Holiday Trav-L-Park Resort

We stayed on a “premium site” right next to the dunes, which provided easy and quick beach access. This placed us the farthest away from the office and the pool, but it was worth it. The staff was very accommodating, and Stacy was excellent at talking us through the kind of tight turns to get into our site. Food trucks nearby, music in the park. Lots to do, but we really enjoyed the fantastic beach. Will definitely go again. Cell service was spotty, and the WiFi was essentially non-existent.

The sites are packed together even in the ‘off season’. They shut down all of the campground except the blue area. But that being said, who wants to spend time at your camper when you are at the beach! The campground is meticulously maintained and right on the beach. This is great for long walks with the dogs and just playing enjoying the beach. Another huge pulse is that the campground is on a bike trail that goes for miles and miles. We have a new to us motorhome and haven’t figured out if or how we want to tow a car. This was perfect. We biked everywhere. It is a great way to explore the island. WiFi was adequate for me to work. But I think in the summer with more people it might be a struggle.

We have friends in the area and the convenience to them and the beach made this a win for us. The staff was very nice, professional, and extremely helpful. The park is jam packed and feels very tight. Not a mask on a person to be seen and that is important to us at this time in the world. It doesn't seem so difficult to don a mask in a public place, but alas. We would definitely camp here again, but keep to the yellow zone. The others were way too close together for us.

Access: easy off the 40 and past Camp Lejeune to Emerald Isle, and once on the island this is very easy in. They escort you to your site, and ours was in yellow, so fairly easy to get into because they are bigger sites in the yellow zone.
Location: Cannot be beat, right on the beach (on the other side of a large berm, so you don't see the ocean from the park, but you hear it)
Cleanliness: the park was clean, the bathrooms were clean, and they pick up the trash several times a day, which we v much appreciated. No one wore masks, which for us is a mark down from the cleanliness perspective. We don't want to give our germs to others and would prefer not to get theirs.
Site Quality: fair to good - grass for the most part, with dirt patches where many RVs have been parked. Ours was level but not all are.
Noise: The park is crowded and there is noise to go along with that. That said, nothing outrageous.
Cell service and wifi: terrible. Verizon and ATT were both low bars, and the camp wifi was very weak.

This was our first visit and won't be our last. We stayed mid March during the off-season, so the rates were affordable for a full-hookup site. We stayed in the Blue section, where our site was level and clean. All the facilities for us worked well and the bathhouse was clean. The staff is friendly and the groundskeepers were attentive. Beach access was incredible, with a short (1/4 ish) mile walk from our site to the beach. The boardwalk was lit well and nicely maintained. While we did not bring our dogs, the facility is dog friendly and dogs are allowed on the beach (leashed everywhere of course). We did not travel into the area much although we did take the kids to play putt putt golf, and they enjoyed the bounce house. Overall our stay here was enjoyed and we will be back again.

We stayed for customer appreciation weekend this year. The sites are very expensive $70+ per night. We stayed here because it was a close campground near a wedding we were attending. The sites are very expensive, but right on the beach! Fun atmosphere! The beach is very dog friendly and beautiful. I liked the park, but would not stay here again based on price.
