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.

The Meadow T6

100% (3)
Tent site · Sleeps 10
Tent site 6 opens up onto the tiny meadow and has easy access to the camp store and bathroom. Trees and bushes still give you a sense of privacy for your site. No concrete or rocks. This is true nature. We do provide a fire pit, picnic table and trash can as well as free firewood. Pets welcome but must be under owners control at all times and leashed when leaving your site. The Cape Fear River is conveniently located less than a mile away for great fishing and boating. Surf City is only 40 miles away. Please be aware that this site is at the front of our camp and not in the deep woods. Its biggest advantage is easy access to the bathroom and room for multiple tents ( tent, mess tent, canopy, etc. ).
