We love camping at Oyster point. Its quiet and peaceful. Only problem is the bugs. The no see ems and may flies are not friendly. LOL. Bug spray is a must

A map of the campground would have made a big difference for us. For what it’s worth, odd numbered sites are on the water side and the higher numbers are closer to water. Also, if you use the small launch for kayaks next to the campground, try to do it when it’s NOT low tide. The ground is like muddy quicksand and the mosquitoes were bad!

The host was amazing and the campsite was large. However, this place is a "you get what you pay for" type of place. The vault toilets were full of flies, no sinks, and no showers. They do have potable water. The bugs were so bad that we avoided being outside after sunset. We woke up to small black flies in our tent (they made it through the mesh windows) and proceeded to pack up.

When I booked a "primitive campground" in a "national forest", I had visions of getting away from it all for a few days and being in a green space with like minded campers. This is absolutely NOT that. The majority of campers are in RVs and they are allowed to run generators from 6AM - 10PM! so forget peace and quiet. The "forest" is a small space of trees surrounded by a neighborhood where the main road has a speed of 50-60 mph. The listing for this spot says 21 miles of walking trails but since Hurricane Florence, there's still only 1.5 miles cleared. I was told there was no money to do the work needed, yet they are fixing the 1-mile road in for the cars and RVs. On weekends, this is simply a parking spot for locals who want to come to the beach area; not campers, people just sleeping off the day's activities done elsewhere. If you're looking for a primitive camping experience in the woods, RUN from this one!

Of note: The camp hosts -- Tonia and her husband are absolutely wonderful and sincerely caring people.

Oyster Point and the hosts never disappoint! Always a relaxing, welcoming time!! Perfect get away to restore and play in the woods. Highly recommend this gem in Carteret County.
