Park by the Sea- Private Camp Site

1 site · RV25 acres · Wilmington, NC

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.

Someday Lane

1 site · RV3 acres · Ash, NC

My wife and I have been blessed to share our eternal lives with one-another. Many years ago we learned that we cannot wait to "live our lives" when we reach "retirement" so we enjoy each day to the fullest. Some friends couldn't understand when we moved to southeast NC without any PLAN for our future. We are just happy to be alive each and every day that we are here. We made "someday" into "today" and we are happy to share the experience with you Learn more about this land: We are located in southeast NC, approximately 15-20 miles from area beaches. Our location is very "country" with lots of wildlife (deer, fox, rabbits, birds, etc...) roaming about. It is very quiet in the evenings and overnight. The campsite has a large paver stone patio and picnic table. We have a fire pit and when able we would be happy to host a night around the fire. We are pet friendly but request that dogs be on a leash or tie-out. We expect guests to pickup pet "litter". Campers are encouraged to use the swing and chairs set back under the pines. Also campers will find a guest book in the little library under the pine tree with a concrete bench nearby (you drive around in as you pull into the campsite). The book contains our WiFi password (service not guaranteed). Please leave us a note about your stay.

Lake Linda

26 ft pop-up camper

2 nights at Lake Linda

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!

I absolutely can’t give enough praise for Jane’s hospitality and for the space itself. This is a kayaker’s dream spot for accessing inner waterways & secluded beaches. Plus you’re 10 minutes’ drive from shops and a 5 minute walk from a delicious restaurant. It’s such a peaceful haven — I spent a lotta time in the hammock watching birds and reading.

I loved camping here! I came for a getaway for three nights and it was a blast! I had no car and was able to stay entertained with things to do! The battleground across the street was fun to walk through and learn the history of! I strongly recommend staying here!

The Pine Tree Retreat

Weekend Trip to The Pine Tree Retreat

My husband and I had an amazing weekend camping on Joseph’s beautiful property! It’s private and secluded, and provided the perfect layout for our tent camping (just a note to bring earplugs if you’re sensitive to the sounds of nature :-)). We also brought our kayaks and had a lovely time on the water. Joseph is super kind, helpful, and responsive. The property is close to necessities like groceries and gas, and also somewhat close to beaches if you want to diversify your trip. We did go offsite for a bit to check out Makai Brewing, which we thought had some great beers. We loved our time at Joseph’s place so much that we made a second booking before finishing our first!
