Dispersed camping along the White Oak River provides boat launch access within Croatan National Forest. Long Point Boat Launch operates under US Forest Service management, offering drive-in access for campers with their own equipment. The site lacks developed amenities like restrooms or water hookups.
Campers use this location primarily for water-based recreation, with the boat ramp serving anglers and paddlers exploring the coastal river system. Haywood Landing Recreation Site sits 1.6 miles north for those wanting additional Forest Service options. The dispersed format means campers select their own spots within designated areas and pack out all waste.
