From Havelock, NC, take US Rt. 70 north 3.2 miles to Neuse River Recreation Area sign (Flanners Beach Rd./State Rt. 1107). Turn right after sign onto Flanners Beach Rd. and go 1.6 miles to campground.
A beautiful relaxing place. Wish we could have went down to the beach. But safety first. Hope y'all call get it so people can get down to the beach soon.
Recently we went down to the Neuse River Recreation area and took a walk ~~ a very long one ~~ we walked all over!!
We took note the park service was in process of recovering the area from the winter season. The trails were trimmed quite and they were completing a controlled burning.
There was also a general renovation of the site with more picnic tables laid out and the restroom facilities recently upgraded.
It was great camping. Wish they would fix everything so that we could have beach access again. If short on help perhaps try get other people involved.
A decent place for a picnic but the National Forest Service has had the beach closed for years apparently since a hurricane washed out the stairs. Instead of just fixing the accessibility issues they've built a giant fence and fight to keep people from accessing the beach.
This is a nice enough place and worth a visit. It would be much better if there was some kind of beach access to the river. It seems strange to have a campground right along the river but no access to it.
