2 nights at Green Acres Private Campground

It was close to the beach and clean! Wonderful stay, I would recommend.

Weekend Trip to Pine forest, 5 minutes to the beach

This was my first ever experience with a Hipcamp and was very pleased with the experience. The pictures of this location really do not do it justice and I will upload my own to hopefully give a better, more current images of the location. The host has definitely taken the time and effort to make their 7 sites presentable and hospitable for Hipcampers. Sites are clean, clearly marked and a fresh layer of chipped mulch has been laid throughout the sites. The compost toilet is built in a nice privacy area and is clean (didn't use it). My only negatives was that it was a little difficult to get into. I DO NOT BLAME the host for this, but the Hipcamp app's directions had me trying to enter the site through the adjacent neighborhood just before the host's property instead of off of US 421 just before the traffic light. Just be sure if you go here that you enter from the highway and not the neighborhood. The other adjacent property has been cleared out for development (again, not the host's fault) but if you're looking for a secluded hideaway that might not be the case for much longer due to progress. Those are just minor nitpicks to me though, neither of which again blame the hosts for. All in all if you are looking to visit Carolina Beach/Cure Beach/Fort Fisher/Wilmington this would be a good choice for anyone looking for a little solitude away from the busy commercial alternatives. I was happy with my first Hipcamp and would happily come here again!

7 nights at Charlotte's Whispering Pine Farm

The camp hosts are both great people and they take very good care of the grounds. Lots of great accent lighting for magical evenings around the fire, not to mention free firewood! The lane going back to the campgrounds is well maintained and takes you past several historic Volkswagen cars and vans as well as some farm animals that are adorable. I highly recommend if your looking for somewhere to stay in this area!

7 nights at Charlotte's Whispering Pine Farm

Absolutely amazing hosts! Very private and secluded camping and if your a VW enthusiast you will love all the old bugs and camper vans.

Weekend Trip to Green Acres Private Campground

We really enjoyed our stay! We liked how private and secluded the sites are but still close enough to drive to stores and the beach. We will definitely be planning another trip! Connie was very responsive and caring. Would definitely recommend

Weekend Trip to Green Acres Private Campground

My family and I enjoyed our stay. The sites had picnic tables, a fire pit and even a charcoal grill. The location is very private and sorta secluded but you can still easily drive to stores and the beach. During our stay we had a thunderstorm come through and our site (#7) got a bit flooded. Nothing major, just would recommend setting up tent closer to the grass if you know there will be rain during your stay. Connie was very helpful and responsive during our stay. We will definitely be back :)

Great campsite. We were the only people there during the week. Host supplied us firewood. A little road noise but private.

Weekend Trip to Ocean View Micro Farm

We loved camping at Jane’s! It is a beautiful and special place, and Jane is an amazing host! Super easy access for kayaking, too! We’ll be back!

Weekend Trip to Ocean View Micro Farm

Such a special place! Tents can be set up right by the Intracoastal Waterway! Great place to kayak from. Pavilion offers great shelter and Jane is the best host!

Weekend Trip to Ocean View Micro Farm

We loved our stay!! We had a group of twelve 11th graders from our high school Outdoor Club along with three chaperones and we all gave it a glowing 5 stars! The property is amazing. We had one group of tents up near the “honey house” - it had a sink, electric outlets, a bucket toilet and shower. Another group camped down by the water. There is a great pavilion where we enjoyed our meals together. The pavilion also had a bucket toilet and shower. As fantastic as the property was, the host was even better! Jane is so kind, warm and helpful. A nature lover, she shared some of her knowledge with us, gave us tips on things to do and just made us feel so welcomed! We’ll be back!!

7 nights at Charlotte's Whispering Pine Farm

Great hosts and beautiful property. The lane going back is so peaceful and everything is well kept!

3 nights at Park by the Sea- Private Camp Site

We had a fantastic stay at Park by the Sea! The site was exactly as described — peaceful, clean, and perfectly set up. We especially loved being fenced in and allowing our dogs to roam freely. Everything was well-maintained, and it’s clear the host takes a lot of pride in the site. We would absolutely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a quiet place to camp.

Weekend Trip to The Secret Sanctuary Farm

James and Sola are two very amazing and intelligent people who have an obvious passion for what they do and have here. My husband and I had a very wonderful stay, we learned so much about bees, the different flora and fauna around, and were made to feel welcome and at home. At one point in our trip, my husband and I decided to try kayaking for the first time, and I got very spooked. After that, James took us out, taught us what we needed to know, showed us around the creek, and made us feel safer and more comfortable on the kayaks. We were also taught about some awesome fishing tricks and tips from Sola, and now know how to catch and eel! The trip was so much more than just a stay in someone’s cabin. It was a peaceful, welcoming, educational and spiritual space where we had a great time. For anyone considering the Secret Sanctuary, I 1000/10 recommend here.

1 night at Green Acres Private Campground

So cute and you could definitely see how much the host cared. The host messaged me about incoming weather and kept me informed. Really appreciate the citronella candle at the site as well.

3 nights at Green Acres Private Campground

I was unable to stay due to my bus breaking down, but they gave me a full refund so points for that! Even though it was last minute

Weekend Trip to Charlotte's Whispering Pine Farm

I've camped here several times but this was the first we shared the campground with others. 3 other groups camped out on one night and it didn't effect the trip at all. There is so much room to spread out with little established sites with firepits for your choosing. Can't wait to go back

7 nights at Charlotte's Whispering Pine Farm

Very nice campground and friendly hosts. Beautiful lane leading back to the camping area that is maintained very well.

Weekend Trip to Green Acres Private Campground

It was so peaceful. We absolutely loved the property and can't wait to stay again.

Weekend Trip to Green Acres Private Campground

We had a wonderful stay!! Loved it!! The host was super friendly and accommodating.

Weekend Trip to Green Acres Private Campground

Had a great time camping at Green Acres. Very quiet with easy access to Hwy 17 and the Brunswick Beaches. Site 3 was very flat and settled in the back corner of the field. Tons of space made the campground feel very open. I will definitely be returning for more trips.

This is a completley fenced in, gate lot that has water, sewer, and power. Very close to UNCW, Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, Atlantic Ocean, shopping etc. The lot has a cement pad, fully gated, dog/pet friendly, and partially shaded. Surfing, fishing, beach going, dining are all close by. However you have total privacy. There is a live oak with lights in it that hangs over the fence from an adjacent Airbnb (8' Privacy Fence in between). The lights turn on for a few hours each night. The gate can be easily closed for total privacy or to let a pet run around.
