Best RV Parks & Resorts near Carolina Beach, NC

Several RV parks surround Carolina Beach with full hookup sites for motorhomes and travel trailers.

In The Pines RV & Cabin Village offers 30 sites with both 30-amp and 50-amp electrical connections, picnic tables, and fire rings. Harbor Point RV Community in Sneads Ferry has pull-through sites for larger motorhomes and fifth wheels, though some visitors note tight spacing between units.

Most RV parks in the Carolina Beach area remain open year-round, with peak season running May through September. Reservations become essential during summer months and holiday weekends when oceanfront campgrounds fill quickly.

Many parks accommodate pets with designated dog areas, though size restrictions may apply at certain facilities.

    Oceans RV Resort

    So Awesome We're Staying Another Month

    Pickleball! And there's the bar/lounge, swimming pool, gym, laundry but most of all, space. You're in the south, so friendly folks who give you all the time in the world is a given. Yes, southern hospitality is palpable here. We're just a few miles from the beach, walking distance to a restaurant and or convenience store; crawling distance to Dales Pub across the road. It's like a KOA here, without the big trikes, lake and boats- but there are a couple ponds where the turtles come and go. Highlights for us; 1.) The laundry will run off an app on your phone. 2.) The pool and patio is truly awesome; we hang there almost every afternoon(weather permitting). 3.) Did I mention pickleball?! Downsides? Well, there is the price, but that's relative. We're getting a$1200.00 monthly rate which makes it do-able. Sometimes, when the winds blow out of the east, every camper smells the sewage treatment plant across the back fence- Check Google maps satellite view. Truth be told, it is rare, only a few days out of the month. The large majority of the time we get the cool coastal breeze. We camped at Oceans RV Resort in a Fifth Wheel.

    Lake Leamon Family Campground

    Lovely and Charming Diamond-In-The-Rough

    If you are looking for a friendly, affordable campground, open all year long, then Lake Leamon Family Campground is for you. There are no bells and whistles, but you won’t miss them when staying in this little diamond-in-the-rough campground. The manager, Pops as he is affectionately called by his employees and long-timers, goes out of his way to accommodate everyone’s needs and may even bend your ear with a story or two during your visit. From the massive 50 amp Class A rigs, to the aged or new 30 amp Class C Motorhomes, travel trailers and conversion vans to the die-hard tenters, there’s a spot for everyone. With a bath house sporting lavatories, showers and a laundry room; an arcade room over looking the lovely lake, fire pits and picnic tables, diving platforms, fishing, swimming, kayaking, canoeing and the famous Duplin Winery only nine miles away, this little campground is easy on the wallet and a sight for sore eyes when looking for that campsite you’ll want to come back to again and again!

    North Myrtle Beach RV Resort and Dry Dock Marina

    Great Amenities - Quiet off season

    We camped here in our 34 travel trailer. We both work from home on hot spots and our Verizon connection was great.

    The place is VERY quiet in the off season. We didn’t have any neighbors in the surrounding spots.

    The pool area looks super nice, but it was a little to chilly for us to spend any time in the pool. The hot tub however was a great way to end our work days! There are plenty of showers and two laundry rooms. Both are very nice and clean. There’s a small arcade which was fun too.

    Check in was super easy. We were very late and they accommodated us. The staff is polite and friendly.

    The site is great. Concrete pad makes for super quick and easy leveling set up. There’s a fire pit and picnic table. The spots next to us are “premium” so they have a little pavilion over their table.

    The dog park is small and definitely geared towards smaller dogs. It has a cute agility type course set up. Our GSD felt a little to big for the dog park, but we made it work.

    Carolina Beach State Park Campground

    Love Carolina Beach State Park!

    Our family has tent camped here twice and recently reserved a camp cabin for a week this summer. This is a quiet and spacious campground mere miles from Carolina Beach at a price that's hard to beat. We tent camp here around $30 a night for a tent site. Each site is very large and spacious. It could could comfortably fit 2 tents and a car.

    This Campground offers bathhouses, picnic tables, and fire rings. Dogs allowed, but not in the cabins. Plenty of walking trails.

    Campground is flat and shaded, although there are some primative group sites away from the main campground but they don't have as much shade. Grocery store is maybe 6 miles away.

    North Myrtle Beach RV Resort and Dry Dock Marina

    Great RV park, especially for boaters and families

    This is a very clean, modern, and well kept RV park. It’s big rig friendly since many of the sites are pull through with full hook ups. Bath houses are very clean and look brand new. There is a beautiful boardwalk along the Intercoastal Waterway where you can watch the boats pass by. There is also a large pool with massive water slide and a nearby tiki bar. Lots of amenities for kids and a well stocked camp store.

    Wishing Well

    Good Location for Economy Minded

    We stayed here for 2 weeks in September 2019. We don’t have kids, so we didn’t need amenities to entertain them. There is no pool, or playground, but there is a large area to walk your pets. Yes, they are PET FRIENDLY.
    It’s not a large RV campground, with only 34 back-in sites. You do have FULL HOOKUPS. The owner is very friendly and is easy to work with. He keeps the grounds neat and the showers and restrooms clean. You are only 10 minutes to Sunset Beach and Ocean Isle Beach. Also, North Myrtle Beach is only 25 minutes away. They close December 15th, until sometime in spring.
    If you are just trying to get a place in the area and don’t need a lot of campground amenities, I would recommend this place to you. We’ll definitely be going back.

    Holden Beach RV Campground

    Great Location Under the Live Oaks Close to Beach

    We camped at HBRV the past three nights. We were in site #46. Great site, full hookups, end site so privacy on patio side of RV. Staff was great. People were friendly. Only 2 miles to Holden Beach. Fire pit, firewood for sale. Some long term campers.  Definitely enjoyed our stay.


Guide to Carolina Beach

Carolina Beach sits on a peninsula between the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean in southeastern North Carolina. The area offers diverse RV camping options with proximity to both ocean and intercoastal waterway access. Summer temperatures typically range from 70-90°F with high humidity, while winter nights can drop to the 30s, making year-round camping viable with proper preparation.

What to do

Beach activities: 3 miles from Fort Fisher Air Force Recreation Area, visitors can explore the nearby aquarium and museum. "Great stay. Wife, Three Kids, and I really enjoyed it... Less than a mile from the Aquarium and fort fisher civil war museum," notes one military family camper.

Ferry access: 5-minute drive from Kure Beach camping areas to transportation. "Down South of it is bald island and access to a ferry that will take you to Southport," explains a visitor who explored the area.

Fishing opportunities: Direct access from waterfront sites at several campgrounds. At North Myrtle Beach RV Resort, campers enjoy "watching the boats on the Intercoastal Waterway" with rentals available at some facilities for those without equipment.

Winery visits: On-site tastings at select campgrounds combine camping with vineyard experiences. "Beautiful, family owned campground... Winery with taste testing hours and wine to purchase," notes a visitor to CarrollWoods RV Park.

What campers like

Direct beach proximity: Walking distance makes beach access simple at some locations. At Winners RV Park, campers appreciate that "With being only a short walk to the beach, shops, and restaurants, this park can't be beat. No frills here. The park managers are fun and friendly, and the grounds are clean and well-kept."

Pool facilities: Multiple options for swimming beyond the ocean. Holden Beach RV Campground visitors mention "the bath house has a private toilet, sink and shower- beautifully tiled and maintained. Lovely relaxing weekend. Oh- and a free trolly takes you to the beach and some restaurants."

Dog-friendly amenities: Dedicated spaces for pets at many Carolina Beach area campgrounds. In The Pines RV & Cabin Village provides "Dog Park and nice mowed lanes for walks. Owner super nice and helpful."

Clean facilities: Regular maintenance keeps bathhouses and common areas in good condition. "The bathhouse and laundry were sufficient. They had a nice pool, playground, volley ball court and horseshoe pits. They have a large dog park," reports a visitor to CarrollWoods.

What you should know

Military access restrictions: ID required at Fort Fisher Air Force Recreation Area. "You need a DOD ID card to stay here. It is affordable if you qualify to stay. They will check and make you leave if you are not a card holder," warns a visitor.

Site configuration challenges: Some campgrounds have awkward hookup placement. At Fort Fisher, "the sites themselves are extremely long, but for some reason the hook-ups are all near the front of the site, so you can't take advantage of the length."

Seasonal crowds: May-September reservations should be made well in advance. At Holden Beach RV Campground, "We stayed in the new section with great, full hook up, level, gravel pads and some new grass and landscaping, large new picnic table and fire pit."

Community vs. campground differences: Some locations function more as permanent communities. "This is an RV community not a campground. It's very strict (which is totally proper for a community) but we found as 'transients' that we were unwelcome," notes a reviewer at Harbor Point RV Community.

Tips for camping with families

Rental options: Equipment access without bringing your own. Fort Fisher "has shop, rental center, and fishing pier within walking distance of the camping area. Also has a nice pool and rec center, as well as ongoing outdoor classes (kayaking, ghost turtle hunting, etc)."

Pool and recreation features: Kid-friendly amenities available at multiple sites. At Willow Tree RV Resort, "The pool is large with a great slide and lots of lounge chairs. You are right on the Intercoastal waterway and can watch the boats travel up and down. They also have boats and golf carts for rent."

Educational opportunities: Nearby learning experiences complement camping trips. "They had an arts a crafts event we did not attend because the kids wanted to swim. But trick or treating was awesome for the kids, adults, and puppies. We briefly went to the Halloween bash but hurried over to go on the haunted hay right through the forest," explains a Willow Tree visitor during Halloween.

Spacing considerations: Sites vary in privacy and proximity to neighbors. "It's a very quiet campground. The sites are far enough apart you don't get interrupted by the neighboring campsites but the campground isn't so big you have to drive everywhere," notes a visitor at Holden Beach RV Campground.

Tips from RVers

Campground navigation: Entry procedures can be challenging at some locations. For Fort Fisher, experienced RVers recommend to "park at your site, then going to check in. Not much space to turn around at the office."

Connectivity options: Variable service across campgrounds for remote workers. At S & W RV Park, "We were looking for a last minute place, close to the coast. Found this campground by chance. Reasonably priced during peak season. We stayed 2 weeks, had a large campsite (probably hit or miss on site size), and really enjoyed our stay."

Tree clearance: Low branches pose hazards at some locations. One camper at Harbor Point notes that with "a 38ft rig and some of the trees are very low and scrape the top."

Site selection strategy: Location within campground affects experience. "We were here in December, the place was quiet. These sites are on top of each other and I don't know that I'd use this campground during high season... the doggie area was right behind us.. full summer heat would probably be a bit smelly for me," advises an off-season visitor.
