Very nice CG close to downtown and OBX. Rate is 40 a night. Loved the views of the river. Would come back. Make sure to call first. Very busy is the summer.

Nice campground that is clean with concrete FHU sites and level. Ours the back faced the water. Only reason for the 2 star on amenities is that there is no bath house/ laundry facilities. SMALL base in a great location and about an hour from Outer Banks.

Nice sites in pretty location within view of the bay. Across street from active coast guard air station. No bath house which is a bit of a bummer. 100 yds from swimming beach and boat launch. Close to gas station/mini mart, small Exchange.

We stayed here for an overnight. The park is small but very clean. The concrete pad was level and the hookups were located nicely on the site. We enjoyed how quiet it was and the lake was right across the field for a pleasant view. The gas station is right around the corner and there is plenty on shopping a short drive down the road. Overall a great park for a short stay!

There are two camping areas. The first are for sites 1-4 which are in the area behind the gas station and some offices. There are also the rental trailer homes there. You need full hookups in your rig for all of the sites including the paved by the water. The only issue with these first 4 sites is that it shares the parking lot with the rental trailers and it may be difficult to get your unit into one of the sites. Our site (#4) was about 15' from one of the trailers and that was our view which means there is no view. The main RV camping area is very nice with paved sites and grass. Both camping sites were windy, so we couldn't use our awning, but we were gone most of the day. There is a nice exchange on the base and no commissary, but a walking path/sidewalk and we could easily ride our bikes from one side of the base to the other with no issue. It was a good base for visiting that northeast corner of NC and the Outer Banks.

Very small, very easy to back in. No immediate bathrooms have to use the gym which is pretty old school but cool. My site’s water did not work. Family friendly. 12 or so sites and three were held by long termers. Would definitely stay again!

The campground was small and well kept up. Probably the easiest in and out, just one road from gate to the campground. There is a small bath house near the beach.One shower and a ? toilet that was closed off. The place was swarming with bees and wasps. Got stung once and never returned. No swimming signs posted near the small beach. Do be aware that there are no amenities. Our jetpack cost is high, so usually try to find campgrounds that offer WiFi (like most Navy campgrounds). No cable and antenna picked up a few channels that would sometimes work and other times wouldn’t. The girl in the office was very nice and friendly. Our one major concern is there is nowhere to shelter in case of severe weather. We have never encountered this at any military campgrounds we have stayed at over the past few years. We had severe thunder storms, high winds and tornado watches while we were there. I called the office to ask where to take shelter if needed. I was told if the weather was severe the CO would close the base and we needed to evacuate with our RV. Evacuate during tornado watches/warnings??? Not gonna happen! All in all it is a nice, basic and very small campground. Good for a stop over, 1 ½ hours over to the Outer Banks.

Beautiful little campground, paved sites easy in and out. Right on the water. Down side, can't swim. Some kind of bacteria in the water and swimming not recommended. There were not many instructions or directions when you check in you are kind of left on your own. We make sure to check and that there are shower and laundry facilities everywhere we stop as we travel in a 15' travel trailer. When we arrived I did not see laundry or bathrooms and there was no map of the park. I saw that one reviewer said there wasn't any facilities, there actually are. The laundry is in the area where the mobile homes are in a small white building and the bath house is on the other side of the beach (it is your basic beach bathroom, clean but not fancy). Just had to do some exploring to find everything. It was a lovely place to stay and we would stay there again. My dog and I took some beautiful sunrise walks. It would be nice if dogs were not banned from everything. They are cleaner than most people especially when they have their people trained well.

A nice location and nice paved sites if you are in A thru J. We were assigned site #1 in the small RV location and we moved due to being in a gravel parking lot with cars and surrounded by Mobil homes. There is no bath house or laundry facilities but you do have full hook ups. I would not stay if all they had was # 1 - 4 open.

A very small and quiet campground with level concrete back-in sites near the river. No confirmation email is sent after a reservation is made to give instructions for check-in or site assignment. That made arrival confusing because we did not know that we had to check a listing on the kiosk to find out what site was assigned to us and there was no camp host to assist us. Our name was not on the list so we took the only vacant site listed then called the office but got no answer. We finally, after several tries, got an answer and was told that the site we picked was our assigned site but then we found that the spigot was broken and had to move. The one thing that will cause us not to come back is the lack of a bathhouse in the campground. Campers have to use the gym down the street for access to toilets and showers. It was very inconvenient.

Wife and I stayed three nights. Very peaceful and quiet . Close enough to Nags Head...but far enough away to avoid the crowds! When you visit don't forget to tour the free Elizabeth City Museum! Will definitely return!

Enjoyed our visit at the base. The RV park is small but well kept and the staff that we met were helpful and personable. If you are planning a trip to the Outer Banks I highly recommend the base.

Nice sites, back in only. Retirees are good to eat at the Chow Hall. There is a gym, a beach, small CG Exchange and mini-mart. C-130s go in and out and do touch and go's, but that's OK. Utilities were there, no wifi or cable though. Nice and quiet spot!

This is a beautiful, small park with a river view and a nice, sandy beach within walking distance. Rhonda, the manager, was very friendly and helpful. The sites are concrete, back-in only but the back-in angle makes it pretty easy--even for a big rig. The hook ups were very good and there is a small PX and gym within walking distance. The park is directly beside the airfield, so there is some daytime noise, but it is tolerable. We believe that our television surround sound system may have been picking up some interference from radar equipment, because we had a high-pitch background noise that disappeared once we left the park. Elizabeth City does not have much to offer to make a long-term stay at the park worthwhile (i.e. a month or more), but our bottom line was: nice park, nice location, good price, and we would definitely visit again.

Second stay here. Beautiful location. Small exchange with grocery stores near by. Rhonda is a great manager! This is close to our home base which makes it a great weekend getaway site. Watch for sandspurs in the grass. Good fishing from the pier by the boat ramp.

THE CAMPGROUND HAD VERY GOOD UTILITIES, EASY ACCESS CEMENT PADS AND EXCELLENT VIEW OF THE RIVER. WHILE THERE IS NO CABLE TV WE HAD ACCESS TO 7-8 CHANNELS INCLUDING ALL THE MAJOR ONES. WIFI IS AVAILABLE BUT ONLY AT THE MWR OFFICE IN HANGER 7. RONDHA (MWR OFFICE) WAS MOST HELPFUL IN GIVING US INFO. THE OBX WAS ONLY 45 MINUTES AWAY. THERE WAS A SMALL CG BX,CLASS VI AND SHOPETTE WITH GAS STATION. SEVERAL FOOD STORES AND RESTAURANTS WERE WITHIN A SHORT DISTANCE OF THE FACILITY.

What a great campground. Walking distance to the beach for swimming or fishing from the pier or from the shore. Quiet and very clean with large cement sites. Rhonda with the MWR is very friendly and sweet and helpful to make your stay that much more special. She will bend over backwards to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The Pass and ID office was very friendly and helpful on obtaining vehicle stickers for both our auto and RV. The gate guards were very friendly and helpful. Again a great campground and will come back soon to visit and have peace and quiet and watch the sunrise over the river. RV with a 40ft Motorhome. Steve and Ann from Hope Mills, NC

R.L. left this review using the Directory sofwtare: - Love it here! It didn't look like the old campsites were used any more, they weren't very attractive anyway. The new area is great, large level concrete pads w/ all new hookups, easy in and out. Attractive landscaping. Beach a short walk, very clean and better for swimming than at the ocean. Laundry is functional, located in a small "garden shed" building. Rhonda at MWR was very friendly and helpful.

Stayed here 2 weeks. Very quite and relaxing, right by the water. Campground was spotless. Had water, electric, & sewer hookups. Direct TV and Verizon cell & internet worked great. Paid $ 20.00 per night. Small exchange on base, but not far from other shopping and dining out. Had laundry by exchange, $100 wash & $ 1.00 dry. I'm not a numbers rater, either I like a FamCamp or not. Well I like this FamCamp. Will stay here again.
