Campgrounds near Jacksonville North Carolina

We are new to RVing, as we just bought a 2001 Monoco Diplomat. Our son is stationed at Camp Lejeune and we would like to find a place within an hour of Base preferably near the beach for a visit. Possibly between Wilmington and Morehead City.Anyone have recomendations of a good Campground.

  • Do what st687 said. If no luck try Cabin Creek Campground 3200 Wilmington Hwy Jacksonville NC 28540 910-346-4808. This campground is close to the New River Main Gate. Roy
  • Our son lived in Cabin Creek Campground in a fifth-wheel while stationed at Little River Marine Corps Air Station (near Camp LeJeune), and we visited him there in our motorhome. The staff was friendly (a workkamping couple) and the place was clean, quiet, and neat. It was not a resort park by any means, but neither was it expensive. There was a pool and a playground (but it was winter when we were there.)

    As you might expect near a military base, there are quite a few trailer parks in this area and some offer short-term rentals to campers. You can easily find many of them by using Google Maps. Just zoom in on the area of interest and type "camp grounds" in the search box at the top of the page.

    There are also quite a number of web sites dedicated to locating campgrounds for RV-ers.
  • Talk to your Marine about staying at the Onslow Beach RV Park on the base.
