We are going to stay a few days in southport and was wondering whats a good campground to stay at near the city?
Myrtle Beach Travel Park, Or The Wilmington KOA. The Shalotte KOA would be the closest to Southport. Fact is. There are NO good CGs near Southport. In fact there are NO oceanfront CGs between MBTP, and Surf City Family CG on Top Sail Island, North of Wilmington.
There are some back inland. But they are mostly trailer parks, and mostly permanent trailers.
Unless you want to stay is a NC state park with no hookups. and ride the ferry over, and unless you are a Veteran. I believe you can stay in the Military recreation area at Fort Fisher, and again ride the ferry to Southport.
Opps. Just read Shalotte KOA is closed
