    104 acres of peace and quiet for your enjoyment. This site would be best suited for tent campers at the moment due to no bath houses or electricity for the time being. Come enjoy your stay bring a kayak or canoe and float around the 6 acres of ponds and catch some of the many bass, bream or crappie that occupy the waters. My property is located 7 miles off highway 74/76 in Whiteville and 10 miles to Lake Waccamaw. 32 miles to Ocean Isle Beach, 45 miles to Wilmington, 36 miles to North Myrtle Beach. Also in the pictures the grass hasn’t been cut and the tin hasn’t been put back on the picnic area by the pond. These things will be done before your stay! The road is grassy/dirt I would recommend a suv or truck for your stay. When there’s no burn ban in place or lack of rain i do try to keep firewood on-site but I recommend checking with me before your stay. I am new to this so please give me a chance to get everything squared away on the page. If you have any questions feel free to e mail me! I am currently working on getting the new roof installed on the shelter and the well operational upfront. If you book you will have the entire property for you and your party.

      Small quiet Campground A++

      Small quiet campground that has some adorable amenities. Pet and child friendly. Nick (the owner) is super helpful and they even have item you may have forgotten they will lend out. Firewood is provided. We stayed I. Their little cabin on a whim. Cozy but small. AC and heat both worked well. Their camp store has very affordable gifts and some supplies one might need. We came to this area to try some unique restaurants. The cabin allowed us to stay and try all of them. We went to the Mad Boar on Friday night for some amazing prime rib and unique appetizer. We went to The Country Squire and enjoyed a wine tasting before a dreamy colonial meal. The atmosphere here was so realistic. They even have an inn. And of course we had to go to the Duplin Winery. Next time we will bring the kids to enjoy the craft hour and playground.

      Clean and Family Friendly

      Such an awesome KOA, bathrooms were immaculate. Free coffee everyday and so many activities! Great communication, they text before every event, and if something is lost they send out alerts. Loved our stay!

      Surf City Family Campground

      Located right on the beach

      The spots are very close together. There is no shade, but a constant beach breeze.

      You can not see ocean from the campground due to the dunes, but it is about 300 feet to the water.

      The owners are very nice. He will even help park your rv with his tractor.

      Same price for full hookups verses no sewer. You will have to go across the street to their other campground to dump and there is no water for rinsing, only a sewer drain.

      The public bathroom stalls only go as high as shoulder level.

      Right on the Beach!

      A gem of a place! Call to reserve a spot. The staff is super helpful and friendly. We loved being right by the beach. There are spots for RVs and tents. You could still hear the waves even with RVs running air conditioners.

      Army Travel Camp, Quite and Beautiful

      Camp Ground is quiet and well laid out. Facilitaies are clean and maintained. Lake was open and fun to play in.

      Camp ground is next to airfield, you might get Helicopter nosies from time to time.

      Camp Clearwater

      Busy Campground

      This is a very large campground with mostly full-time people. Nice laundry facilities, decent sized transient sites, beautiful beach and piers. It was "off-season" but the weekends were quite busy. There is a 5mph campground rule that most definitely is NOT followed. Kids and adults drive golf carts like it's the Indy 500. Was a nice stay, but probably won't go back.

      Cliffs of the Neuse State Park

      Small, quiet and relaxed among the pines

      Our stay in Site #4 on February 25 in our 20' Mode LT was quiet and restful.  The park has an interesting geomorphology, sitting atop cliffs overlooking the river below, and there are miles of hiking trails.  The Campground Host was particularly helpful, checking us in when we arrived early.  Unlike many  state parks they offer their Senior Discount to out-of-state campers.  The campground is very clean and sites are very large with gravel pads, but only 14 sites have hook-ups.  Our stay was marred by heavy fire smoke from campfires penetrating our van.  The distance from I-95 adds an extra hour to your travel if you are just planning a one-nite stopover, so we might not make the trek again.

      Surprisingly quiet

      Just off the road. Close to lots of places to eat and beaches. Seemed to have lots of activities some places even had chimaeras and Weber grills.

      Fantastic Location

      After hearing about the mosquito situation, I was worried, but have not seen one yet - October 9. We hiked a trail to see Venus flytraps in the wild. A short peddle to the ocean beach. Very nice sites.

      Relaxing stay!

      First time camping at cliffs of the neuse and it was great. They sell firewood for $7 (cash only at the camp store) and the park staff was friendly. Our spot was shaded by the trees and even had a little path to the bathroom in the brush. We were surprised by two kittens who cautiously watched us from the bushes. Bathrooms were also very clean. Cleanest I might have ever seen at a camp.

      Lake Waccamaw State Park

      Great way to unplug

      We stayed in site 5 for 11 days. The Yurt had been removed but the platform stayed. We were able to get up our large tent on the platform and have enough space for our chairs. The lake is beautifully kept and clean. Very shallow. You can walk out a good 300 meters. We kayaked and fished while we were here. The rangers were helpful and checked in to make sure we didn’t need anything and kept the trash can empty. All the locals we spoke to we friendly! The down side is you are a long walk to the toilets. This is primitive so no power or water at the site. We absolutely loved it and plan to come back again!

      Bring mosquito netting or pop up to keep the horse flies away!

      Great camping spot, very unique.

      We loved it. 

      We were almost alone, only one other vehicle. Two nice guys just there to night fish. After they left we only had the police truck making his rounds every few hours. 

      Wonderful to wake up to the sunrise over the ocean.

      Over night stop

      We did an overnight stop here.

      The campground was ok, but our site sucked. It was under construction, so the yard was tore up and we had no picnic table. The site was super uneven, so we didn’t pull the slides out. Sucked about that picnic table for that reason especially.

      The campground is ok for a holiday.

      Wonderful, No Frills Campground

      Wonderful, small, relaxing campground. Large, level, FHU sites. Some permanent trailers and seasonal campers, mostly occupied by traveling healthcare professionals. Well maintained. Campground is surrounded by the owners farmland. Horses, cows, donkeys, chickens. Simple and peaceful. The owner, Lisa was the best we’ve ever encountered and we’ve camped in all of the lower 48. Well maintained. We will definitely return!

      Nice park

      Nice park, mix of weekend campers and quite a bit of long term campers. Quiet on the back side. Staff is very kind and accommodating. Nice pool. We have a 38ft rig and some of the trees are very low and scrape the top.
