The park is primarily a barrier island with ferry service, though there are some onshore trails…read morethrough the forest and ample picnic space while you're waiting for the boat. The ferry is reasonably cheap and does not take advance reservations. They limit capacity on the way over, but obviously this does create a situation where passengers can build up by the end of the day, to which their solution appears to be to have the last scheduled ferry service double up if need be (they had at least two boats it seemed). The island has ample uninterrupted beach, which had plenty of sea life, including a sand dollar which I would more typically see farther south. There was a modest paved walk through the island to get to the beach, passing primitive campgrounds and some bathroom facilities on stilts. During my visit, they emphasized that the water available on the island was not drinkable; apparently they had to repair facilities after a hurricane and the intent was to produce drinkable running water, but there was still some unsolved technical issue. They cautioned us in advance to bring plenty of water, and there were working fountains on the mainland. Every island is different, and in this region, most of them are settled. The next really wild one heading north is Shackleford I think, and heading south would be Masonboro (which I haven't found practical to get to). The atmosphere here is worth preserving.

Really nice park. Nice trails. Well maintained infrastructure. Top notch campground with very…read morenice bathrooms. This is a good place to check out.

I travel full time in my little RV so I am always looking for new places to stay between…read morevolunteering as a campground host at some places. 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.

My husband and I stayed at this USDA Forest Service campground for one night in mid-March, 2025. We…read morewere "walk-ins" without a prior reservation, but we were able to secure one of the "first come" sites, paying to the campground host. 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.

We are long term residents. We Like the park, like the…read morepeople here too. Camp Host is a rock star. It seems that the owners of this place has done what North Carolina has become so famous for. It's called the nickel and dime shuffle. Plan on being charged a service fee when you get here. 10.00 processing fee for most transactions you make. You would think that with all the extra fees they charge your site wouldn't flood, one heavy rain and you'er are in a Sneads Ferry lake. On to the three stars. The site isn't secured. people drive through the camp ground all night long. the Boat ramp is suppose to be private but it's not. Charter boat captains use and abuse the boat ramp at an astonishing rate. On Holidays locals use the( AKA Private) boat ramp which means they come through the camp ground. The Air B&B is another practice some were uncomfortable with. Temporary people passing in an out of the area on a nightly bases is unsettling. I under stand this is a camp ground a transient place, but its not secure and anyone can come in an out of the area at any time of the night.

We stayed 4 nights at Seahaven RV Park and had such a wonderful time…read more Everyone we met was so incredibly nice and accommodating. The manager (owner?) Amanda was so incredibly sweet every time we talked to her. They have light but sturdy picnic tables at each lot that you can easily move around as needed and the same with the fire/grill rings. We cooked steaks on the grill ring and they turned out great. We loved meeting people inside the dog-park as well. Lots of really cool dogs get in there and run and play. We'll definitely be back.
