The good things about this campground were the playground and the adult pool/spa. It is a square-shaped pool with benches along each side and lots of jets, so it feels like a jacuzzi. It is very nice! The bathrooms were very nice and clean, too. While we were there, a large camping group was there, and the Wi-Fi was spotty while they were there. When most left, it was great. My son-in-law on the site next to ours could never get online (only while camping group was there). The sites are gravel or sand. I thought it was a little over-priced. Also, there was not much shade. There are lots of young trees, though. There is a pitiful little stream that flows along one side, but I sure would not pay more to camp by it! We paid a weekly rate and got a discount. Check ahead for current pricing!

It is quiet and in a good location for covering the southern end of the Outer Banks. The bathrooms could really use some updating. The campground is a good ways from the ocean. It is across the ocean boulevard and a block or two from that. We missed having WI-FI, so we only stayed four nights and moved to another campground that had WI-FI. There is a nice used book exchange in the office, and the people who run the campground were super nice.

Super nice people work there -- very helpful. The location on the river is very nice. There is a nice dock with two swings to enjoy the view. There were several bathrooms (small, but adequate).

We really like this campground. The campground is on the ocean side with only the dunes separating us from the ocean -- an easy walk. We can hear the waves breaking at night. The internet has been off and on while we were there, but we were able to do what we wanted (send and receive e-mail). It is in a good location for day trips to Ocracoke, Manteo, Hatteras, and Corolla. We will definitely come here again.

Only one bathroom at office location - which is a long walk. The campground is very shady, and we had good WI-FI there. It was a good location for touring Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach.

People who work there are very nice and helpful. They give a sheet of frequently asked questions that was really helpful. The bathrooms were a bit of a hike and the sites were grass and dirt with thousands of ants (which invaded our camper while there). There were lots of fishermen there. We awoke the sound and smell of the next site's group churning/cutting up chum in a big five gallon bucket for their fishing that day. Still it was a nice visit.

OK - no 50 amp, no cable, no WIFI, lots of mosquitoes, BUT it is so beautiful in every other way that I had to give it a 10. I hate that reservations cannot be made 11 months in advance from the beginning of your stay. It is hard to get two weeks without moving sites. We had gone there before Hurricane Hugo, and I do not think they had any full hook-up sites then. I wish they had more. We will try to go back every year!

The Fall Creek Falls were beautiful water falls without having to hike a long distance. The deer ticks were really, really bad, though. Be aware of this and go prepared with bug-spray, especially for pets. Several in our camping party pulled multiple ticks off of themselves. Still, it is beautiful with a lot to do, and we will go again! Book your reservations way ahead of your visit. (800) 250-8611

We spent our first night in our new (gently used) Trailmanor. The sound of the river was wonderful. The employees were very nice and helpful. The river-front campsite was much less expensive than at the KOA. The out-of-season rate was very good for Townsend. (800) 448-6373
