Our little private campground is a hidden jewel in the making. Each campsite is private. We are not a parking lot like so many campgrounds are these days. We are still currently working on infrastructure but are willing to host campers that are self sufficient at a reduced rate for now. We do have a fun play ground, hiking trails, a steam we lovingly named Alligator Gore (to keep the little ones out of the mud). We are pet friendly. Each site has a fire ring or fire pit. We have a full bathroom available. We have a small camp store. We have group camp sites, pull through RV / Camper sites and a few glamping cabins. Located only 40 minutes from the NC coast and much more affordable and less crowded. We are still growing so we do not have a pool yet but will have one in the future. We do have a kids and youth program with weekly crafts and other activities. Picnic tables are available on some sites. Almost across the street is a wonderful boat ramp and fishing spot on the Cape Fear River. Canoe down to a sand bank about a mile down river and have a romantic picnic. A Celtic themed restaurant, the Mad Boar, is just a 10 minute drive if you are looking for a unique farm to table experience. And Duplin Winery is just 15 minutes away with tastings and tours. Located just 10 minutes from I-40 off US 41 we are easily found. A diamond in the rough.

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.

This place is comfortable, peaceful, and had several flat places to pitch a tent. Mark was very responsive and his directions were clear. One hint - there is a bright street light near the trampoline. It did not bother us but you should know.
All in all we recommend staying here.

Have stayed here 3 times now. This place is a camping gem. Beautiful piece of property. You really feel tucked away in the forest. Still can’t believe this is so close to my house. Highly recommend for a weekend get away! Also - the owners really take pride in these campsites. You can tell they have put a lot of hard work into their land!

I loved tent camping on Megan’s homestead! Even though it rained the whole night, my pup and I felt very warm and safe tucked in their wooded trees. So thankful for access to an indoor sink and toilet! The farm animals are adorable and fun, and the whole family was very welcoming and hospitable! ☀️ Americas finest!

We had such a good stay on Megan’s land. We tent camped with our 2 year old for 2 nights and he absolutely loved seeing the animals and playing by the creek. We didn’t make it for him to feed the animals but there is so many to see, kids would absolutely love this experience. The whole family was so helpful and friendly. Just the right amount of privacy. We have nothing bad to say and would absolutely stay with them again!

Wonderfully secluded campsites a ways off the highway, on the banks of a beautiful little pond. Some of the sites are not numbered, so I'm not entirely sure which I stayed at, I think Site 8, but it is beautiful. At night, there were fireflies over the pond, which I haven't seen in years. The gravel/dirt drive back to the sites around the back pond is a little rough, especially after a rain, if you don't have 4WD and good ground clearance you might want to stick to the sites closer to the road. There's lots of wildlife, you'll scare up a few rabbits on the drive back, and I woke up to wild turkeys not a hundred feet away one morning. There is a little traffic noise from the highway, but the crickets and cicadas mostly drown it out. Overall a very pleasant and peaceful campground.

This was such a good getaway for myself and my partner and our two dogs. We camped pretty far back and it STORMED when we were checking in (our fault for arriving during a storm), but the ground dried up SO fast at our site. No puddles by morning. It was perfect. Contessa was so kind and helpful the entire time we were there. It was great fishing, very private camping, and great kayaking. I have to make sure when we camp with our dogs that we have a lot of privacy because one of my dogs is terrified of strangers and having strangers everywhere can cause some chaos, so we try to just stick to ourselves and are careful about where we camp. We couldn't have asked for more privacy. Even the spots that are closer together are separated by brush and trees. There were trees to hang a hammock, and a tarp over our tent. There's a Walmart 20 mins from site. We WILL be back!! Thank you for everything. Sorry we came when it was storming.

I love my experience here every time I come out here it’s quiet it’s peaceful very secluded. When you have other campers come out here they never bother you. It’s a very peaceful tranquility spot. I’m always gonna recommend people to come out here all the time and the reason why is because sometimes you just need to go set your ass up up in the forest, a.k.a. your tent and once in a while, just spend a little time in nature and just kick back and just really appreciate life once again. This is the most amazing property that I found the host are amazing people and their property is an amazing property as well

We enjoyed our stay at Bright Star Farms! The hosts were great and the animals were vocal. The hosts were really responsive when we asked questions and very accommodating.

So friendly and welcoming! Loved being able to get away and relax. Waking up to horses was a plus and our daughter loved all the animals. Definitely recommend.
