Tips from campers about Williamsburg RV & Camping Resort

  JRLooney Go visit Bath, NC - a short drive down the road. It is North Carolina's first town/port and many old buildings still stand. Further down the road you can take the ferry across the Pamlico to Aurora, NC. Visit the fossil museum there and dig in the pits across the street where you can easily find shark's teeth and fossils all day long. Bring plenty of bug spray and/or a screen tent in the summer months.

  KathyMcP There are about 8 miles of nice trails in the state park. The maps and trail signs are Incomplete! The trails are not completely marked! Make sure you know how to get back to your vehicle. We are experienced hikers and had to call rescue Ranger Melanie to come find us when we were backtracking for a long time, searching our trail, and it got too dark to see. She was terrific and said this was the most confusing part of their trail system and they have to rescue people often. Would be a great scout project to correctly mark and put up adequate trail signs. But all trails are easy and have many rewarding aspects/ river views, etc. We enjoyed historic Bath-- very small National Historic District old town. Also Washington's waterfront area is well done along the historic Pamlico River front. The North Carolina estuarium was worth the $5 admission and time spent, teaches about the natural aspects of NC estuary area. We had good She- crab soup, fried oysters, and clams at Washington Crab. Great bakery in Washington, Rachel K's.

  Where_Next Bath historical site is 8 miles away and the first incorporated town in NC. Nice museum /visitor center and walking tour of the town and a few restored buildings. Washington ( know locally as Little Washington ) is west of the campground about 12 miles with Walmart, restaurants and other small city amenities. The NC Estuarium is located on the bank of the Pamlico River and a well worthwhile visit for $ 5 per person. If looking for a lunch option, we can recommend "Down on Main" that is a few blocks from the Estuarium.
