Cedar Point Campground and Recreation Area is located in eastern North Carolina at the junction of the White Oak River and the Bogue Sound, immediately adjacent to the Swansboro Inlet. It is within 1 mile of full service shopping, and within 2 miles of NC's Crystal Coast and the barrier island beach community of Bogue Banks.
Canoeing and fishing are popular options. Power boating is allowed on the White Oak River.
Visitors can hike the Tidelands National Trail, a 1.9-mile path divided in two loops that lend themselves to wildlife viewing. Ospreys and the occasional dolphin can be viewed along the loops.
The recreation area is also home to a picnic area and shallow draft boat launch.
The campground has 36 accessible sites with full electrical service (20/30/50 amps). A modern, state-of-the-art bath house is available, with private, hot showers. Accessible flush toilets, drinking water and a dump station are also provided.
Cedar Point, at the mouth of the White Oak River, is bordered by a salt marsh and a coastal forest. The salt marsh, where fresh water meets salt water, stretches out like a sea of grass. This nutrient-rich wetland is a valuable habitat for commercial seafood, including fish, shrimp, crabs and oysters.
The recreation area is part of the Croatan National Forest, a 160,000-acre tract on North Carolina's coast, bordered on three sides by tidal rivers and Bogue Sound.
The campground is a short drive from the developed barrier island town of Bogue Banks.

Camping lots were very close to one another. Host was a bit rude with one tire of our vehicle in the grass, made a point to come by and “ask not to park on his grass.” Much more RV friendly. Other campers were lovely and respectful. We left the first morning. Likely never returning. Keep the $62 and go some place else if you want to pitch a tent and not see anyone but who you came with.
The sites were nice and spacious, good distance between other sites. Picnic table and a fire pit on the sites. Showers were so so, I've seen better. If your gonna tent camp make sure and have good tent spikes, If not you are gonna be in trouble.
Nice quiet campground close to a nice walking trail. Shower & and restrooms either no hot water at all or a garden hose in the sun temp. Yes, they sucked!!
We've been going here for years. As far as a quiet, relaxing environment, it's an 8. Not being right on the water is a bit of a bummer but you can walk there if you choose. This isn't a campground with frills. The cleanliness of the bathrooms is okay but not consistent from day to day. You have to fill your water tanks before you settle in but the bathroom is close if you have to make your own water before you can get everything setup! 🤭 For the older crowd, it's a place to step away from the hustle and bustle. We love the area and look forward to going back next year.
