This property is unimproved and unmaintained raw natural land. The entire property is surrounded by a farm drainage ditch on all sides, with random farm drainage ditches to insure the land is dry and a 60’ x 60’ old farm irrigation pond (see satellite photo to know where the ditches are located). There is plenty of seasoned raw wood (from when the property was cleared 4 years ago) laying randomly throughout the property to cut and collect for a camp fire. The land is located off a dirt access road that is well maintained by the county. The county dirt road can provide for hours of peaceful riding via mountain bikes. Campers are more than welcome to cut their own path on the land for their campsite. There is a fire pit by the large tree when first entering the property at Entrance 2 (please see photos for the locations of Entrance 1 and 2). Note: This raw land is unmaintained and was last cleared 4 years ago, photos are from April 2022. There is a video tour posted on youtube of the property, which can be navigated to via our twitter site link that is shared here as our website address. Please note as of 2025, we have 2 parking areas roped off with yellow rope, one parking area is 20’ x 50’ with crushed aggregate the other parking area is 20’ x 45’. This area is camping in the raw, a designated resting spot for a Camper Van, it is not for an amateur as clearing brush may be necessary and is priced accordingly no frills. Campers will likely will be greeted by friendly neighbors now as opposed to long ago. We understand the previous problem left. :-)

I spent a few days here in early December and just extended for the next month. It’s a charming, rural spot with full amenities at all sites, bathrooms including showers, washer and dryer. Pet friendly with trails to take my dog for a walk. Will and Lorie have been exceptionally kind and welcoming and came to check on me during a recent cold spell. Very safe and private. There’s a nearby mobile rv technician, Mike the RV Medic who helped me repair my furnace and was very professional. Very reasonable rates for everything being offered. I highly recommend!

I came here in early November and wound up extending my stay twice because we enjoyed it so much. Connie and Jeff have a beautiful well maintained piece of property with plenty of level ground for the camper. There were several trails I explored with my pets and plenty of wood for fires at night. Plus only a 15 minute drive to the beach. It felt very private and safe the whole time I was there. I hope to be back someday!

Camp is great and well kept. Lots of space and very private but still close to anything and everything you could want. It's close to the beach so of course it's going to be hot and humid with mosquitos so be prepared if you have a tent in the hot months!

2 nights at Boho Hideaway

This was a great experience! The yurt was awesome and the hosts had everything you would need to enjoy yourself. It rained for the 2 days we were there, but the yurt stood strong with no leaks. I loved listening to the rain on the tent at night. The short walk to separate cottage had a fully equipped kitchenette, washer/dryer, and the bathroom was huge with a fantastic waterfall shower head. We had a small issue with the washer that just a phone call to the hosts was made, and they were there in minutes to fix it. It is located within 5 miles to the beach and was just a short drive to great waterfront restaurants! We will definitely be back! I highly recommend The Boho Hideaway!

I came to this beautiful sight to stay while visiting a friend for some golf. The place is beautiful, well-maintained, and Lorie is the sweetest! She accommodated a last-minute change for me without hesitation. My dog and I had long walks together, weather permitting. The atmosphere is clearly western, and I felt like the wagons had circled for a rest on our journey. The horses grazing and rolling in the grass were a big plus. Uber clean restrooms and showers. Laundry availability a plus. My golf? Cancelled due to lightning. I will be back, maybe in the spring before the summer heat.

We loved the horse trailer mini-house. It was perfect for our weekend in the area. Careful with the hot water. It is very hot and tricky to get the hot/cold mix just right.

Weekend Trip to Green Acres Private Campground

I was quite skeptical using this app for the first time. This camp site was the first we tried out! We had absolutely NO issues with anything. It was very secluded and we even added shower bags and wood to our reservation. It was SO worth the extra $5 a piece! We weren’t at the site much due to exploring the shops and beaches. We did see Connie only one time and she was extremely nice when we did. I liked that she actually checks on the campground, seeing if anyone needed anything. They even have a toy box full of badminton kits and other toys to play with friends. I would most definitely recommend coming to this site if you’re going to the Ocean Isle area!
