Very clean, recently updated state park. We reserved site 6 online because it was the last available spot not realizing it was handicap accessible. When we arrived there was a handicap sign on the spot with fine listed like you would see in a parking lot. What we learned from park staff is that we would have to move if there was a walk up that needed a handicap accessible site which we completely understand. Because it was handicap accessible the drive is paved. The park was quiet. Bath houses are clean but outdated like most state parks. The visitors center is very nice and has a great interactive area for kids. We hiked along the river and then took a drive to Kinston to the CSS Neuse museum. We also spotted a nice playground, splash pad, and community pool with water slides in Kinston that we will check out on another trip. We really enjoyed camping here and will definitely be back.

We stayed here for two nights in late March. The campground is busy but quiet and peaceful. Grounds are very well kept, with gravel driveways, picnic table and fire pit. Bathhouse with free, hot showers. Water spigots everywhere. They’ve got small ish tent sites, back in RV sites and 3 cabins. There is a day use area with several small trails and a visitors center.
The park is patrolled frequently by a state ranger and the front gate closes at 8 pm.
Our cabin had two rooms, two bunks and a big bed in the front room. It also had heat and AC.
We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go again!
