Camping near Kure Beach, North Carolina
Kure Beach sits at the southern end of Pleasure Island in New Hanover County, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Cape Fear River. It shares the peninsula with Carolina Beach and Fort Fisher State Recreation Area, putting RV travelers within a few minutes of ocean beaches, salt marsh trails, and Civil War history. The area draws families for its compact footprint, walkable town center, and public beach access points along Fort Fisher Boulevard.
RV travelers have a mix of options within a short drive. Winner's RV Park and Snow's Cut RV Retreat sit on the island itself or just across the Intracoastal Waterway, while Wilmington KOA Holiday works well for travelers combining beach days with downtown Wilmington. Oak Island Campground and Holden Beach RV Campground extend the search southwest across the Cape Fear River for quieter barrier-island stays.
The closest public campground is Carolina Beach State Park, a few miles north of Kure Beach on Snow's Cut.
Things to do around Kure Beach
Fort Fisher State Recreation Area anchors the outdoor scene, protecting roughly six miles of undeveloped shoreline with trails through salt marsh and pedestrian beach access around the clock. Surf fishing is popular, and four-wheel-drive vehicles are permitted on the beach with a park-issued permit, running 24 hours a day from September 15 to March 31 and on a shorter window during warmer months. Lifeguards are on duty from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend.
Carolina Beach State Park, just north on Snow's Cut, offers wooded hiking trails known for Venus flytraps and other carnivorous plants, plus a marina with boat launches and slips on the Cape Fear River.
Families usually add the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher, the Fort Fisher State Historic Site, and the Fort Fisher-Southport passenger and vehicle ferry across the river mouth.

Spring and fall are the sweet spot for RV travel. Highs run in the 70s and low 80s Fahrenheit, humidity is lower, and campgrounds are easier to book. Fort Fisher's beach opens to 24-hour four-wheel-drive access from September 15 to March 31, which draws surf anglers through the cooler months.
