Camping near Brunswick, North Carolina
Brunswick County sits at the southeastern corner of North Carolina, where the Cape Fear River meets the Atlantic. The area is used mainly as a base for the South Brunswick beaches (Sunset, Ocean Isle, Holden), the town of Southport, and the Calabash waterfront. Wilmington is roughly 30 to 45 minutes northeast, and North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is about the same distance to the southwest.
RV options in and around the county range from beach-focused private resorts to inland parks with more space per site. WillowTree RV sits about 12 miles inland from the Atlantic in Longs, SC, with paved pull-through sites and full hookups, and Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resort: Daddy Joe's leans toward family and long-stay travelers. Carolina Backwoods and Sandy Ridge Campground and RV Resort offer quieter, wooded settings within driving distance of the coast.
For a public-land alternative, Princess Ann - Lumber River State Park, about an hour inland, provides walk-in tent sites and paddle-in access on a federally designated Wild and Scenic blackwater river. It is the closest North Carolina state park camping area to Brunswick County.
Things to do near Brunswick
Beach days anchor most trips. Sunset Beach, Ocean Isle Beach, Holden Beach, Oak Island, and Caswell Beach all have public access points, and the county is known for shelling, surf fishing, and easy paddling in the intracoastal marshes. Golf is heavy in this corridor, with dozens of courses between Calabash and the state line.
Southport offers a walkable historic waterfront and the ferry to Bald Head Island. Fort Fisher State Historic Site and the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher are a short drive north via the Southport-Fort Fisher ferry.
Inland, the 115-mile Lumber River earned federal designation as a National Wild and Scenic River, the only blackwater river in the state to have that honor, and it supports paddling, fishing, and wildlife viewing from the Princess Ann access.

Peak season runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day, when beach demand is highest and coastal RV parks book out weeks in advance. Wilmington has a humid subtropical climate with hot summers, and summertime heat can become excessive, especially when high humidity accompanies hot temperatures, and afternoon thunderstorms are common. Spring and fall are milder and typically less busy, and October often brings some of the most reliable beach weather of the year.
Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, with the highest probability of tropical storms and hurricanes between mid-August and mid-October. Travelers arriving in that window should track the National Hurricane Center forecast and confirm campground evacuation policies before arrival.
Winter is mild but damp, and many private campgrounds stay open year-round for snowbirds. Inland public sites at Lumber River State Park sit on a blackwater river that can flood after heavy rain, so travelers should check current conditions with the park office before booking a paddle-in or riverside site.
How to book
Private parks in Brunswick County take reservations directly through their own websites or through platforms like Campspot, Good Sam, and Hipcamp. Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resort: Daddy Joe's, WillowTree RV, Carolina Backwoods, and Sandy Ridge Campground and RV Resort all operate on private booking systems, and holiday weekends often require multi-night minimums.
For Princess Ann - Lumber River State Park, reservations go through the North Carolina State Parks system at ncparks.gov/reservations or by calling ReserveAmerica. Reservations must be made at least one day ahead of arrival and can be made up to six months in advance. Check-in is at the park office on arrival.
What to expect on the ground
Coastal private parks in this area typically offer full hookups, paved or gravel pads, pools, and family amenities. WillowTree RV, for example, is an RV-only resort in Longs, SC, about 12 miles inland from the Atlantic, with extra-large paved pull-through sites and full 20/30/50 amp hookups. Sites at the Yogi Bear-branded resort lean toward family programming with themed activities.
Princess Ann - Lumber River State Park is a very different experience. Princess Ann has eight primitive tent-only walk-to campsites and one group site, with walks from the parking area ranging from about 125 to 275 feet, and each site has a table, lantern post, fire ring and grill. There are no hookups, no bathhouse, and only a pit toilet at Lumber River campgrounds. Bring your own firewood, expect limited cell coverage, and plan for insects in warmer months. A North Carolina fishing license is required for anyone angling on the river.
