A new campground at Hammocks Beach State Park will be tentatively opening on Labor Day following a ribbon-cutting in August.
The new 22-site campground, which will be called Simmons Mainland Campground, and will be located on the former Simmons FFA campsite, according to the Swansboro Area Chamber of Commerce.
The ribbon cutting will happen on Saturday, August 10.
According to the Swansboro Area Chamber of Commerce, “the layout of the 8-acre campground will afford campers views of Queens Creek and the wooded areas that border the four cabins, 12 RV hook-ups, three primitive and seven non-electrical sites. There is a common bathhouse with showers and toilets for men and women. Each site has an outdoor, steel fire pit for cooking and or burning wood. RV hook-up sites will rent for $36 per night while non-electric sites will cost campers $26 per night.
The four cabins—named Trout, Mullet, Flounder and Red Drum—can accommodate up to six people with a large bed in the front room with two sets of bunk beds in the rear portion of the climate-controlled cabin. Each cabin will be rented for $78 per night.
Campers will be able to make reservations online at https://www.ncparks.gov/state-parks/hammocks-beach-state-park.”
