Pilot Houses

River views, tranquility and perfect for weekend getaways

The Pilot House is a long, one-story building separated into six large rooms. Each private room is air-conditioned and sleeps up to four in single beds (bring your own linens). Each room is separate, private with its own entrance, bathroom and shower. The bathroom has a dual vanity and sinks, a separate area for the shower and bathtub and storage for personal items. 

There is a shared front porch along the front of the Pilot House building with adirondack chairs and an outdoor charcoal grill (if requested). A chest of drawers and a small armoire is provided, as well as a small, dorm-style fridge.

The Pilot House faces the Neuse River, providing gorgeous views and quiet, tranquil times on the front porch. 

Rooms are clean, well-maintained and furnished with complimentary WiFi.

Pilot House rooms are only offered at Camp Seafarer. 

Camp Seafarer is located near Arapahoe, NC on more than 150 acres. We have over a mile of shoreline along the Neuse River, a long pier and a small beach. You are welcome to bring small boats, such as Sunfish, canoes, kayaks or stand-up paddleboards to use on the Neuse or on our canoe lake. 

On the land, we have tennis and pickleball courts, tetherball, basketball courts, 9 holes of golf (through Oct. 31) and open fields and spaces for play. You are welcome to bring any and all sports gear to play, including bikes.
