Staff friendly and helpful. COVID 19 restrictions in place. Assigned nightly site 18A. No electric/sewer/water issues. Campground was clean and tidy. Some road noise from main road outside campground. Nice stay; will stay again.

For Whispering Pines Campground: Campground Name: Whispering Pines Campground
Location: Newport, NC
Overall Campground Rating (1-5): 4
Maneuverability*: Backing into sites is easy enough but the campground is somewhat difficult to navigate due to one-way roads and a median you’re not supposed to drive over. For example, we had to drive a short distance the wrong way on a one-way road to get to our campsite. While parking at the laundry room, you have to leave and re-enter the campsite to get back to your site. We did, however, see plenty of other people driving the wrong way down one-way roads. Also, the one-ways roads are only noted as such on the campground map; there are no physical markings on the roads themselves.
Campground Notes: Very peaceful and quiet place near the OBX beaches. Brenda at the office was friendly. Majority of sites are permanent or seasonal, but the place still had a nice vibe. This place was better than we expected by other reviews we had read, and we will stay here again in the future.
Site #: 20B
Site Rating (1-5): 3
Site Notes: Very long site, can fit any length rig. Full hookups with 50 amp electric, stable voltages, and good water pressure. Site was pretty muddy after tropical storm Eta but no flooding. No trees so there was no shade but that was also a benefit during the storm. There was a nice picnic table and fire ring.
Amenity Rating (1-5): 4
Amenity Notes: Great playground equipment, nice lake with an island you can go out on, nice laundry room - $1.25w/$1.50d (although there was something in one of the machines that got on our clothes), pool looked nice but was closed for the season
Reason for camping here: Heading South and were looking for an alternative to Carolina Landing that had good internet for work, near the beach
Miscellaneous Notes: Great location - Proximity to multiple nice beaches, restaurants, groceries, etc.
Dates Stayed: 11/8/2020 – 11/15/2020, 7 days
Price Paid: $0, with Thousand Trails membership
Weather: Hit by tropical storm Eta with rain and wind, otherwise it was in the 70s during the day and 50s at night. Great weather for relaxing (but not swimming) at the beach.
Verizon Cell Quality**: Excellent cell service, 55.6 Mb/s download and 29.8 Mb/s upload

For Whispering Pines Campground: This should not be considered an RV park. Mostly full timers or residents. When you arrive at campground they give you a long list of rules.These rules do not apply to permanent residents like “no fireworks, no electric scooters, helmets required on children and speed limits. Daily sites are along main road in and I was glad we had no small children with us. Would not go back to this camp.
