River Bend Retreat 🎣🚣‍♂️🚤🔥🛁 Welcome to a quiet waterfront site made for people who love life on the water. At River Bend Retreat, you can fish straight from the dock, launch your kayak, and even put your boat in using our private community boat ramp 1/4 mile from the home. Boats up to 20 feet can be tied up and kept on the dock during your stay, making it easy to spend full days exploring the NE Cape Fear River. When the sun goes down, you can cook by the fire pit, unwind under the trees and stars, and, if you choose, upgrade your night with a WOOD-FIRED HOT TUB overlooking the river. Our hand-built Wood Fired Tub is available as an add-on for guests who want to turn a fishing trip into a relaxing retreat. For $50 per night, we pre-fill the tub and set it up for you, and the price includes three bundles of wood, which is enough to heat and maintain the tub for the evening. All you have to do is light the fire, wait for the water to warm, and settle in for a quiet soak outdoors. This site is available to RVs and campervans only, and offer full hookups , including septic, 110v power, and fresh water (for additional price). There is no bathroom on the property, so your RV or campervan must be fully self-contained with its own toilet and shower. The pull-through driveway is flat, and the dock, hot-tub and fire pit are all conveniently located just steps from your parking spot. Extra firewood is available if needed, and the dock has lighting for night fishing, as well as space to tie off kayaks or small boats during your stay. The site also offers a flat 6 mile dirt road perfect for a peaceful walk or hike, where you can explore and even search for historic shark teeth. 35 min to Wrightsville Beach River Bend Retreat offers simple, comfortable riverside camping with all the best amenities for anglers and paddlers. Bring your rods, bring your kayak or boat, enjoy quiet evenings by the fire, and treat yourself to a wood-fired soak if you want to make it truly special. It’s all here waiting for you on the river. 🎣🚣‍♂️🚤🔥🛁 Please note: There is a private residence on the property, so guests should expect occasional quiet activity, but your camping area remains private and dedicated to your stay. You may be greeted by Basil our friendly little pup.

Great level spots with all the hookups you need and quiet too. Study the entrance on Google Maps before you go so you know what you are looking for.

Weekend Trip to The Lakes RV & Cabin Resort

I almost don't want to leave a review for this gem of a RV Resort because then it'll be hard to get a reservation! :) What a great place!! This a relatively new campground with a beautiful pool, covered pavilion with lots of seating and what looks like brand-new playground equipment. Plus, lots of places to fish, kayak and swim in their lakes. They had activities & food trucks all weekend. And hayrides! We live about 200 miles away but we will definitely be back!

We were able to find the campsite without much trouble (we actually used the address of the neighbor to locate the driveway more easily based on street view. We arrived and our host described where to go. Although we had hoped to see some horses while here, there weren't any out during our stay. I will say if many of the sites were full, I'd be concerned with turning a larger rig combo like ours to exit. Other than that, we had a pleasant stay and would return in the future.
