^ Yes it is. There is also a small CG on Holden Beach.

I believe that Holiday Travel Park in Emerald Isle, NC is oceanfront.

it is possible to drive & camp on the actual beach at Carolina Beach, just south of Wilmington. Cost is $20/day, no facilities. You'll need a 4x4, and have to air down for the deep sugary sand above the high tide line. My 19' 4x4 C was the only RV I saw on the beach November of '11. But I sure slept well with the Atlantic as a white noise machine.

There's also some beach camping further north in NC IIRC, but it's on a island only accessible by ferry.

And there are some sites at some of the NPS's OBX CG's that are only a short walk (100 yds?) over a couple of dune lines from the surf.

Jim, "Mo' coffee!"

By chance, did you mean Wilmington which is near beaches?

Closest place to Williamston would be Oregon Inlet Campground, but that is 100 miles away. It is on the back side of the sand dunes so a nice short stroll to the beach.

Actually goose creek only has 12 primitive tent sites.i think there is a campground over near Washington on the water there.

Had to look where williamston was. Don't look like its near the beach at all. The beach there is really on the outer banks and a little bit of a drive. If you just want to be on water then you could probably do goose creek state park. That is if it has campsites. But it's not the beach.
