Best Dog-Friendly Camping near North Topsail Beach, NC
Surf City Family Campground provides direct beach access just 300 feet from the ocean with pet-friendly tent and RV sites. Located on North Topsail Beach, this small campground offers water and electric hookups for camping units while maintaining a quiet family atmosphere. The owners assist with RV parking and provide helpful information about the area. Most sites are close together with no shade, but benefit from constant ocean breezes. The campground features clean restrooms, though shower facilities are somewhat basic, and includes a dump station across the street.
The Inlet Campground (formerly Laniers Campground) and Harbor Point RV Community also accommodate pets with full hookup options. Both campgrounds maintain well-kept grounds with Harbor Point offering exceptionally clean heated bathrooms during off-season visits. Sites tend to be close together at both facilities, with Harbor Point particularly crowded during peak season. The doggie area at Harbor Point is located behind some sites, which might be noticeable during summer heat. Campers seeking more space might prefer visiting during off-season when fewer neighbors and dogs are present. Several campgrounds are conveniently located near shops, restaurants, and fishing opportunities, with The Inlet Campground featuring a pier for fishing and water access for canoeing or kayaking.
