    Pirateland Family Camping Resort

    Pros and cons

    Pros- Friendly and helpful staff everywhere. Our sand and grass lot was level. We had nice neighbors all around us. Our family loved the pool and the kiddos couldn’t get enough of the pirate themed water park and lazy river. They have a well stocked store. A restaurant and game room. A food truck was also available daily. Easy access to the beach. The bathhouse was clean, well stocked and climate controlled.

    Cons- We were all packed in snug like sardines. Traffic is busy always.

    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.

    Little Pee Dee State Park Campground

    A quiet and clean state park

    Little Pee Dee State Park is a quiet and clean campground on the banks of Lake Norton. Locals often come here for fishing and non-motorized boating.  We were fortunate to witness a mass crayfish event--the recent flooding had brought them out of the swamp and up the spillway, much to the delight of seafood lovers.

    The campground had two different campground hosts, and they kept the restrooms and campsites immaculately clean.

    Campsites have a fire ring/grate and a picnic table, but no trash cans, and you'll need to bring your trash to a large bin located at the edge of the campsites.

    There are some nice sites right at the edge of Lake Norton, but the abundant water plants don't allow you to fish from the side of the lake, and it's not really a swimming lake. These sites accommodate RVs and have water & electric.  If you're on a budget, there are tent-only sites off the water.

    The campground recently built a sleeping cabin, which is a cute structure with air conditioning/heat, bunk beds, and a free-standing bed (the cabin sleeps four, total). Guests can use a fire ring and Adirondack chairs, hammock, and grill.

    The park also has a nice shelter for use.

    There is no WiFi here, and cellular internet is spotty. There isn't a camp store, but the Ranger Station does have ice, firewood, and a small number of souvenirs for sale.

    Carolina Beach State Park Campground

    Beachtrips made affordable

    Great location close to Wilmington and Carolina Beach. The recent addition of air-conditioned cabins are a welcome alternative during the hot summer months even though they book up quickly. We enjoyed fishing and exploring the campground.

    Ocean Lakes Family Campground

    Very Nice

    Level sites with full hook-ups, some paved. Staff are polite and respectful. On-site security, potable water refill stations. Sites are reasonably spaced and the campground is next to the beach. Small store, ice cream parlor, and pizza restaurant that will deliver to your site. Events go on here often, like concerts, Halloween trick-or-treat, Christmas celebrations, Thanksgiving meals, etc. Quiet hours are perfect and enforced. Cannot beat the price on rv storage which is by the quarter, not monthly. Bathhouses are always clean. Have stayed there many times and love it. They even have a rv garage if you need work done.

    Carolina Beach State Park Campground

    Great spot!

    I’ve been staying here every summer since i was a kid. So probably 11 summers now. It’s a great place. Clean bathrooms and cute well air conditioned cabins. You can ride your bike or walk to the boardwalk with some of the way having a paved bike trails. Gates close i think at 10 and open in the morning so remember to bring bikes. During the summer it is very humid and hot with lots of mosquitoes so remember to bring your bug spray. Try britt’s doughnuts of wake and bake before you leave, i promise you won’t regret it.

    Pirateland Family Camping Resort

    Good for off season locals

    The one thing that really bothered me was that they had dozens of people just riding around drinking beer and driving all day. Then they would just Cruz around drinking and driving at night? With dogs and babies ?

    Either way:

    Bathrooms: 5/5 clean & air-conditioning in all of them.

    Sites: 3/5 just average/fine

    Pools: 5/5 full on kids water park + Olympic pool + lazy river.

    Food: 3/5 loads of options. Nothing good. They don't let Uber eats or DD come deliver and you have to meet them at the gate.

    Closeness to other sites: 1/5 you are up each other's buttcracks

    Dog rating: 4/5 no problem but also SO dog friendly we had to be very mindful of others not having their dogs on leash.

    Carolina Beach State Park Campground

    Beautiful coastal forest on the banks of the Cape Fear River

    The group campground is isolated from the rest of the camping areas and is quiet at night. There are a lot of park visitors who walk through the area, but the trail through goes around he main campsites. The pit toilets are in need of some attention, but have always been well stocked. It’s about 400 yards to hike in, so we used a wagon to bring in gear. No water on site, but a really nice fire pit with grill top and 2 picnic tables. Shady tent sites available, but really hot and buggy in summer. Group camp site is about .5 mile hike from the river which is great for wading, but swimming is not allowed.

    Many species of carnivorous plants grow here and abundant wildlife.

    in the summer months there is a place to rent kayaks and paddle boards at the marina.
