About
Located in the Neuse River Recreation Area of Croatan National Forest in eastern North Carolina, Flanners Beach Campground sits on a bluff overlooking the scenic Neuse River. The campground is within a half-hour drive from the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway. The facility offers 39 campsites situated under tall pines and hardwoods, with 22 sites featuring electrical hookups with 20/30/50 amp service. Two sites are double occupancy sites. Each campsite is equipped with a picnic table, fire ring, and lantern pole. The campground features a modern bathhouse with private hot showers, restrooms, and drinking water. A trailer dump station is available for registered campers. Of the 39 sites, 7 are first-come, first-served and cannot be reserved. The remaining sites require reservations made at least 3 days in advance through Recreation.gov. Some sites utilize a Scan & Pay system for first-come, first-served sites only. Gates close at 8:00 p.m. but are not locked. Recreation opportunities include a 3-mile non-motorized trail system that winds through mixed pine-hardwood forest, plus over 5 additional miles of trails for hikers and bikers. The Neuse River is a coastal waterway where saltwater meets fresh, approximately two miles wide, offering excellent kayaking, canoeing, and fishing opportunities. The beach and large picnic area remain temporarily closed due to Hurricane Florence damage. Nearby attractions include the Crystal Coast beaches, Tryon Palace, historic Beaufort, and Fort Macon. Stay limit is 14 days within a 30-day period. Dogs must be leashed, and alcohol use is prohibited.
