Camper reviews for Carolina Beach State Park
Great spot for sound side water access
It's expensive to stay at the beach but this SP is a great place to stay with a budget in mind. Some sites are a bit tight so check the dimensions and photos carefully when reserving. There are also camper cabins that are especially good when the weather is hot and the bugs are swarming. Cabins have 2 small rooms and beds--like an air conditioned/heated tent! The marina has wood, ice, and other provisions in their small store (and a laundry room too). Kayaks, SUPs and canoes are available for rent. I'm telling you, this park has LOTS to offer in addition to being at the beach!
DON'T MISS: hiking the flytrap trail to see Venus flytraps growing in the wild. How cool is that?
