Cedar Island RV Park

We stayed here the first week of April and absolutely loved it. If you like quiet, remote stays where you get to enjoy a natural beach, this is it. Campground was not crowded so I can’t speak for what it’s like in more peak season. We stayed on one of the bay sites. They were doing some construction (making improvements) but we weren’t bothered by it. On the bay sites you back right up to the water which we loved. We did drive in to Beaufort and Morehead to shop and eat a couple times.

Stayed here for the weekend and loved it! It was quiet and peaceful. Their beach was perfect even at the end of January. Did a 90 min horse back ride for my daughter's 18 birthday. Horses are well taken care of. Gentle and perfect for all ages. Cowboy Jeremy was the best guide ever! He talked to us. Told us very stories.listen to us tell stories. I will definitely be returning in the future!! We stayed in their motel . It was clean and spacious. I like the coded doors and no key to keep up with. Everything was short walk to get too. Definitely worth coming back !

Stayed here at the end of March 2023, we stayed Thursday in the motel and Friday in the campground. The motel looks to be fully renovated. Very fresh and new feeling. The room was super clean. I really love this spot, I hope they open the restaraunt. Kind of bummed we could not get food there. The campground was great, clean showers and toilets.

This place is a hidden gem. No it doesn’t have a pool; it has the sound (no waves)
No it doesn’t have a putt putt; it has horse back riding, kayak rentals; and a great place to fish.
They even have a enclosed area for your dogs to play.
The restaurant located adjacent to the campground is very tasty; friendly; and lots of fun. Thursday evening was trivia night and it was fun. The staff is super friendly.
The campsites are numbered. You have to find a picnic table from a vacant site but I noticed where some tables were numbered with the site so this may change soon.
Fire pits are the same way however we made and took our own.
There are wild cows that come through the night it is fun to search for them( I never found any) however I did get them on a time lapse video.
All the campers seemed very friendly.

We will definitely be going back. Hopefully for two weeks next time.

The ferry is located in close proximity to the campground that takes you to Ocracoke. We didn’t go this time because we were having to much fun however a good day trip to be had!

Make reservations for the horse back riding as it was booked up for our stay.

The bathhouse could use fans or even a/c as it got a bit warm in there but it was definitely clean!!!

We had a great stay and hope you do too.

We took an RV out here at the beginning of June and I absolutely LOVED every minute of it. You're so close to the beach. You can walk to it but we chose to drive on the beach. I dont know if there is a beach permit required, I couldn't find anything online about Cedar Island beaches. The water is shallow for a long time so its great for little kids and just sitting your chair down in the water. No worry about currents or rip tides bc its barely 2 ft deep. There is no shade in site 56, however there is a tree closer to site 50 that offers some shade. We were right on the bay, which has a great breeze. It was too windy to have the awning out. But when there isn't a breeze the bugs are super bad. The greenhead flies are also bad during this time. There are tent site near the horse stable and practically on the beach. The wild horses were right next to the tents. That was so cool to see. I did the sunrise ride with Dori and that was phenomenal. Highly recommend it. You can see the wild horses and cattle. You get to cross over a shallow channel onto another island. Make sure to bring closed toe shoes for the ride. The wifi didn't reach our area, but our phones had great service the whole time. Typical rv park with bathhouse and laundry. There is a restaurant on site that's got two pool tables inside and the food was great.

Great Place to stay. Private beach!!! Dori was fantastic. Went horse back riding on the beach - one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. Did the sunset ride and just turned out we had Dori all to ourselves!!!! only draw back to the campground was the Flys!!! posting this late. we were there in early October.

We just spent 4 days here and loved it! Staff was very friendly and helpful. New owners just took over and are doing lots of improvements. They offer horseback riding and have a great beach access. Its a hidden gem. Bring food! There is a restaurant which was good, but other than the small general store down the road there isn't much for shopping. Bring a fishing pole too! Take the ferry to Ocracoke! Make reservations for the ferry, times fill up quickly. Enjoy your visit!

It was an amazing weekend after thanksgiving. Super quiet and Sunsets and sunrises that would blow your mind. I enjoyed the entire campground and plan to go back. These are taken from my cell phone.

Looking for a quiet place to park an RV or camper, and enjoy a beautiful stretch of beach, gorgeous views, the sounds of birds and horses all around you? Look no further. Now I'll be honest, we were skeptical when we first arrived. There are some rather aged and rough looking trailers that look permanent, the sites are bare minimum, and you aren't promised a picnic table or fire circle on your site. However, a very warm welcome by the owner, working water and electric, and a perfectly fine dump station, what else do you need? The campsite has a great little dog park, kids playground, kayaks to rent, horses to ride on the beach, and is a short walk to the ferry, beach, and a boat ramp. The campground was clean, and we had zero issues with noise, neighbors, or dogs. There was a wonderfully sweet and beautiful yellow lab that seemed to roam freely on the grounds ( and watching him make a wild dash into the pound to swim after the geese was an hysterical joy our first morning!), but he was completely harmless. He honestly just wanted to sniff the world, totally not interested in interacting with us at all. My only suggestion would be to drop the name resort. When folks see resort, they expect landscaping, greenery, perfectly manicured lawns. The phone message states rustic, and that's what you will get. We absolutely loved our stay there, so much so we extended our stay another night, and we will absolutely be back.

Very nice I must say. All amenities available and the view is to die for. The beach is so warm and clean and you can walk the length of a football field into the ocean and it only comes to your knees. So peaceful

quiet campground with just enough to do...or not. Kayaking, horseback riding on the beach, beautiful wide open beach on the bay. Perfect for social distancing...not crowded at all. right next to the Ocracoke Ferry.

Love this place!! 2nd time back since we discovered last month going to Ocracoke.
Beaches Rock! Nice spot on the bay. The pub across the street hand a live band on Saturday night! Real friendly people in camp ground. Supper safe for families!!

I Have camped at Cedar island 4 times. The staff are very friendly and will do anything to make the stay better. There is great beach access and has a very safe area on the beach for kids to play. There are lots of sandbars. The camp sites have plenty of space and they are reasonably priced.

Such a neat place. Horses 🐎 Beach ⛱ Ferry ⛴ Camping 🏕 Dog Park 🐕 Children's playground. Quiet, secluded. A great place to unwind and spend time with your family!! We definitely loved this place. ❤ can't wait to go back!!

The beach was very beautiful and private. We spent most of the week just enjoying the scenery and loving being unplugged! Can't wait to come back.....

First, making the reservation was so easy and the room was just the right price. Second, I was running late and they texted me the room number and key code. Lastly, the room was clean and neat. Looks like they renovated the room. Simple, clean and neat. The room does need a lamp on the bedside table. Other than that, fantastic.
The hotel is literally next to the line to get on the ferry.
Would be great if there was a small store or restaurant there to get some food.
I would definitely recommend this for a night's stay. Not sure what a week there would be like.

Beautiful views! Serene place with as much or as little as you want to do. Relax or be active with horseback riding, hiking, or kayaking. A hidden gem!

Talk about awesome! This place has so much to offer campers who are truly interested in getting away from the hustle and bustle of resort camping. It is very secluded and rustic. It is definitely a hidden gem on the water that offers good wholesome things to do in coastal nature. We took the sunrise horseback ride on the beach with Dori and Hannah as our guides. This was one of the best experiences we've ever had ! It was breathtaking and the guides are super cool! The beach is pristine and natural with nothing added to commercialize it. Wild horses and cows roam the islands freely. It's just an amazing sight. Sites are very reasonably priced for waterfront camping with full hookups.
If you are looking for night life and a party atmosphere with lots of noise, DO NOT come here. If the earth is flat, I'm pretty sure you just fall off the edge here because you are really secluded and away from the busy beach crowd. There's no waterslide
or pool or arcade. Kids actually play
outside and fish from their campsite.
Call Dori and make a reservation. You will not regret it !

A beautiful experience for the whole family. We look forward to coming back soon!

It's a beautiful place to visit a place to wind down it has a good view of the water wild horses and cows come visit you it does have power and water and hookups for your sewage it's a great place
