Campgrounds near Navassa
Navassa sits on the Brunswick County side of the Cape Fear River, just across the water from Wilmington and within easy reach of southeastern North Carolina's barrier-island beaches. For RV travelers, the town works as a quiet base for exploring Wilmington's historic riverfront, Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, and Oak Island, all reachable in under an hour.
Most overnight RV options cluster along the US 17 and US 421 corridors that link Navassa to Wilmington and the coast. Wilmington KOA Holiday, Snow's Cut RV Retreat, Horses To Harleys Campground, Winner's RV Park, and Oak Island Campground cover a mix of full-hookup coastal parks, wooded inland sites, and beach-adjacent locations. Winner's RV Park is the only dedicated RV park on Pleasure Island in Carolina Beach.
Campers also have access to Carolina Beach State Park, a public campground about 12 miles south of Wilmington with a mix of no-hookup and full-hookup RV sites plus camper cabins. The park stays open year-round, except Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and books through the North Carolina State Parks reservation system, giving Navassa-area visitors a public-land option alongside the private RV parks.
Things to do near Navassa
The area is built around water. Anglers, kayakers, and boaters use the Cape Fear River, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the marina at Carolina Beach State Park, where a private concessionaire rents kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, and bikes in season. Beach days are easy from any of the nearby RV parks, with Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, and Oak Island all within a short drive.
History and family stops fill out the rest of a trip. The Battleship North Carolina sits on the river in downtown Wilmington, and Fort Fisher State Recreation Area combines Civil War history with open beach access. Airlie Gardens, the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher, and the Riverwalk in downtown Wilmington all work well for a mixed-age group. Carolina Beach State Park also offers about nine miles of hiking trails through habitats where the native Venus flytrap grows.

Camping in and around the Wilmington area runs year-round thanks to a mild coastal climate, but the shoulder seasons deliver the most comfortable RV weather. Spring and fall bring pleasant daytime temperatures, lower humidity, and fewer bugs, and these are typically the easiest windows for last-minute site availability at both private parks and Carolina Beach State Park. The NC Azalea Festival each April draws large crowds to Wilmington and pushes lodging demand up sharply that week.
Summer is the peak booking season. Coastal sites near Carolina Beach, Wrightsville Beach, and Oak Island fill quickly, especially around Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day. Expect hot, humid afternoons with frequent thunderstorms; heavy summer rainfall is normal along this stretch of coast, with August typically the wettest month.
Late summer through fall is Atlantic hurricane season, and coastal parks occasionally close or evacuate ahead of tropical systems. Winter is the quietest stretch, with generally mild days, occasional freezing nights between mid-November and mid-March, and some seasonal amenities like campground pools closed until spring.
