Lake Linda is a private 6 acre lake that's located on our family's 40 acre property. We are just 5 minutes from Surf City, Topsail Island, and 20 minutes from both Wilmington and Jacksonville. You'll often see ducks and geese on the lake. Lake Linda is a peaceful place, but conveniently located within a few minutes of food, entertainment, and of course some beautiful beaches.
On the back half of the property, we also have a small family farm. Pasture raised pigs, chickens, cows, sheep, goats and we even a have a couple of turkeys! We sell farm fresh eggs as well as poultry, beef, and pork, all raised right here on our farm. Our pork & beef is USDA inspected and processed!

FHU site, level with grass right next to bath house which was clean and well maintained. Easy pull through. Reasonable price and close to Surf City. Property is a working farm so greeted with rooster crows each morning, along with pens for sheep, goats, cattle, and pigs. . Host was friendly and very responsive. Route 17 is very busy so it can be a bit challenging turning in and out of the property when traffic is heavy.

We actually stayed at site 8 and loved it! The owners were very nice and accommodating! This was truly a beautiful little getaway, and it’s great for couples or those with kiddos like us. Our family really enjoyed kayaking/jon boating on the pond and having a little fire while laying under the stars. It was a great experience and we would love to do it again with more family next time! Thank you to amazing hosts! We appreciate you and everything you had to offer.

We stayed at Lake Linda’s Campground over Thanksgiving weekend for our very first family camping trip, and it was such a great experience. The hosts were friendly, proactive, and easy to get in touch with, even though they were also working the light show, hot chocolate hut and Santa photo op. These people do it ALL. Our site was easy to get in and out of, and the bathhouse was clean and well-kept, which we really appreciated as first-time campers.
Waking up to the rooster and taking a family walk to see the farm animals was a huge hit with our 4-year-old. We live in Jacksonville but wanted a simple weekend getaway, and this was perfect. The campground is conveniently located near Lowe’s, Dollar Tree, Harris Teeter, and Bojangles, so anything we forgot was just a quick drive away.
Thank you for having us!

We had a wonderful time staying at Michael's place! The location is perfect—it's incredibly peaceful and scenic with Lake Linda right there. The convenience was great. We appreciated the clean bathhouse and the thoughtful amenities like the gas grills and picnic tables. It was also a unique and fun experience to be so close to the family farm and see all the animals. If you're looking for a relaxing, well-located spot with some unique charm, this is it. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed my stay! The location felt safe and was conveniently close to supermarkets and restaurants (just a 5-minute drive) and only 15 minutes from the beach. I car camped this time, but the site looks great for tent camping too, which I’m planning to try next time. Kath was very responsive and answered all my questions quickly. Although I didn’t get to meet her in person, I still felt very welcome.

Very welcoming and helpful hosts, it is on a working farm so there are lots of animals roaming about including goat, cows and some pigs and piglets. The lake is quite beautiful, they do a light show at Christmas, hate we didn't get to see it all lit up. Campsite power, sewer and water easily accessible and the presence of a bathroom directly adjacent to site you can skip hookup of sewer if you wanted. The animals were fun to see but there were some farm odors and bugs to contend with. If you aren't scared of a farm and have a can of OFF bug spray, no big deal at all. Great stay, excellent value. 30 min drive to center of Wilmington and just down the road to Topsail and Jacksonville.

This was an awesome location for our beach trip. We had our own area with no other campers close to us. The bathroom to use the shower was right next to us, so very convenient. It is a working farm so it was fun hearing the rooster in the morning. When M & T were out working on the farm the nosies didn’t bother us as it was off in the distance, it was entertainment for our cats. Leaving and coming home it was exciting to see the three little piggies running around and rooting for food on the ground. Wr also enjoy checking out the goats, lambs and cows. Topsail and Surf City offers some amazing beaches, dinner spots and attractions to keep your busy. Would definitely go back.

We had absolutely the best time staying at Lake Linda! We stayed for two days, wish we could’ve stayed longer! We showed up a couple hours after check-in because we were driving cross-country, but they were very understanding and accommodating! The bathhouse was superb, we had 3 people shower in there and get dressed comfortably. Really good plumbing, and they even had a big fan to combat the humidity from the shower. Our 2 year old had no problem getting all around the farm! Clean conditions for the animals which is always a wonderful thing to see, you can tell they take care of them and really love them! Our girl loved the geese and all of the ducks, which would come right up to us! Such a cool experience. It’s a quiet place, where you can relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but are just a short few-mile drive from the ocean! Thank you for opening your home to us! We will for sure be back 😎❤️ The hosts were incredibly sweet, southern hospitality is real! Will definitely be recommending this place to anyone I know wanting to make the drive!

Nice size well kept sites overlooking the lake. Very quiet area back off the road.
Not too far to drive to a farm store, restaurant, or to get gas. Within an easy drive of a city with many options -40 minutes or a smaller city-20 minutes.
There are geese that are hanging out by the lake, a trail to hike or bike, and lake fishing at the site. The view is great just sitting by the camper also. We really enjoyed it and the host family is super helpful with suggestions of places to go.
