New Bern, North Carolina Campground

Welcome to North Carolina's Finest Camping on the Neuse River!

Nestled on the tranquil banks of the Neuse River and minutes from historic downtown New Bern, this quiet campground is the perfect setting for a peaceful retreat. Enjoy a day of fishing or watch a beautiful sunset from the 100-foot pier. The boat slips, ramp, kayaks and paddleboats welcome campers who yearn to get out on the water. A catch-and-release fish pond and a group-outings pavilion round out this haven for extended relaxation. The kids can enjoy our playground with a jump pad & swing set. New to our campground is our Gem Mine and Gaga Ball. Browse the many antique shops and boutiques in North Carolina's second-oldest city. Step into the past at Tryon Palace Historic Sites & Gardens, the former state capitol, historically regarded as the most beautiful public building in Colonial America. Pool: May 1 - October 1. Max pull thru: 128 feet. Your host: Pat Holtzclaw.

One of the best KOA RV camping resorts in the country. 1) very clean park…when someone leaves they ACTUALLY come and clean the sites. 2) restrooms, showers and laundry clean and in great shape... 6/15/2021

First time using KOA. Everything went smoothly. 6/17/2021

Great KOA - easily one of the nicest we have stayed at, and we have traveled all over the U.S. so we know what is good! 6/17/2021

We love the New Bern KOA. This stay we were in the small deluxe cabin and we were not impressed. The AC is not good and our children were REALLY hot at night. I would not recommend the small deluxe cabins. 6/16/2021

This was our second time staying here at this KOA and they are always friendly and accommodating! The facilities are very well keep and very clean! 6/16/2021

Staff was very nice and helpful. Kid friendly park. Very well maintained. One of the best KOA parks we have stayed at. 6/16/2021

By far one of the best KOA’s we ever stayed at. Friendly service, cleanliness, accessibility. Everything looks new from the paved roads to the laundry area, And pool furniture. Great for walking and biking too. 6/16/2021

Very nice and clean. Great laid out campground. 6/16/2021

Staff was awesome, lots to do! Great Part, will be back. If anything could be said to help, I would say add a little more gravel to slot 88 picnic table area to help with the black mud, but other than that was a awesome stay!! 6/15/2021

Awesome clean beautiful campground. Best KOA I have ever visited! 6/14/2021

Very clean and well maintained park. Lots of fun activities for families. 6/14/2021

Everything was great except being in a buddy site with no buddy, so we had strangers parked with us which was uncomfortable. 6/14/2021

We had a tent site #2 and it was perfect! Will be back. 6/14/2021

Clean and staff are friendly. 6/14/2021
