Former Wilmingtonian here, lived there off and on for 25 years. If you go to Wilmington, NC, there are very few campgrounds, and only one I would recommend. The Wilmington KOA is on Market St. (US 17) north of Wilmington. Beware of the others. We accidentally stayed one time at a campground on Carolina Beach Road (US 421), it was horrible. No amenities, and the water looked and smelled like it came out of the gray water tank. The place was badly rundown, and would make a great location for a Steven King movie. There's at least one place in Carolina Beach, but it is hardly worth mentioning. If you're into boondocking, Carolina Beach State Park has primitive RV sites, they are cheap.
There's a KOA further south, off of US 17 near Sunset Beach, we've never stayed there but I hear it is good. Myrtle Beach has a lot of good RV parks/resorts. Both Wilmington and Myrtle Beach have heavy traffic, in case you didn't know, but depending on where you live, it may be light traffic to you!
Oh, and you may want to check out Topsail Beach, just a little north of Wilmington. There are several campgrounds in/near there, many of them are decent as far as I know.
