Cotton Patch Landing

3 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 1 Tent Site, 1 Cottage

On the tranquil banks of Blount's Creek in Chocowinity, North Carolina—in the tidal estuary country of the Inner Banks where the Pamlico River meets the creek system that drains the coastal plain south of Washington—Cotton Patch Landing provides the specific combination of full hookup RV sites, creekside cabin rentals, and a full-service marina that turns a waterfront campground into a genuine boating and fishing destination. The marina's wet slips, bait and tackle shop, fuel station, boat ramp, boat storage, and repair service create the self-contained marine infrastructure that makes Cotton Patch Landing worth a dedicated trip rather than a convenient overnight stop. When the water access is the point, the marina changes what the campground can be. Full hookup RV sites on the creek's edge provide the primary accommodation, and creekside cabin rentals give guests without RVs an enclosed option with direct water proximity. The marina operates as the campground's most substantive amenity: wet slips accommodate transient boaters arriving by water, a bait and tackle shop handles fishing supply needs, boat ramp access is available for guests launching their own vessels, boat rentals and kayak rentals provide water access for guests without their own watercraft, and boat servicing and repair services make the marina useful for boating guests with mechanical issues as well as those in good working order. A fuel station serves both motor vessels and potentially road vehicles from the surrounding area. The marina's ramp and dock give guests immediate fishing and paddle access to Blount's Creek and the Pamlico River system beyond. Men's and women's restrooms with showers, coin-operated laundry facilities, free WiFi throughout the property, and a playground provide the campground infrastructure alongside the marina-focused primary amenities. A seasonal food truck operates for guests who want quick on-site meals without cooking, and fire rings at individual sites provide the evening gathering space that waterfront camping in the Carolina coastal plain traditionally demands. The campground is pet-friendly throughout both the RV sites and select lodging accommodations, with the creek-edge setting giving traveling dogs immediate access to the waterfront environment where water-loving breeds tend to spend as much time as their owners allow. The Pamlico River country surrounding Chocowinity carries a historical and natural character specific to North Carolina's Inner Banks. Washington, North Carolina—one of the state's oldest towns, situated on the Pamlico River just north of Chocowinity—provides waterfront dining, a river walk, and the historic character of a small Eastern Carolina river town that has preserved its antebellum and post-Civil War architecture in ways larger cities' development pressures prevent. The Pamlico River's connection to Pamlico Sound opens the regional boating itinerary to the Sound's shallow coastal waters, barrier island access, and the extraordinary bird life of the coastal plain. Cotton Patch Landing operates year-round in the mild coastal climate of Eastern North Carolina, and spring and fall represent the most productive fishing seasons on Blount's Creek and the Pamlico River. Fishing for bass, crappie, bream, and the variety of species the Pamlico system supports gives anglers specific seasonal targets across the calendar. The marina's combination of boat ramp, rental kayaks, and transient wet slips makes the property serve equally well as a day-use boating base and a multi-day residential camping destination. Reserve your creekside site early for the spring fishing season and let the Pamlico country earn its reputation as the quieter, more accessible alternative to the Outer Banks camping corridor.

Cedar Island Ranch

60 RV Sites, 15 Tent Sites

If there's a more unspoiled corner of the North Carolina coast than Cedar Island, it's a well-kept secret. Cedar Island Ranch sits at the edge of the Pamlico Sound, where miles of undeveloped barrier beach stretch to the horizon and the salt air carries a wildness that feels entirely different from the crowded resort towns to the north. This is the kind of place that resets your clock and reminds you why people first fell in love with the outdoors — raw, genuine, and unforgettable. Sixty RV sites line the property, with 17 offering direct waterfront frontage on the Pamlico Sound and twelve pull-through sites facing Cedar Island beach with sweeping views across the water. Five primitive tent sites sit directly on the beach itself. For those who want more comfort without sacrificing the setting, the ranch offers newly renovated two-bedroom suites and motel-style rooms, making Cedar Island Ranch a place that welcomes every kind of traveler. Electric and water hookups are available, and a full bathhouse provides hot showers after long days outdoors. The heart of Cedar Island Ranch is its horseback riding program. Guided beach rides along miles of pristine, undisturbed shoreline require no experience — wranglers lead guests of all ages through the waves, past wildlife habitat, and across barrier island landscapes that have changed little since the Spanish first explored this coast. Beyond horses, the ranch offers kayak, paddleboard, and canoe rentals for exploring the sound. Fishing from the private boat launch is a daily ritual for many guests. A fenced dog park, volleyball court, community fire pit, and children's playground round out the on-site recreation. Cedar Island's location makes it an exceptional base for exploring the Outer Banks. The Cedar Island Ferry terminal — right at the property's doorstep — carries passengers and vehicles across to Ocracoke Island, putting Cape Hatteras National Seashore within reach for day trips or multi-day adventures. Back on the mainland, the Crystal Coast's beaches, seafood shacks, and maritime heritage sites lie within driving range. The North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores and the historic waterfront of Beaufort — one of the state's most charming colonial-era towns — are both well worth a day trip from this base. Cedar Island Ranch is open year-round, and every season brings its own character. Summer brings warm water and full days on the beach. Fall and spring offer quieter stays with exceptional fishing and birdwatching as migratory species move through. Winter brings a solitude that's increasingly rare on the Atlantic Coast. Whether you arrive for a single night or settle in for a week, Cedar Island Ranch delivers a coastal experience that's difficult to replicate anywhere else. Reservations are strongly recommended in the busy summer months. Cedar Island Ranch is a rare thing — a place that genuinely deserves the word unspoiled — and the guests who find it tend to return every year with good reason.

Dogwood Family Campground

52 RV Sites

Dogwood Family Campground in Newport, North Carolina, offers 52 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 110 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout — one of the most generous length allowances on the Crystal Coast. Sites are numbered individually, including pond and pond view categories, on a Dark Sky Friendly property open all year. Fifty-two sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 110 feet, with site WiFi. Categories are listed site by site — including pond back-ins and pond view back-ins — so you can pick your exact spot rather than a general type. RV storage, firewood, and a playground handle the practical side. The property is deliberately quiet and dark. A pond sits on the grounds for fishing, walking trails run the coastal plain forest, and corn hole and birding fill the rest. The Dark Sky Friendly designation is the distinguishing feature — genuine stargazing on a coast where light pollution usually washes it out. Pets are welcome. Newport sits at the inland edge of the Crystal Coast in Carteret County, which gives the campground unusual dual access: the Croatan National Forest's freshwater recreation and wildlife begin immediately north, while Beaufort's waterfront and the Cape Lookout National Seashore's barrier island beaches are 15 minutes east. A beach and state park are nearby. Open year-round, with summer beach traffic the peak and mild shoulder seasons drawing steady demand. Reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends.

The Lakes RV & Cabin Resort

49 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 4 Tent Sites

The Lakes RV and Cabin Resort in Maysville, North Carolina, offers new cabin accommodations, modern RV sites, and tent sites in Jones County's coastal plain — a versatile camping destination in the eastern North Carolina lowcountry positioned midway between the Croatan National Forest's freshwater lakes and the Crystal Coast's ocean beaches at Emerald Isle and Atlantic Beach, giving guests access to two distinct and compelling natural environments from a single inland base that serves the full range of coastal-plain outdoor recreation without the beach corridor's summer accommodation premium. New cabins with full hookups or full amenities, modern RV sites, and tent sites give the resort the accommodation breadth to serve family groups, solo travelers, and camping parties with widely varying equipment situations and overnight comfort preferences. The resort's family-oriented and welcoming atmosphere reflects a property built for the full spectrum of camping guests from first-timers in borrowed gear to experienced RV travelers with specific hookup requirements. The Jones County location in the eastern North Carolina coastal plain gives the resort the rural quiet and forest edge character that the more densely developed coast communities cannot provide at comparable price points. The Croatan National Forest, wrapping around the Maysville area in Jones and Craven Counties, protects 160,000 acres of coastal plain pocosins — the nutrient-poor, evergreen shrub wetlands unique to the Atlantic coastal plain that sustain an unusual combination of insectivorous plants (Venus flytraps, pitcher plants, sundews), black bears, red-cockaded woodpeckers, and the specific backcountry character of a forest type found nowhere else in the world. Patsy Pond, Great Lake, and the other freshwater lakes within the Croatan provide fishing and paddling access to a coastal plain lake system of striking natural quality. Jacksonville, 10 miles south of Maysville in Onslow County, anchors the regional service infrastructure that Jones County's small towns complement with rural character — restaurants, shopping, medical services, and the Camp Lejeune-sustained commercial economy of a major Marine Corps installation community give Jacksonville the urban services that extended eastern North Carolina stays require. The Crystal Coast's Emerald Isle, Swansboro, and Atlantic Beach communities lie 30 to 40 miles southeast, providing the barrier island ocean beach access that the Croatan National Forest's inland camping experience intentionally omits but that the resort's geographic position makes readily accessible for day trips. The Lakes RV and Cabin Resort serves guests year-round in eastern North Carolina's mild coastal plain climate, where the proximity to the Atlantic's moderating influence keeps both winter and summer temperatures more comfortable than inland North Carolina locations at equivalent latitudes. The spring and fall seasons from April through May and September through October represent the most comfortable camping weather and the best Croatan National Forest hiking and paddling conditions, while summer brings the ocean beach activity that the Crystal Coast's barrier island communities specifically sustain. Reserve cabins ahead for summer weekends when the Crystal Coast regional campground inventory fills from the Raleigh-Durham and Piedmont Triad markets that make the North Carolina coast their primary summer beach destination.

Frisco Woods Campground

210 RV Sites, 31 Cabins, 27 Tent Sites

Frisco Woods Campground in North Carolina offers 210 RV sites, 31 cabins, and 27 tent sites on the Pamlico Sound side of Hatteras Island, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 44 feet. Soundfront back-in categories at both amperages join full-hookup and water-and-electric tiers, with an outdoor pool, recreation center, and maritime forest. Two hundred ten back-in sites span 30-amp, 50-amp, 30/50-amp, water-and-electric, soundfront 30-amp, and soundfront 30/50-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with cable TV, sized to 44 feet. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. The soundfront categories are the reason to book here. Thirty-one cabins and 27 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a recreation center, playground, and dog park filling the grounds. The sound carries boating, canoeing, kayaking, water sports, swimming, and surfing, with productive birding through the maritime forest and wine tasting nearby. Pets are welcome. The soundfront position makes this a premier kiteboarding and windsurfing base — the shallow, steady-wind water of Pamlico Sound is among the best on the East Coast for it, while Cape Hatteras National Seashore's Atlantic beach sits just across the island. The campground has been family owned for five decades. Summer is decisively the season on the Outer Banks. Reserve well ahead.

Oceans RV Resort

193 RV Sites, 10 Cottages

Oceans RV Resort in Holly Ridge, North Carolina, offers 193 full-hookup RV sites and 10 cottages on the Onslow County coastal plain, with 30 and 50-amp service, open all year. Deluxe exterior sites with extended yard and parking join interior and exterior standard and Plus categories, with a pool, fitness center, bar, and boat storage. One hundred ninety-three sites span exterior standard, exterior Plus with extra parking, interior standard, interior Plus with extra parking, and deluxe exterior with extended yard and parking categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with site WiFi, with fire pits and picnic tables. Naming categories by position and by how much parking and yard you get is unusually practical — extra vehicle space matters if you are towing a boat or traveling with a second car. Ten cottages and cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, RV storage, and boat storage handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, with a fitness center, sports courts, pickleball, basketball, corn hole, a pond, playground, dog park, and bar filling the grounds. Fishing, swimming, and picnicking round it out, with planned activities through the season and a beach, golf course, and wine tasting nearby. Pets are welcome. Holly Ridge sits within reach of the Topsail Island beaches and the Crystal Coast's barrier islands, with Camp Lejeune and the region's military heritage close by. Summer beach season drives the heaviest demand on the southern North Carolina coast. Reserve well ahead.

Camp Clearwater Family Campground

112 RV Sites

Camp Clearwater Family Campground in Elizabethtown, North Carolina, offers 111 full-hookup RV sites on White Lake, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted up to 105 feet. Luxury back-in, premium pull-through, and standard pull-through categories sit behind a gated entrance, with a beach, boat ramp, fishing pier, and mini-golf on the property. One hundred eleven sites run in luxury back-in, premium pull-through, and standard pull-through configurations, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 105 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Laundry and restrooms handle the practical side. Two booking notes: the office is closed Wednesdays and staff are occasionally out at RV shows, so call ahead, and a $10 booking fee applies to each reservation on top of listed rates. The lake carries the recreation. A beach gives direct swimming access, a boat ramp and fishing pier serve boaters and anglers, and boating runs from the property. Mini-golf, a ball field, basketball, volleyball, gaga ball, an arcade, a playground, a dog park, and a pavilion fill the grounds, with on-site dining and a boutique shop for meals and supplies. A gated entrance controls access. Pets are welcome. White Lake is a Carolina bay — one of the shallow elliptical lakes found almost exclusively on the Atlantic Coastal Plain — and its artesian-fed water is exceptionally clear, which is the reason families return. The surrounding Bladen County landscape carries longleaf pine restoration and bottomland hardwood forest along the Cape Fear watershed. Summer lake season drives demand. Reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends.

Sandy Ridge Campground and RV Resort

38 RV Sites

Sandy Ridge Campground and RV Resort in Elizabethtown, North Carolina, provides a gated and well-maintained campground experience in Bladen County's coastal plain country, offering a complete recreation and social environment for families and RV travelers exploring the Cape Fear River basin region of southeastern North Carolina. Positioned in one of North Carolina's most forested and least-developed coastal plain counties—a landscape dominated by longleaf pine, pocosin wetlands, and the dark-water rivers and creeks that drain the South Atlantic coastal plain—the resort delivers organized campground entertainment and outdoor recreation in a natural setting that preserves the unhurried character of coastal North Carolina's inland communities. The resort's gated entrance establishes the secure and private character that the property's owners have designed as a distinguishing element, and the amenity package provides comprehensive on-site recreation: an outdoor pool, pond fishing, game room with arcade, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, corn hole, pavilion, playground, general store, propane fills, laundry, Wi-Fi, dump station, and firewood. Full hookup sites with water, electric, and sewer service accommodate extended-stay guests, and the pet-friendly and dog park facilities serve the traveling families whose camping agenda includes their pets. The pond's fishing access provides a natural activity anchor alongside the organized social recreation that the courts and game room deliver. Elizabethtown and Bladen County occupy an unusual ecological position in the North Carolina coastal plain where several distinct natural communities converge—the longleaf pine flatwoods, the Carolina bay wetlands (elliptical peat-filled depressions unique to the Southeast Atlantic coastal plain), and the Cape Fear River's blackwater floodplain forest all intersect in a landscape of extraordinary biological diversity concentrated in one of North Carolina's most rural and least-visited counties. The region's dark-water rivers and isolated bay lakes provide habitat for rare and endemic plant species found nowhere else on Earth. Jones Lake State Park, approximately five miles north of Elizabethtown, protects one of the most pristine Carolina bay lakes in existence—a natural lake formed in one of the mysterious elliptical depressions that dot the southeastern coastal plain in alignments that have inspired geological and even cosmological theories about their origin. The lake's swimming beach, paddling, and fishing provide the most developed public outdoor recreation in Bladen County's immediate vicinity. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina's Grand Strand resort complex lies approximately 75 miles southeast via US-74, and the historic antebellum plantation landscape of the Lower Cape Fear region provides cultural heritage exploration accessible from Elizabethtown. Sandy Ridge Campground operates year-round in the North Carolina coastal plain's mild subtropical climate, where the September-through-April shoulder and winter seasons deliver pleasant camping temperatures in the longleaf pine country and the summer months bring the pool and game room into maximum use during the school-vacation family camping peak. The coastal plain's mild winter temperatures make it a viable alternative to more crowded and expensive coastal campgrounds for snowbirds who want southeastern North Carolina's mild climate without the higher costs and competition for sites at the beach communities. Advance reservations for summer holiday weekends ensure preferred site availability at the gated resort's limited total capacity.

In The Pines RV & Cabin Village

8 Cabins

In The Pines RV and Cabin Village in Bolivia, North Carolina, is a quiet, nature-close camping destination in Brunswick County — a tucked-away small campground near Wilmington that gives campers the peaceful pine forest setting as an alternative to the coastal strand resort campgrounds, with RV sites and cabin accommodations in the longleaf pine and wiregrass woodland that the Brunswick County interior's sandhills landscape sustains between the Cape Fear River and the Intracoastal Waterway's coastal strand. Bolivia's Brunswick County position on US-17 south of Leland gives the campground the practical access to both the Wilmington metropolitan area's cultural and historical attractions and the Brunswick Island beaches that the US-17 and NC-211 corridor connects to Holden Beach, Sunset Beach, and Ocean Isle Beach in the Brunswick County's most visited family beach communities. Small-scale RV sites and cabin accommodations in the pine forest setting give In The Pines the specific quiet, close-to-nature character of a Brunswick County campground whose scale and natural setting give guests the pine forest camping experience that the larger commercial campgrounds' developed landscape cannot sustain — the campground's tucked-away character and the surrounding longleaf pine woodland give the Bolivia property its specific identity as a nature-first campground in the Brunswick County sandhills landscape that was historically the native range of the longleaf pine ecosystem. Pets are welcome. The Brunswick County Islands — Holden Beach, Ocean Isle Beach, Sunset Beach, and Brunswick Island — give the campground its most visited day-trip destinations on the North Carolina coast south of Wilmington, where the Brunswick County barrier island beaches' calm family character, the Intracoastal Waterway's boating and kayaking access, and the Brunswick Islands' less-commercialized resort character distinguish the Brunswick strand from the more developed Outer Banks and Myrtle Beach resort corridors. Sunset Beach's Kindred Spirit Mailbox on Bird Island — the most remote accessible beach in Brunswick County — sustains the decades-old tradition of strangers leaving journal entries in the beachfront mailbox. Southport, 20 miles southeast of Bolivia on NC-211 at the Cape Fear River's mouth in Brunswick County, is one of North Carolina's most charming and most filmed coastal communities — a Victorian-era river port whose tree-lined streets, the North Carolina Maritime Museum at Southport's maritime heritage collection, and the recurring role as the filming location for films and TV productions (Safe Haven, Under the Dome, and Dawson's Creek among others) give the Brunswick County port town its specific combination of architectural heritage and coastal town character. The Fort Anderson Civil War earthworks at Brunswick Town State Historic Site eight miles north give the Cape Fear River its specific colonial and Civil War heritage. In The Pines RV and Cabin Village serves guests year-round in Brunswick County's mild southeastern North Carolina coastal climate, with the spring and fall seasons providing the most comfortable camping conditions for the longleaf pine forest walks and the Brunswick Island beach visits that the US-17 corridor's easy access to the barrier island bridges enables without the summer heat and maximum beach crowd density. The N.C. Aquarium at Fort Fisher, 25 miles northeast of Bolivia in New Hanover County, is the largest aquarium in North Carolina — a 100,000-gallon shark tank and the sea turtle recovery program give the Fort Fisher facility the coastal marine ecology interpretation. Reserve sites and cabins ahead for the summer beach season and the fall migratory shorebird season on the Brunswick strand.

Spacious Skies Sandy Run

61 RV Sites

Spacious Skies Sandy Run in Fayetteville, North Carolina, offers 61 full-hookup RV sites beneath longleaf and loblolly pines, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 90 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout.

Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric pull-through does not carry sewer at the site. Ninety feet is exceptional and accommodates the longest coaches with a tow. Cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. All guests check in at the main office and sign the terms — e-signature in advance is encouraged. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a jumping pillow, gem mining, walking trails, hiking, biking, a pond, creek, playground, pavilion, and dog park filling the rest. Fishing and swimming round it out. Pets are welcome. The Sandhills pine forest gives the property genuine character, and the position serves a specific market well — Fort Liberty, the largest Army installation in the country, is less than an hour north, which brings a steady flow of military families and visitors alongside travelers on the Cape Fear corridor. Spring and fall are most comfortable in the Sandhills. Reserve ahead for graduation and change-of-station periods.

Timberline Glamping at Williamsburg

5 Glamping Sites

Fully furnished Safari Tents accommodate families and groups in genuine style, configured as two double beds or a king with two sets of bunk beds.

A hammock, wood fire ring with cooking grate, picnic table, and two outdoor chairs complete the tent's outdoor living space. Bathhouses with modern restrooms and showers are a short walk away, and two outdoor swimming pools provide a social gathering space for guests of every age. A small store, boat ramp, fishing pier, and direct access to the Virginia Capital Trail for cycling and walking round out the on-site amenities. Pets are welcome.

Kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, and stand-up paddleboarding on the river provide water recreation from the park's own shoreline, and the Capital Trail's miles of scenic bikeway begin directly at the property. Colonial Williamsburg, a short drive away, is the most complete living history site in America — costumed interpreters, preserved 18th-century buildings, and immersive colonial trade demonstrations that fill a full day without repetition. Jamestown Settlement, where Powhatan's Confederacy met the English colony that started everything, and Yorktown Battlefield, site of the final decisive engagement of the American Revolution, complete the Historic Triangle that makes this corner of Virginia genuinely irreplaceable for any American traveler. Busch Gardens Williamsburg adds roller coasters, live shows, and theme park scale for families who want to balance history with thrills. Timberline Glamping at Williamsburg is open seasonally, with the warm-weather months delivering the full combination of river recreation and regional historical access. The blend of comfortable furnished lodging, Chickahominy riverfront setting, and proximity to three of America's most significant historical sites makes this one of the most purposefully positioned glamping destinations on the entire East Coast.
