Pettigrew State Park Campground

This place has only 13 sites so it doesn’t feel so crowded like some other popular camping places. One side of the loop ( with bathroom) is much less private, you park and camp next to your neighbor. This side is all grassy, so there were lots of mosquitoes. Toilet doesn’t flush super well, had to press and hold the button for a while. Overall, it’s a nice quiet place to stay after enjoying the be... This place has only 13 sites so it doesn’t feel so crowded like some other popular camping places.

We loved camping and hiking here! The old growth cypress, sycamore, and other huge trees are amazing. The 2.8 miles walk to mocassin overlook was worth it, but we discovered the trail is right by the road almost the whole way there. We didn't spend much time at the lake. It was windy the first day, and the water looked terrible. Other days it looked better, but it was too cool for us to try swimmi... We loved camping and hiking here!

We used this as a base for visiting the outer banks, alligator river, and merchants millpond. It was quiet and peaceful!

What a little hidden treasure of a NC State Campground! Only a dozen or so sites, but we were able to book a Saturday site online just a day in advance in late August. Site #2 is VERY shaded. There are well maintained and cleaned toilets and showers, a dish washing area, water spout and phone charging sockets (at the toilet block).

There are well maintained and cleaned toilets and showers, a dish washing area, water spout and phone charging sockets (at the toilet block). There's Somerset House next door (a historical plantation site that's well worth touring) and a swimming area along the boardwalk near the campground. Oh, and there's a boat ramp/jetties - great for star gazing over lake Phelps. All for just $26 a night! Do pack your bug spray.
