The Lakes RV Resort is a quiet and beautifully maintained place to stay. Everything feels new, clean, and thoughtfully designed.

Everything feels new, clean, and thoughtfully designed. The virtual check in process was incredibly smooth which allowed us to simply drive directly to our site when we arrived. The convenience alone made a great first impression. Walking trails wind through the property and give you a peaceful place to stretch your legs and enjoy the surroundings. A special highlight of our stay was being there on the weekend they treated all guests to an oyster roast. It created such a fun and welcoming atmosphere. Overall, The Lakes RV Resort is a relaxing and easy choice for anyone looking for comfort, quiet, and a few memorable surprises along the way.

We had a lovely 4nights stay at this campground. Everything is new, clean and convenient. The place is very peaceful and quite. There's a luxury of space between each campsite. The best part of this campground is the walking trail which we enjoyed walking every morning. Our only wish is a consideration to install a jumping pillow for kids entertainment. Overall, this park is beautiful, an hour... We had a lovely 4nights stay at this campground. Everything is new, clean and convenient. The place is very peaceful and quite.

We absolutely love camping here! We have had two visits (Holiday weekends) and are coming back this upcoming weekend. The location is beautiful - the grounds are well-maintained. The trails are great for walking, biking and jogging. The ability to rent a kayak for no additional charge is wonderful, as well! The front office truly makes everything an easy experience, and the ladies are wonderful to... We absolutely love camping here!

The ability to rent a kayak for no additional charge is wonderful, as well! The front office truly makes everything an easy experience, and the ladies are wonderful to stop by and chat with. On Holiday weekends, our kids love running off in a safe space with their friends, to get into all the activities that are put on, or to enjoy the pool. We will definitely continue to visit!

We spent a beautiful day/night with friends at The Lakes. We stayed in one of the cabins and I found them to be comfortable and roomier than I expected. Kids enjoyed the pool and the bathrooms were well kept. Kids also braved the lake and jumped in at the swimming spot. The campground is still a work in progress and I look forward to the clubhouse and boat launch they have planned. While I did... We spent a beautiful day/night with friends at The Lakes.

While I didn't use a tent site, I would like to see the tent sites more defined, to add privacy and perhaps shade. I don't know if there are plans to do more with the swimming/beach area; currently the area is very simple.

What a beautiful RV Resort. RV spaces are larger than normal and we were backed in the row next to the lake. Full hookups, pool, bath house, dog fenced area. Great firepit evenings next to the lake. Great walking trails for around two of the three lakes. The staff was great? Easy in and out. 30 minutes to Emerald Isle, 10 to 30 minutes to great trails in Croatan National Forest, game land, 30 m... What a beautiful RV Resort.
