Dixon Landing RV Resort

28 RV Sites

Dixon Landing RV Resort in Grantsboro, North Carolina, offers 28 RV sites across 130 wooded acres on Goose Creek, with 20, 30, and 50-amp water-and-electric service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 70 feet. Deluxe waterfront and waterview 30/50-amp categories join a standard tier, with a recreation center, walking trails, and pond. Twenty-eight sites span 30/50-amp deluxe waterfront, 30/50-amp standard, and 30/50-amp waterview categories, carrying water and electric, sized to 70 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Plan around the hookups — sites carry water and electric but not sewer, so manage tank capacity and use the dump station. Accessible sites are available, and two of three categories touch the water. Seventy feet accommodates a long coach with a tow. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and recycling handle the practical side. A recreation center, walking trails, pond, dog park, corn hole, and picnicking fill the grounds, with boating, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing on the creek and genuinely productive birding through the surrounding forest. Pets are welcome. More than 2,000 feet of creek frontage opening toward the broad Neuse River estuary gives the property real waterfront substance. Pamlico County sits on the Inner Coastal Plain about 20 minutes from Oriental, the sailing capital of North Carolina, with New Bern's historic district and the Croatan National Forest close and the Outer Banks reachable to the east. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable coastal plain conditions and the best birding, with summer drawing boating traffic. Reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends.
