What campers like
Full amenities: Willow Tree RV Resort stands out for its comprehensive facilities. A camper reports, "Everything here on site is neat clean and in good working order all the recreational facilities are fresh and new. The bathrooms are absolutely cleaned very carefully. There were many surprises here as we enjoyed all the facilities."
Seasonal activities: Willow Tree RV Resort offers special seasonal events throughout the year. One visitor describes, "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. It was really well done!"
Private bathrooms: Holden Beach RV Campground features individual bathroom units. A reviewer points out, "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."
What you should know
Site spacing varies: In The Pines RV & Cabin Village has 30 sites with full hookups and pet-friendly policies. A visitor notes, "New Park with all the amenities you need, clean well kept facilities and grounds. Dog Park and nice mowed lanes for walks. Owner super nice and helpful."
Seasonal smell issues: Some campgrounds have occasional odor problems depending on wind direction. At Oceans RV Resort, a camper explains, "Sometimes, when the winds blow out of the east, every camper smells the sewage treatment plant across the back fence. Truth be told, it is rare, only a few days out of the month."
Reservation timing: Popular campgrounds fill quickly during peak season. At Willow Tree RV Resort, "You can reserve up to 400 days out. Half of it is due at time of reservation and the rest at arrival."
Tips for camping with families
RV-only restrictions: Some campgrounds limit the types of camping allowed. At Willow Tree RV Resort, a camper shares, "This place is wonderful if you camp in an RV. No tents or pop-ups allowed. The sites are huge and along the lake where I camped, they are angled so that you don't really see much of your neighbors."
Beach proximity trade-offs: S & W RV Park offers easy access to coastal attractions. A visitor mentions, "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. Quiet site, not a lot on amenities, but nice wooded areas, friendly staff, and 20 minutes to Holden beach, 20 minutes to Southport."
Recreational options: CarrollWoods RV Park provides diverse facilities for families. According to a reviewer, "The pool, the winery, a couple of trips to the beach and surrounding area. We were well received. We are new to camping and a family of color. We highly recommend."
Tips from RVers
Campground navigation: Harbor Point RV Community has some access limitations despite offering full hookups. A camper warns, "We have a 38ft rig and some of the trees are very low and scrape the top."
Low season advantages: Several campgrounds offer better experiences outside peak season. One Harbor Point visitor notes, "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... but we had a site with no neighbors, and nearly no dogs while here so it was quiet."
Marina access options: Seahaven Marine RV Park combines RV camping with water access. A camper describes, "This is a nice, small RV park located beside a marina just outside the gates of Camp Lejeune. There are some permanent sites, tiny homes, and everyone is very friendly. You can fish off the dock."
