Rural camping opportunities near Orrum, North Carolina provide convenient access to both North and South Carolina attractions. Located in Robeson County, this small agricultural community sits at approximately 131 feet above sea level in the coastal plain region. Many campgrounds remain accessible year-round with summer temperatures regularly reaching the 90s while winter lows rarely drop below freezing.
What to Do
Farm animal interactions: At Double L Farms Campground, visitors can experience a working farm setting. "Our daughters thought the farm animals were the best part of our camping trip! In fact, our entire family, we absolutely loved the cows, horses, donkeys, chickens, guinea hens, ducks, turkey, cats, dogs and other animals we came across during our stay," notes Stuart K.
Water activities: Many RV sites near Orrum, North Carolina offer water recreation opportunities. "There are 4 pools and a water park for the kids. During the summer weekends they provide pool service for drinks which is really nice," explains Deb P. about Sun Outdoors Myrtle Beach, which also offers "a beach house directly on the beach with shuttle service."
Wine tasting: Sample local wines without leaving your campground. "I visited the winery and the two women who own it are helpful and lively. If you visit, you must get one of their wine floats," recommends Nancy C. about CarrollWoods RV Park at Grapefull Sisters Vineyard.
What Campers Like
Clean facilities: Campers consistently praise the maintenance of bathhouses at campgrounds in the region. "The bathhouse and laundry were sufficient. They had a nice pool, playground, volley ball court and horseshoe pits," notes Jen B. about CarrollWoods RV Park.
Spacious sites: Willow Tree RV Resort offers particularly roomy camping areas. "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," explains Rose S. Another camper, Ramona K., adds "Large lots with nice long pull through, clean and quiet with a friendly staff."
Proximity to beaches: Many camping spots provide easy access to coastal areas. "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. Resort is close to Little River which has good restaurants. Easy drive into N. Myrtle Beach," describes Deb P. about the North Myrtle Beach area.
What You Should Know
Seasonal considerations: While many campgrounds operate year-round, some amenities follow seasonal schedules. "It's winter so, the lake and amenities aren't available for use. But, they look great and you can fish inside the rec area, just not from the Campground," explains a visitor at Smith Lake Army RV Park.
Noise factors: Some campgrounds experience noise from nearby roads or facilities. "Right off I95. Great over night stay. Farm Camp. Right by road so was a little loud at night but manageable," notes a Double L Farms camper. At Smith Lake, "This campground is near a military runway so be prepared for loud aircraft noise as well as other military installation noise."
Reservation requirements: Many popular campgrounds fill quickly, especially during peak seasons. "Booked for next Memorial Day before leaving," reports Thomas C. about a holiday weekend at Willow Tree RV Resort, suggesting advance planning is necessary.
Tips for Camping with Families
Animal encounters: Children particularly enjoy interaction with farm animals at some campgrounds. "If you have a family with small children, they will love the horses, chickens, guinea hens, and the couple of friendly cats and dogs that they own," writes Marvin D. about Double L Farms. Another visitor adds, "Brian took our two year old on a tour of their amazing farm — horses, cows, ducks, chickens, and all the tractors of our toddlers' dreams."
Kid-friendly recreation: Barefoot RV Resort offers dedicated water features for younger visitors. "Has 2 pools (one for kids with a slide & lazy river and one more for adults/quieter activities). The pools are in opposite corners of the resort," explains Jessica D.
Educational opportunities: Some campgrounds offer learning experiences. "If you need to get away and see something a bit more educational then try out Exploration Station in downtown Lumberton," recommends a Double L Farms visitor.
Tips from RVers
Accessibility: Many camping areas accommodate larger vehicles with specific design features. "Concrete pad makes for super quick and easy leveling set up. There's a fire pit and picnic table," notes Ariel F. about the North Myrtle Beach area.
Laundry facilities: Campers appreciate practical amenities during extended stays. "The campground restroom was really nice, has air conditioning, heating, and a clean private shower. There is also a washer, a microwave and even wifi in there," reports Marvin D. about available services.
Local dining options: RVers recommend exploring nearby restaurants. "When you grow tired of trying to conjure up that next meal from the depths of your Cordova roto-molded cooler or on-board mini-fridge and want to explore some great local fare, then check out The Governor Place for brisket burger and duck fries with alioli or Tony B's Chicken & BBQ," suggests a camper who visited the Lumberton area.
