Pelicans rest
Pelican’s Rest was such a beautiful and peaceful spot for camping right on the water! I had a blast fishing off the dock and my dog had a great time splashing around in the water. I bought 2 bundles of wood and had more than enough to make campfire dinner and breakfast. Having the house with running water nearby was practically glamping! I wish I had stayed longer!

10/10 - Will be coming back!
Camping here was a great experience! The breeze from the waterway always keep you cool even in NC heat. The cabin on the property has a full bathroom, fridge, sink, and 3 beds. We slept in our tent the first night but, the weather during our second night permitted us to sleep in the cabin. The firewood we bought from the hosts burned all night and smelled great! If you are looking to get away from everything, this is the place to go. Be sure to overpack when coming here as the closest store is about a 20 minute drive. We will definitely be coming back here!

Great place with a great view! House with bathroom could use a little work to make it a bit more stable but extremely convenient to have a bathroom and a shower close by! Highly recommend for some time of peace & quiet!

We had a great time camping right by the water! Beautiful views and good fishing. We even caught a 23 inch red fish right from the banks of where we were camping :)

Peaceful and secluded campsite
We had a great night camping here. The host showed us to a spot tucked away in the woods with a long and wide clearing enough for multiple vehicles. It was very private and accessible. We were camping away from the water but it was still enjoyable watching the stars and listening to the woods. We bought a bundle of firewood from the host and they even supplied a metal barrel to have a campfire in. The woods is very dense so it’s difficult to walk through but the cleared out paths are fine to walk up and down. Would love to come back and camp again.

The camp site was awesome. Perfect location for us on the water and will definitely come back. The hosts were very accommodating and very responsive. Our kids and pups had a great time. Will be back soon!
