The Refuge on Roanoke Island

My wife and I were the week before Memorial Day 2018. We both enjoyed the stay even though it rained the first two days. It is very quiet anytime of day or night and I enjoyed walking the board walks around the pond and over the swamp.

This is a no frills RV park. We never saw or met anyone that works there. We only spoke on the phone to make the reservation. There is road noise from Hwy 345 but it’s not terrible. The park is mostly long term with 14 or so sites for daily rental. Some of the long term sites were a bit neglected but overall not too bad. All daily sites back up to a pond and are all back-in. Sites are gravel/sand. There is a small strip of “grass” between sites and no privacy. They are pretty insistent that you don’t park on the grass – as sparse as it is. We along with other visitors had to park our tow vehicles sideways (avoiding the grass of course) to fit in the spot. Sites are in the open and there is no shade. The WII FI works ok but slows down considerably at times. Luckily, there is no password as we received no information on the park – we had to hunt for a trash bin. Directv worked fine. Verizon was strong at 4g 4/5 bars. Pretty pricey for what you get even in the off season. We might return again but only because the park is close to family.

We stayed here because we were attending a wedding at Vista Creek. Only a mile from the venue and so peaceful! The water view was relaxing and the manager Ron was always accessible.

Very dog friendly with several spots for them!

We would definitely stay again as a vacation spot!
