Carolina Beach State Park offers cabin accommodations near Supply, North Carolina, approximately 30 miles from Supply proper. The park maintains several rustic and newly constructed cabins situated among pine forests. Most cabins in the area are available year-round, though seasonal availability varies by location. Winter months offer quieter camping experiences with fewer visitors at many cabin locations.
What to do
Nature exploration at Carolina Beach State Park: The park contains multiple hiking trails through diverse ecosystems where visitors can view native carnivorous plants. "There are lots of short trails to hike on where you can enjoy bird watching and viewing the Venus flytraps and other carnivorous plants native to the area," notes Caroline G. about Carolina Beach State Park Campground.
Beach activities near Sunset Beach: Visitors staying at cabin rentals can take day trips to nearby beaches. "With Sunset beach, and Ocean Isle beach just minutes away we have gone there daily. I am fascinated by Bird Island that is a nature preserve and reachable from Sunset beach," explains Maya C. from Brunswick Beaches RV Resort.
Wine tasting at CarrollWoods: Some cabin locations feature unique on-site activities. "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.
What campers like
Off-season tranquility: Winter cabin stays offer a different experience than peak summer months. "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," shares Ms P. about Carolina Beach State Park.
Wildlife viewing areas: Many cabins are situated near natural habitats. "Many bird songs at sunrise and Whip poor will calls at sunset every night. We have dogs and there are nice places to walk along the pond, and grass areas all around the campground," describes Maya C. from Brunswick Beaches RV Resort.
Proximity to local attractions: Cabins serve as convenient bases for regional exploration. "Short drive to the beach. I am an avid fisherman and had a great day fishing on a Hurricane charter out of Calabash," notes a visitor at Wilmington KOA.
What you should know
Varying distance to beaches: Not all cabin rentals provide direct beach access. "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," mentions Sam M. about Carolina Beach State Park.
Reservations essential: Many cabin locations fill quickly, particularly during summer. "This campground is packed on holiday weekends. There were only 2 campsites available when we visited for memorial day weekend," advises Caroline G.
Strict pet policies: Some cabin facilities have specific rules for pets. "The dog park is very spacious, fully shaded by lots of trees and even has a few man-made hills for the pooches to climb," notes Nancy C. about CarrollWoods RV Park at Grapefull Sisters Vineyard.
Tips for camping with families
Pool facilities: Many cabin rental locations include swimming options. "The bathhouse is also heated during the winter months and there are quite a few outlets available which we used to charge our phones," mentions Caroline G. about Carolina Beach.
Kid-friendly activities: Several locations offer dedicated recreation for children. "We have camped at Carolina Beach State Park 1-2 times a year for the past five years. The campsites at this park are some of the cleanest sites I have camped at," reports the same reviewer.
Educational opportunities: Some locations provide learning experiences. "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," observes Sam M.
Tips from RVers
Cabin alternatives: For those with RVs considering cabin options as backup, note the amenities. "Electric golf carts are allowed and they have rentals on site. The resort also has a beach house directly on the beach with shuttle service," explains Deb P. about Sun Outdoors Myrtle Beach.
Site layout consideration: Check site configurations when booking cabins. "The sites are well-spaced with a picnic table, fire pit and grill at each site," notes Nancy C. about the layout at CarrollWoods RV Park.
Seasonal variations: Weather affects cabin camping experiences throughout the year. "Be prepared for no shade in the summer! Pools are very crowded," cautions Stacey G. about seasonal conditions at Sun Outdoors Myrtle Beach.
