Just North of Wilmington, there is http://www.lanierscampground.com/. and Surf City family CG on the island it self. If fact Surf City is the only oceanfront CG between Myrtle Beach, and The OBX. It is however small, and closed for winter.

these are just a few choices, IF you sometime can't get into the KOA. Holden and Shalotte are not far from Wilmington.

Man, thanks for this. At the Wilmington KOA we are like, 15 minutes from Wrightsville where family lives. But, I much prefer the quiet and less crowded campground. There are many times a year when the Wilmington KOA is booked solid. If you're going in the summer or a holiday make your reservations way in advance. I have asked them in the past about making more full hookup sites and they said that the issue had to do with city limitations on the number of sewer connections per acre or something like that. We camped at North Topsail one time some years ago and loved it. The Marine base is close by and one night we could hear the howitzers firing rounds and a few seconds later the explosions. It was way off in the distance so, it wasn't loud at all but, still pretty cool.
