**RV SITE REVIEW** A…read morecouple weeks back me and my dad camped for one night at Goose Creek State Park, and we stayed at RV site #20. This RV site was fantastic. All of the sites were flat (which is what you want), and offered plenty of privacy (The sites were very spacious from one another). All RV sites consist of 30 and 50 amp hookups, as well as a connection to fresh water, and a sewage pipe. The bath house was new and clean. It was modern on the inside, offered hot water (even in 20 degrees), and was well taken care of. The camp host does a great job at taking care of this site. I would highly recommend that you stay/visit Goose Creek when you can. It is a great hidden spot that offers a wide array of trails and activities.

There was a tiny bathhouse with 2 stalls and 1 single person outdoor shower. Camp host was super friendly, the park was very clean. This is a no frills camp ground, if your looking for. KOA this isn't it. But if your looking for a older but well maintained, clean campground, with amazing views that is a short drive to activities then this May be the spot for you. Quiet hour is at 10pm and the campground did quiet down. At some point before quiet hour there was people singing on a Karaoke machine but it was done before quiet hour. I would recommend water shoes as the water has a lot of shells right as you enter. We were there on a very busy 4th of July weekend and it ended up being just perfect.

The Visitor's Center has restrooms, a small gift shop and picnic tables outside. The area was originally home to gristmills and a sawmill, and a farm supply store, where the trading happened. When the mills closed around World War II, the land was sold to developers. The land was donated to the state and became the park. The pond has a unique ecosystem. Some artifacts from the old mill are displayed in the visitor center. The exhibits cover the history of the area and the wildlife there. Who knew that alligators are this far north? You will also find beavers, otters, bobcats, birds and fish.

They have an onsite store for the essentials you may have forgotten and the prices are not outrageous. River runs around the grounds, making it very scenic. Pets allowed with no weight restrictions like some other places. Keep on a leash and clean up after are the only rules. Free wifi too. Only downside was lack of trees on the side we parked the RV. In the heat of August, the air ran all day full time to try to keep it cool. So if you're there in the summer, just remember to request a campsite near trees. Would definitely recommend and we'll stay again next time thru.

We loved how we weren't stacked on top of another camper and had our own little space. The two beaches are beautiful to watch the sunsets and collect beach glass. I also enjoyed taking my two boys outside. The people here are friendly from the staff to the campers. They are always willing to help and answer any questions. I really met some awesome people here. They do have a bath house and a playground. Other amenities included a basketball court, volleyball court, camp store, and they also accept all your mail & packages. The playground was sorta run down and I wished so badly it was in better shape for my two little boys. I also think a laundry facility would be a big help with the full timers. I can tell these owners care about their property. They keep up with maintenance and are trying to make the campground look nicer! Overall, would definitely recommend! Going to miss this place!

The pros: secluded spot at the end of the road, small beach area to swim & fish, trash cans to dispose of waste. There was a playground & basketball court towards the store (both were a little worn, but my son enjoyed them regardless. Balls & chalk were provided which was awesome) Cons: We did have a few people venture down to our campsite at various times which was kind of odd. Not sure how the staff could improve on that as most people seemed to just be exploring the property. I will say the people that did venture down during the day were kind, and respectful, but one was at 10pm, which startled us a little. Overall we will be coming back, probably with a few other "overland" friends. The "Primitive Spot A" was a gem, my son had a blast in the water. If you're looking for an "off-grid" experience around the Tidewater area, this is the place! Not sure about their other sites, but book Site A!

We were in the store twice and they comped my grandson with an ice cream cone each time! Had a problem emptying our rig.

The facilities looked great but we were off to dig for shark teeth. We will be visiting again and hope to do some fishing and visit the NC Estuarium in Washington.
