    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.

    Carolina Beach State Park Campground

    beach + camping = awesome

    Carolina beach state park is one of my favorite places to go in North Carolina. Not only does it have an awesome campground, but it's right near one of the best beaches I've ever been to. The sites are nice and secluded, just how I like them. Most of the sites are tent sites, but they have a few full hookup sites for RVs and some cabins to rent too. All of the sites have picnic tables, fire rings, and drinking water.

    Within the park, there are tons of hiking trails through a really beautiful area. I hear the fishing is also really good within the park, but I've never done it myself. The only downside is you can't swim within the park, because the currents can get dangerous. The beach is only like 5 minutes away though, so not really a big deal.

    As for the beach, it's my favorite one to go to in the states. I like it because it's not really touristy like the outer banks or myrtle beach. Not a whole lot of people come to it, so it's always pretty secluded and clean. In July, the water temperature is perfect, the waves are nice, and it's great all around.

    Awesome spot in NC.

    CarrollWoods RV Park at Grapefull Sisters Vineyard

    Actually 4.8 Stars

    Spent the week before Memorial Day and Memorial Weekend at Carrollwoods. This is really a nice campground. The sites are well-spaced with a picnic table, fire pit and grill at each site. There’s a pool that was unfortunately out of service during most of our visit there during the 90-degree heat. It was finally open when the weather cooled. There were not many other campers until the weekend and then there were only a few sites left. The grounds are very spacious. Lots of room to walk with a few short paths that go into the woods. It has one of the best dog parks that I have ever been to. It is very spacious, fully shaded by lots of trees and even has a few man-made hills for the pooches to climb. The only downside was it appeared as if the waste bin hadn’t been empty in several days. 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. My only negatives were they advertise free WiFi and cable. I wish businesses would not promote poor quality products as “free”. I probably could access their WiFi no more than for 3 times in all the time I was there and would last no more than 10 minutes. The cable had several odd channels and there was so much buffering, it was often unwatchable. My only other issue is that they need to do some cleanup in their gardens. There were several planters with dead plants in them from the year before. Either refill them or get rid of them. The beds are well designed, but needed a good weeding. Even with its flaws, this is definitely a campground I would return to.

    Brunswick Beaches RV Resort

    5 miles from Kindred Spirit Mailbox

    I came to this campground because of its location about 5 miles from Kindred Spirit Mailbox on Bird Island.

    The campground was quiet. All the guests were quiet, but friendly.

    Water and electric hook-up, laundry on site, showers and toilets behind the camp store office. Great cement picnic tables/benches!

    Not close enough to beach unless you have a car or bikes. Parking lot near beach is $10. Pool clean; ice and firewood on premises for sale.

    Dump station near entrance/exit. Road into camp is incredibly narrow. 2 vehicles can’t fit; one has to pull over to the side to let another pass by.

    This campground used to be a KOA but now it is a Good Sam camp. The road is still named KOA. Address is 7200 KOA Drive, Sunset Beach, NC 28468 (910)579-7562.

    Willow Tree RV Resort

    Amazing vacation

    Best RV Resort we’ve been to so far. Large lots with nice long pull through, clean and quiet with a friendly staff. Amenities included nice swimming pool and hot tub. Volleyball net and basketball hoop on each end of pool. Shuffleboard, corn hole, sand volleyball. Game room had a pool table, ping pong table, air hockey. Books galore to borrow, DVDs if you have a player which we don’t, but we don’t camp to watch TV. Store had a puzzle you could spend time working on and a checkerboard with rocking chairs to just hang out in. The lake beach was closed for the season when we went but the inflatables looked like they would have been fun! Mile long paved path around the lake was great for walking or biking. Catch and release fishing too. Had a mix of annuals, short term campers and on the other side of the lake they had nice cabins and a small park model village. Exercise room and a nice clean laundry room. Bath house was 8 individual doors to full individual bathrooms of toilet sink and shower which were kept very clean. Cherry Grove beach was only 15 minutes or so away and there was a Food Lion less than 10 minutes for grocery shopping needs. Resort store had reasonable prices for ice and wood to burn in the fire pit. Only negatives which weren’t a big deal was nothing can be strapped to trees... aka no laundry line or hammock attached to the trees and no tents allowed. We will go back! Wish it was closer to home.

Guide to Southport

Carolina Beach State Park offers both rustic and deluxe cabin accommodations situated along the Cape Fear River. Located 22 miles north of Southport, North Carolina, these rental cabins provide year-round lodging options in a coastal forest setting. Winter temperatures typically range from 40-60°F while summer months can reach 85-95°F with high humidity.

What to do

Beach access: Carolina Beach State Park has trails leading to the water but swimming is restricted due to currents. "Carolina beach state park is one of my favorite places to go in North Carolina. Not only does it have an awesome campground, but it's right near one of the best beaches I've ever been to," notes Sam M. in a review of Carolina Beach State Park Campground.

Vineyard visits: Cabin stays near wine-producing areas offer a different experience. "We spent 9 days and really didn't want to leave. There were a variety of things to do. The pool, the winery, a couple of trips to the beach and surrounding area," shares Sheri F. about CarrollWoods RV Park at Grapefull Sisters Vineyard, which provides cabin rentals alongside vineyard activities.

Off-season exploration: Winter cabin rentals provide a quieter experience with fewer crowds. "I've been here at different times of the year. I really enjoy camping here in December and January. Less people and the park is so nice," writes Ms P. about Carolina Beach State Park, highlighting the advantages of off-peak visits.

What campers like

Lakeside recreation: Some cabin areas feature freshwater activities as alternatives to ocean beaches. "Beautiful campground. Professional staff and spacious campsites. There is a large lake great for swimming and fishing!" states Małgorzata R. about Willow Tree RV Resort, which offers cabin accommodations with lake access.

Private bathrooms: Higher-end cabin rentals include individual bathroom facilities. "Bath house was 8 individual doors to full individual bathrooms of toilet sink and shower which were kept very clean," notes Ramona K. about Willow Tree RV Resort, describing an amenity that distinguishes it from more basic options.

Year-round accessibility: Most cabin rentals in the region maintain operations throughout winter. "From checking in until packing up to leave, my three night stay was very pleasant and restful. I disperse camp usually, but having the advantage of a very well maintained bathhouse was super nice," reports Steven C. about his recent stay at Carolina Beach State Park.

What you should know

Pet restrictions: Most cabin rentals prohibit pets inside structures. "We have dogs and there are nice places to walk along the pond, and grass areas all around the campground. The dog park is nice for some off leash time," explains Maya C. about Brunswick Beaches RV Resort, highlighting pet-friendly outdoor areas despite indoor restrictions.

Seasonal pricing: Cabin rental rates fluctuate significantly between peak and off-seasons, with winter rates often 30-40% lower than summer prices.

Local food options: Many cabin locations offer access to local seafood markets. "There are a lot of gray farmer's stands and fresh seafood stands nearby too!" reports Beth M. about Wilmington KOA, which provides cabin accommodations with convenient access to local food sources.

Tips for camping with families

Water features: Family-oriented cabins often include water recreation options. "This is a great place for kids - the pools, putt-putt, arcade, etc etc. Be prepared for no shade in the summer! Pools are very crowded. The beach club was great and so convenient," advises Stacey G. about Sun Outdoors Myrtle Beach, which offers cabin rentals with extensive water amenities.

Entertainment options: Kid-friendly cabin locations provide structured activities. "Great place for family entertainment. Kids of 10, 8, and 5 and all had a blast. We stayed during a storm and the camp staff adjusted their events to focus on indoor entertainment for the families," shares E G. about Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Daddy Joe's, which specializes in family-oriented cabin rentals.

Educational opportunities: Several cabin locations near Southport provide nature programs. "Within the park, there are tons of hiking trails through a really beautiful area. I hear the fishing is also really good within the park," mentions Sam M. about Carolina Beach State Park, which offers ranger-led programs about local ecology.

Tips from RVers

Off-season reservations: Winter cabin stays often require less advance booking. "I have camped at Carolina Beach State Park 1-2 times a year for the past five years. This campground is also located next to a Food Lion. It is also only 5 minutes from the beach," notes Caroline G., highlighting year-round accessibility.

Grocery proximity: Most cabin rental locations have nearby grocery options. "Short drive to the beach. Will be back!!" mentions Sean N. about Sun Outdoors Myrtle Beach, where most supplies are available within a 15-minute drive.

Extending stays: Several locations allow flexibility in reservation dates. "It's so easy to check in... it's usually no problem if you want to extend your stay, which I think I've done quite a few times," explains a visitor to Brunswick Beaches RV Resort, indicating the advantage of flexibility when renting cabins near Southport.
