was very nice. Couldn't understand why the train kept blowing its horn over and over at 4 am. Don't plan on staying here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice, quiet, lovely campground. Campground looks like it went through a major renovation because everything looks updated and new. The landscape was so nice and neat that in some instances the mowers became a nuisance but was a good trade off. The cabin we stayed in was impressively new looking. Was large, had air and accommodated our pet. Campground is small in comparison to the others we have been to but the RV sites were large including the sites for cabins. All sites seem to be level matching the terrain. Was able to erect an over the picnic table screened in canopy. Driveway was nice, large, and well kept. The cabin had a lovely front porch with a swing. The porch had enough room to leave our fishing and swimming equipment out without looking messy. We stayed during the week so missed most of the activities. Did enjoy a cooked breakfast at the enclosed recreation area, and watched a country band. Store was well stocked with essentials yet was short of a lot of grocery type items. Had a nice dimly lighted pier and was able to see the sun set. Waterway was absolutely beautiful. The pier was great for fishing. Has a nice well manicured fish and pitch lake where the kids was able to catch real fish. Both bathrooms were the cleanest of which one is hotel quality. Had a nice sized pool, basketball with adjustable goal for smaller kids (not paved), volley ball court, and a playground. Enjoyed on site camp fires. The cabins are well shaded whereas the RV sites were lightly shaded overall. Called for reservations but when checking in had complications. We were a party of six with a pet. The pet friendly cabins only could accommodate four. The owners were flexible enough to allow us to stay in a pet friendly cabin for four otherwise the dog had to be put up during our stay—nice compromise. Due to personal business issue I had to leave one day early, the staff was generous enough to refund one day’s stay. It seems that there were more seniors there than expected. The fact my kids did not find many kids to play with was not the fault of the campground. Overall the staff was very nice and helpful. Rate includes a party of six, cable, and a pet less KOA discount which was an excellent value. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.
This used to be one of our favorite campgrounds. New owners have taken over and it seems like they are catering more to the over 55 crowd. When we went here in 2005 there were events going on most of the day for the younger campers and that is one of the things that has kept us coming back. I have heard since we were here over Memorial Day weekend that they have started to incorporate activities for the youngsters. We stayed with 4 other families and must admit that the staff was friendly and helpful at all times. My camping unit had a power issue and the staff worked with me and helped isolate the problem and then even helped with fixing it. The staff is doing a lot with this facility and with some more activities for the youngsters my rating of 9 would have gone to a 10. We will be back since the owners make you feel welcome and also ensure you are happy while you are here. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Overall the park is beautiful and well taken care of. Our only suggestion is that the showers in the main building need a shelf of some kind in the shower itself to hold soap and shampoo etc. We were very pleased and would definitately come back for a longer stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I have never given a park a 10, but everything about this one is great! The previous reviews say it all and I can only add that the town of New Bern is a gem of quaint perfection to visit. This year it was a two-night stop in a 4,000-mile trip; next year it will be a destination all its own. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great location and well maintained park. Great management who have a real interest in making the park fun, clean and safe. Toilets and showers were cleaner than any I'd seen before and in A1 condition. Watch out for 6am train. The driver really likes to let you know he's there We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a very pleasant campground. The store was new, clean and well-stocked. The staff was very helpful. Some of the sites were a little short for a longer rig. Good wifi signal at our site. Experienced several bouts of low voltage, this was the only real negative to this park. We would return here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
I have been to New Bern KOA twice this year. The first time quite by accident since I was late in reserving a site for Memorial Day weekend. The new owners of this campground have done a awesome job. The Campground is right off of Highway 17 and the only negative thing I can say is that there is now warning before you come upon the campground. I did a power slide with a trailer behind my van trying to make the driveway without doing a U-Turn. The Campground is small and everyone is so friendly. By the time we left the campground we were so impressed by the staff and the park we made reservations for July 4th weekend. July 4th weekend we showed up and the temperature was in the high 90's and as soon as I set up I found out my A/C was not working. Not only did the staff spend about 45 minutes inside of my hot trailer troubleshooting but fixed the problem and when I tryed to pay them they just acted like this was normal routine and would not take any payment. My kids had a blast at the pool and the special events that the staff hosted and I really feel sorry for one of the owners since my daughters friend while trying to hit the Piniata took the owner out instead, but he took it all in stride. We have made numerous friends at this family friendly campground and are now planning numerous group outings. I will return again and again there is no place better to spend a July 4th weekend!! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Excellent campground and very clean. The sites are large. The pool and playground are wonderful. I would return to this campground if I were in the area. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
The above rates are for in season, full hookup, 30amp. This campground was just renovated this year. We camped there in March of 2004 in a 27' travel trailer. The sites are clean and level. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There is a nice playground with new equipment. The pool was being completely redone while we were there, but it will be nice when it is finished. There is a trail to the river from the campground, with tent sites along the trail. The new owners told us they had just obtained the permits to rebuild the dock area at the river. They plan to eventually have kayak rentals and other activities. Overall this is a very nice, clean, comfortable campground. Only negative is that it is right off of a busy highway, and there is some traffic noise, but it was not terrible. We plan to camp there again this summer. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
