If you only camp once in your life, make it Cedar Island Ranch. Here, you can ride a horse along miles of undeveloped beach that hasn’t changed since long before the Spanish explorers set eyes on it. Rent kayaks, paddle boards or canoes, go fishing or have a romantic weekend on the beach. We’re open year-round for your vision of a family vacation paradise or a perfect honeymoon. We’re open year-round. Bring your home or stay in the comfort of our 2-bedroom Suites or beautifully renovated Motel Rooms. Most RV sites have ocean or bay views – 17 are directly on the bay water. Twelve pull-through sites directly face Cedar Island beach with fantastic views. Our RV park has 61 spaces with water plus 30- and 50-amp electric service. When the guests ask, we provide. So, we’ve got everything you need for an unequaled coastal experience right here. The Cedar Island Ferry terminal to Ocracoke Island and on to Cape Hatteras is right at our doorstep. You’ll have free Wi-Fi, clean bathroom facilities, and an enthusiastic, knowledgeable staff to help. Bring your boat. We have a private ramp and a state ramp into deep water and Atlantic access.

Tent - Wooded
This was a really cool camping place. It was clean and felt very safe. There was a nice bath house with hot shower. There isn't much shade even on the wooded sites so bring your own. I will definitely go back :)

Camp on the Beach
We loved this camp ground. The bathrooms were cleaned 3x a day, they always smelled and looked like they had just cleaned. The staff is wonderful and cordial. The best part is the camp ground has a private beach access. There’s campsites availability right on the beach. The beach has shallow waters which is wonderful for families and small kids. This is a hidden gem.

The Perfect Place
We absolutely loved Cedar Island Ranch! The staff was very helpful and incredibly kind. The campsite was the perfect size and right on the water. We fished, kayaked, and even rode the horses. Atlantic Beach was a short drive away and we took the ferry to Ocracoke Island for a day. While on Cedar Island, it was like having our own private beach. It was the most peaceful and relaxing vacation we have had in years!

Beautiful stay
This is a cute place to stay if you want off the beaten path, or if you are a traveler needing a place to rest while you island hop the nc coast. Rooms were clean,staff was super friendly, the horses were beautiful, boating is easy,fishing is easy, the north beach is a clean shallow "beach" for wade fishing and kiddos swimming. Summertime you don't see the wild cows or horses so if that's your goal, make sure to book in fall and spring when the waters are down. Hopefully there is a food option on the ranch again soon, a good bait and tackle spot on the ranch would have been nice also. Taking the ferry over to ocracoke be sure to make reservations to and from for the car or plan to rent a bike to get to the beach as you can't take a golf cart to the beaches there.
