Amazing views
Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.
Learn more about this land: Camp directly on the Neuse River! The views are incredible. Relax on the porch swing, swim off the sandy beach. Mins to Oriental and Minnesott Ferry. When we first saw this property we fell in love with it and we hope you can enjoy this little piece of heaven too.  Originally we put in the additional site for friends and family to enjoy and then we found Hipcamp and thought, why not? What I love about the property is the water.  It's so relaxing listening to the waves and looking out across the river watching the boats, birds, or dolphins with fish jumping and crab fishermen re-setting their pots.  Cherry Point is not far away and we have been delighted by an impromptu fireworks show or a plane fly-by.   Oriental is a small town full of sailboats and the town has a lot going on.  They have a website called Towndock to see what's happening.   You can grab a coffee or ice cream at The Bean, stroll down the waterfront looking at the boats, and drop a line off the fishing pier.  There are some great local restaurants and even a Brewery that hosts food trucks and music on the weekends.  You will not be in the middle of nowhere as there is a grocery store, a marine store and a dollar general to pick up supplies. The Minnesott Ferry (free) is a 10-minute drive and you can get to Beaufort, NC or Atlantic Beach in about an hour. Welcome!   Cara Extra Info: The camping spot is a pull-in along a shared driveway with my neighbor and so you will be perpendicular to the river, but camping is all about being outdoors and there is the yard, picnic table,  and beach to share.  We haven't put a firepit in yet, but we plan to.  When leaving, you would need to back out, but there is a driveway across the street so there is plenty of room.  The reservation will be dependent on the rainfall so I don't have the instant book feature turned on.  Because parking is on the grass, if it's really wet, you could get stuck and nobody wants that. Camp directly on the Neuse River!

Our second trip to Key Stone Camp was even better than the first. Weather was sunny with a nice breeze from the river. The water was a little choppy but the local Wildlife ramp is just around the block to put in the kayak and paddle up Dawson's creek. The Janeiro area is a that perfect quiet place to relax by the river. Oriental is just a few miles up the road for groceries or exploring the small harbor town. Thanks again Cara and Jason!!

Great location, beautiful view peaceful and quiet. Right on the river but if you want to go to the beach it’s a fun easy trip to get there. Ferry ride is free.

Camping at the beach
This is our second year coming to this spot with our own little private beach. We enjoyed tubing in the river and walking around Oriental. The small town is very friendly with great restaurants. Our son couldn’t stop fishing and caught many. Thank you Cara and J. for having us! Christian & Alana.

The host Cara is very accommodating and she provided good directions and instructions on how to access the site. It is a nice location near the beautiful village/ town of Oriental, NC. The site is along the Neuse river water front with beautiful sunrise views. However, the site is narrow and must be accessed by driving the RV forward onto the site (i.e., not back-in).

Beautiful setting! Nice level campsite right on the river, and a couple of miles to the cute town of Oriental NC. Perfect spot for a nice getaway. We hope to be back soon!
