Weekend Trip to The Mill Creek Spread

5/5 stars for Vader. If you dont like dogs then dont waste his time with this site because he deserves all the love for the good work he does. He guided us out to our site, kept us company as we set up, and guided us out the next day when we were leaving. Truly one of the sweetest dogs I have ever encountered. The site itself is really nice for those who like to just pitch a tent and go rustic for a day. We went during the tropical storm, but the trails and camping space were sturdy enough that nothing flooded or got muddy. Do NOT disregard the tiny car warning, some tree gaps only have a space of about 6 1/4 feet. My Jeep Patriot fit fine but it was mirror to mirror in some gaps. The Host was extremely kind and the property is easy to find! Only about 30 minutes from Wrightsville Beach and there are 24/7 gas stations 5 minutes down the road if you are seeking a full bathroom. Highly recommend this place!

Weekend Trip to Canter Lakes Farm

We enjoyed our camping - the space was private and large with a tree swing for the kids. I did not have to worry about being the "loud family" since there were no other campsites nearby. Kayaks were available for use and the kids loved meeting and petting the pony. The hosts, Julie and Scott were awesome and readily available.

2 nights at The Secret Sanctuary Farm

James and Sola were very nice and welcoming! We stayed at Lokis lookout and enjoyed the serenity! Feeding the animals was a nice welcome to the property, and a great way to start off a quiet camping weekend. We found it super convenient that there was lots of camping equipment for cooking that was made available!

Weekend Trip to Canter Lakes Farm

I went with my two young boys and we all loved it! We got rained on while we were enjoying Wilmington but the property owners helped us tremendously by letting us use some bedding. They were amazing to communicate with and so helpful! The property was beautiful and we wished we had more time to explore it. We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Canter Lakes Farm

Good location- close to Wilmington, and the beach. Nice and secluded river spot

Weekend Trip to Canter Lakes Farm

Great peaceful spot! Bathroom and shower were a plus! Enjoyed kayaking at the pond and yoga in the morning. Thank you!

1 night at Green Acres Private Campground

It was a really nice spot, it was nice and quiet, would do that spot again it's close by nice beaches.

6 nights at Ocean View Micro Farm

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.

Weekend Trip to Green Acres Private Campground

Site 8 was perfect for our long weekend beach trip to OIB! Wanted to save money but still wanted to come on the family vacation, so instead of missing out we decided to camp at Connies! We put up our hammocks up & the breeze was perfect enough to sleep even during the hot days. Just wear your sunscreen ;)

1 night at Ocean View Micro Farm

Jane was the warmest kindest host. The site was great and we enjoyed our time down by the water under the stars. Can’t wait to go back!

4 nights at Canter Lakes Farm

We were living the dream last week at Canter Lakes Farm! The sun shade and bath house were the key amenities and letting the dog off the leash was a great perk. It was kayaking on the pond that put this location over the top! The hosts are so welcoming, too. Highly recommend.

1 night at Green Acres Private Campground

Great little camp spot very clean and quiet! Perfect for tents. Bathrooms a bit away.

3 nights at Green Acres Private Campground

Great spot and only 15 minutes from Sunset Beach! Very clean and hospitable with a picnic table, umbrella, charcoal grill and a nice fire pit.

Weekend Trip to Canter Lakes Farm

What a great place! It is Peaceful and beautiful!.

Weekend Trip to The Pine Tree Retreat

We arrived a little later than anticipated but our dogs still enjoyed the sniff around before bed. We would love to camp here again!

1 night at Untouched at Livingston Creek

Awesome place to stay. I stayed 3 days and it was amazing. Only me and nature!! I am definitely staying again when I get back that ways. Danny is a great guy and fellow Marine. He will work with you and is always willing to go above and beyond to help 10 out of 10

2 nights at The Mill Creek Spread

Perfect for what we needed, Patricia was accessible and pleasant and we didn't need anything. Vader was such an added bonus, our baby loved him and he greeted us every morning and escorted us around. Clean and safe, bed was comfortable, no complaints.

1 night at Worthams Ferry

This was everything and more than we thought it would be. An easy access with drive through site was a perfect for our long skoolie; there is enough parking space for few more buses like our. The campsite felt private and spacious. We kept our Skoolie near the camp fire in upper part of the property near the quiet private road, and went tent camping with my wife and dog for one night near the river. We are boondockers loving the nature and privacy. This location was perfect for our needs. We will come back again for sure.

Weekend Trip to Black River Camping Ventures

Lisa keeps a beautiful property. Her efforts definitely don’t go unnoticed! Our family had a wonderful trip and plan to book again soon.

Weekend Trip to Black River Camping Ventures

First time camper & was told about this camp site . It was nothing short of what was told. Owner was nice, site was well taken care of. Will definitely be going back!
