Trail Overview

Dixon Fields is an upper White Oak River access point in Croatan National Forest. To access this small patch of public property, you will pass through mostly private property to get there. Once turning off into Croatan National Forest, the trail becomes much narrower and riddled with deep potholes. This is an easy drive that can be made with 2wd if carefully avoiding the deep potholes. No overnight camping is allowed in the large parking lot with pit toilet but is allowed along the riverside with campsites on the north and south side of the river access. The camping areas are only large enough for tents or small teardrop trailers. This is a great basecamp location for floating the White Oak River or setting out to explore the many trails in the area.

Trail feels like it enters private property but just stay on the dirt path and you’ll be okay! Be carful as there are some deep potholes in the open field. We just got this vehicle so bone stock vehicles are perfectly fine :)
