What others are saying
Lake Phelps Campground is a great spot for a weekend getaway. Located near the second largest lake in North Carolina, the campground offers plenty of opportunities for swimming, fishing, kayaking, and other water activities. The lake is perfectly clear, and visitors can expect to catch a variety of fish, including large mouth bass and perch. The campsite is large and shady, and the office is within easy reach. The campground also has a back route to the campground from the refuge called Newlands Road, where visitors can spot wildlife like baby black bears. Amenities at the campground include fire rings with grills and firewood for a nominal fee, and a walkway to the lake along an irrigation canal. Additionally, there is a historic plantation nearby with home and exhibits, as well as a graveyard with a confederate flag. Visitors should be aware that the sites can be soft and weedy if wet, and that the restrooms are old and damp.

From The Campground

Pettigrew State Park is located in Washington and Tyrrell counties, showcasing the rich habitat of Lake Phelps and the Scuppernong River. It also embodies a rich history, from dugout canoes thousands of years old that have been dredged up from the lake, as well as the nearby Somerset Place, a State Historic Site that preserves a vast plantation worked by hundreds of enslaved Black Americans. The park offers camping, hiking, biking, paddling, swimming, fishing, and picnicking.
