We went and toured Holiday TravL park, which is $80-$100 per night. Feel like for $25 we got what we paid for. There are no other amenities included.

I decided to give Cedar Point a try because it is close to Camp Lejeune Marine base. I like being near military bases for use of their facilities. I know it was off season, so the natural beauty would be waning. Still, the facility is disappointing. The sites are nice and well spaced, but the place is tired and worn. They do have electricity available but no water at the sites. There is a dump station in the campground. The bathhouse is terrible. The showers are old and unheated. The shower is not inviting and I couldn't get hot water to ever show up. Just a push button so no way to control temperature. The men's urinal is out of order. I will say that the place is very clean but that is the only positive aspect of the shower. There is a short hiking trail within walking distance of the campground that runs along the marsh. It's also well used but pretty, even in December.

You can also make reservations through recreation.gov. We paid $17 for a site with electric and water hookups with my husband's NPS lifetime Senior pass. It's a relatively small campground with all sites in one loop. Pros. *well-priced for a site with electricity and water. *sites are very large, with long-g-g driveways to accommodate large RVs. *each site had a fire ring and picnic table. *good restrooms and showers for paying guests. *friendly and helpful camp host. *clean, with a feeling of being in nature with frolicking squirrels. Cons. While the camp guests were quiet, given its location, the campground itself wasn't. There was quite a lot of air traffic noise from nearby military installations (Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point; US Coast Guard), as well as some traffic noise from a few streets over. Nonetheless, we would stay here again if in the area.

I arrived late on Saturday after the office had closed, the instructions at the office say to pick a spot and check in and pay in the morning. Their camper bathrooms were locked and unable to be used. Had to walk to the pier to use the toilet. In the morning when I went to pay, I was rudely told that I was not allowed to camp here, that they had stopped allowing that over a year ago. Its also 50 dollars for the night for just a small backpacking tent. Place feels wrong. Its a beautiful site and quiet though.

THIS GUY SOLD MY TICKETS EVEN THOUGH WE HAD GUARANTEED RESERVATIONS WITH CREDIT CARD!!…read more I made reservations on the Queen Jean and guaranteed the reservation for six with my credit card. The captain said that would hold my reservation but we would need to pay in cash. He told me the boat was behind the Assembly Building. He said we had to pay in cash but the credit card would guarantee we would have six spots on the boat! We also had to be there half hour before sailing. Sailing was at 9:00. We were there at 8:30 with a lot of other folks. There was a group of six people that came in about 8:50 that were from Kentucky! After going over safety instructions the Captain told everyone to show their tickets and board. That was the first we heard of needing a ticket. He never told me over the phone we needed tickets. I went up to him and asked him where we get our tickets and he asked my name. I told him and he said, "I sold your tickets". I was shocked! On my way back to the house he texted me and said he was sorry. Now if he had my phone number why didn't he have the courtesy to call me before he "sold" my tickets? My grandchildren had looked forward to this all week and by selling our tickets he ruined our day! I would never go on this fishing boat!! I would not recommend them at all!!

The half day fishing trip was $60 a person and leaves at 9 and comes back at 2. Their website actually says its $70 but we paid $60. Warning: they don't take credit cards! But they took my husband and brother in laws driver license as "collateral" that they would find an ATM on our return and pay when the trip was over, which we did. We went out for about an hour and a half on a beautiful boat ride with about 50 people on board. There is a boat captain, two mates and a guy running the galley kitchen. They were all very nice and accommodating. You didn't have to take anything with you fishing and they would even take your fish off and bait your hook if needed. We stopped at three different holes before heading back. Our party of 4 caught 9 good size fish that fed our family of 7 dinner that night. Actually 3 of us caught 9 keepers, my poor sister was pretty sea sick most of the trip. If you're prone to sea sickness either take a lot of Dramamine or maybe sit this one out. Overall it was a great trip. Very nice crew. Very professional.
