Holiday Trav-L-Park Resort

Friendly staff, a good place to bring family, pets, friends to the beach. One of the nicest parks I’ve been to at the beach.

We stayed here for the 4^th and had a blast. It was our first time staying here and we were treated like friends. The staff was amazing, the grounds were very well maintained and there were so many events and things to do. There was even a parade for the 4^th. We had the best family vacation here and were so impressed. I know we will be back next year!

Extemely clean and maintained. All the staff was very nice and welcoming. We loved the fact that they have a very nice concession stand with great hotdogs, ice cream and snacks surprisingly priced reasonably. The concession stand was convenient from the beach or campground. They even provide stations for plastic hand baggies to clean up after your pet waste and then places to dispose of it including recycling stations for plastic bottles, etc. The park has on location go cart track, arcade and swimming pool. The rv park was safe and had good security measures. We will definitely be back again.

Very disappointed, they do not publish their rates on line. When I asked for a quote, they would not provide it in writing, I had to call. When I did call, I received an outrageous price that is NOT in line with other camping facilities of like or kind. 50.00 per night, mid week, off peak, for a TENT site? I was looking forward to taking our girl scout troop there after the great reviews, however… this is price inflation. Your held hostage to a phone call and whe whim of who ever answers for rates. If your on the up and up, you publish your rates and it’s fair and square for everyone. They will not get my business.

For 6 years now, hubby and I have been visiting Holday Trav-​L-​Park Resort for camping at the beach. We tent camp so we don’t have a fancy RV or big rig that we wheel in for our home away from home so I feel that my review is real in that we use more of the facilities offered by the resort than most.
The camp is set up beachside at Emerald Isle. I’m not what I would call a true camper in that I have to have bath facilities while camping. HTP has the cleanest bath facilities I have ever seen. They are a/c’d, cleaned by staff twice a day, and I actually enjoy showering in them.
The grounds are set up with tent camper area (with or without electric), then the areas for pop-​up campers, RV’s, big rigs, and mini-​trailers that stay year round. HTP has a pool, and a gazeebo area on the beach where there is a snack bar and at night, there is often live music. Near the front of the park, there is a covered-​mini-​ampitheatre where often times live music will be held and on Sundays in season there is church. (a bit awkwward for me while I am sunning at the beach, but whatev floats your boat).
This place prides itself on cleanliness and friendliness. They welcome dogs which is nice and it is a great walking area for them. HTP is surrounded by beach retail shops by foot, local restaurants, and a greenway trail that takes you from the park to the Bogue Inlet pier, if you choose to take the route that is not on the beach.
I read Amy A’s review and was shocked. This past weekend we were surrounded in the tent area by all races: black and hispanic. There were no problems and we all enjoyed ourselves. I am hoping that Amy’s case was a bad seed resident ruining it for the bunch. Anytime we have had complaints about music playing late or lights on that shine into the tent, etc we have told the staff and it is taken care of.
I highly recommend the park for a beach getaway if you are looking to save money and do it the camping style!

My family has been camping here for 25+ years. Immaculate facilities and camping grounds. Always something fun to do for every age. This is my favorite place ever! Keep up the great work, HTP! Thank you for the best memories and knowing how to do it right!
