Pelican Point RV Park

A tiny RV park, that's clean and level and easy to get to. Absolutely worth the value.

Have to say this is a great RV park! The sites are level, concrete, and have plenty of space between them. The electric was steady and the water was clean. The CATV worked great but we did not get any decent wifi but there was plenty of cell service. The park guests were amazing but I have to say the park staff was even more amazing and helpful. The installation itself has everything you need except for diesel fuel as far as I could tell. There is a gym and pool within walking distance of the park as well. A big plus there is a great VFW within a couple miles of Slocum Gate, Post 7315.

This was our first time out with our new 23-foot travel trailer, and we spent three nights. MCAS Cherry Point is near Havelock, NC, midwayish between New Bern and Atlantic Beach/Morehead City (which is on the NC Coast). Please note that this campground is on a military base and is available only to Military (Active, Reserve, NG, Retired) and Department of Defense employees. Enter at either 1) the main gate off of US-70 onto Roosevelt Blvd or 2) Slocum Ave gate off of US-70. Proceed down Roosevelt Blvd for about 3.9 miles to Monroe Dr. Turn left at sign to Pelican Point RV Park and Marina. Turn left into the RV Park. Office is on the left. ---- NOTE!!! The Main Gate has an overhead height of 13'6". We used the Slocum Gate. Because we arrived on a Sunday and during the weekend of a Federal Holiday, we checked in with the camp host (who was located in space #23) and registered/paid when the staff returned on Tuesday. The spaces are fairly roomy and most of them can be pulled-through (although they are paved for back-in). The amenities were as stated, and were in good condition. We spent our days visiting the coast and going into New Bern, but we found the campground to be quite peaceful (except of course, this is a Marine Corps air base, so we did hear a lot of aircraft (F-18, CV-22, etc.) flying overhead. The main base is just a few miles down the road, with an Exchange, Commissary, and other typical military base resources.

Very nice, quiet, well cared-for park. Sites are pretty level with full hookups. Exchange and Commissary are close by. The base facilities are typical and a lot of construction is currently going on. Boat launches are close. Nice bathrooms/shower stalls. Nice laundry facilities. That being said, the surrounding town doesn't offer much in the way of restaurants, although a few were not bad, so New Bern is probably a better choice if you want a decent place to eat. Also, there is an aggressive police presence, so watch your speed on the base. But this is supposed to be about the park. My wife and I enjoyed this park very much. It is one of the nicest we have stayed at and will definitely go again. The only real downside we had is absolutely no wifi available. We haven't picked up a hotspot yet and have no desire to purchase StarLink or other satellite system. Otherwise, most other places in the country could take lessons in park care from these folks.

This is a pretty new and very nice campground. You can walk to the water to fish or crab too. Havelock doesn't have much to do but there are tons to see and due in New Bern, Beaufort, Morehead City and Atlantic Beach.

Easy access to either Slocum Gate or the Main Gate. Nice long double-wide, level sites. Clean and well-maintained. We had site #1. It was very windy during our stay, so the sites along the trees (23-30) were less windy. The bathhouse and laundry facilities (4 washers and 4 dryers) were immaculate. There is a small boat ramp just a couple minutes’ drive from the campground, which puts you into Slocum Creek – a great waterway to go kayaking and fishing. It was a quiet park, but not much going on in Havelock. You must travel to the coast, about a 30-40 minute drive from the campground, for any decent grocery/retail stores, restaurants and activities. The North Carolina Maritime Museum in Beaufort was interesting and worth the drive. New Bern is a bit closer, and has some stores and restaurants as well.

I hesitated leaving this review only because more people will want to use this park making it more difficult for me to go back, LOL! This is a gem - beautiful RV park and close to the great beaches of NC. Lori the host is wonderful and accommodating.

Stopped for an overnight stay on our way south. Was not prepared for the wonderful welcome or the pristine condition of all facilities. Small park, but exceptional y well laid out and equipped. This is now a destination stop for us. Beats most commercial/private parks we've stayed at. We stayed in a 44 ft 5th wheel. Spacious, level concrete pad and truly manicured lawns. You can tell the staff and long term residents here take great pride in the park. Easy access to the MCX mini mart and not too much farther to the main MCX and Commissary. Only very minor gripe is they do not have diesel at the service station. Use the Slocum Rd gate and you can't go wrong.

We stayed at Pelican Point while visiting our son and family who live in Beaufort. It was a great experience with friendly staff and clean, well-kept facilities. We will stay here again when the opportunity arises.

We stayed at pelican point in 2015 and I loved it. One of the best military campgrounds we have stayed at. I love the bathrooms and the laundry facility was clean with plenty of machines. The bathrooms are awesome because they are individual rooms that include: toilet, sink and shower. Plus, there are little heaters to use while showering when it’s cold out and I loved that option. All sites were level and clean. The area was well manicured and the lady at check in was friendly and funny.

Beautiful campground. Very well kept. Bath and showers exceptional. Sights are big and very well layed out. It's a small park only 30 sights but spaces are available we had no trouble getting in. Ms Lori was very pleasant and helpful. Fishing facilities within walking distance, A nice view of the river and base facilities only minutes away. Easy access from Hwy 70.
