For Carolina Beach State Park: First night visiting cousins in town for diner and returned at 9:05pm. Park closed with major padlocks. No phone to call. Boondocked at entrance until 6:30am.
Next night my 14yo water dog had vet emergency. Was locked in. No phone to call. Had to call Uber to vet and leave van at entrance
Shame on this inconsiderate park host. Never again.

For Carolina Beach State Park: Very conveniently located with much to do nearby. SP campground is reasonably well maintained with the second restroom/shower house to open soon. Although a sign states “campground full†it was not, with multiple amenity-free sites remaining empty during our two day stay. One ding is their pack it in-pack it out policy falls short when the dumpster remains overflowing. That said, very pretty with many short trails available.

For Carolina Beach State Park: In December and January gates are locked at 6:pm, making this less a campground and more a detention center.

For Carolina Beach State Park: Large campsites in wooded area with lots of wildlife. We had full hook-ups and very large site. No wifi and some OTA TV channels. Fire pit and picnic table at each site. Bathhouses were older but very clean.

For Carolina Beach State Park: Nicely spaced sites in the woods. They are in the midst of hooking up the bathhouses to the city sewer system and there are plans to upgrade 8 sites to full hook-up and to build some cabins. This would be a great campground it there were sites with electricity.

For Carolina Beach State Park: Sign says park closes at 10, I think it should say gates are locked at 10 and you can't leave even if you are a camper. If by chance you are locked out after 10 there is no place to park your car and walk in,

For Carolina Beach State Park: We came here thinking it was a beach park. We were wrong. Its the name of the city. That was our mistake. There is no power here so you will sweat big time in the summer. We did. Funny thing, is we stayed here in 2006 at the marina and they have power there. So I would recommend to only stay here if you have a boat. This will be marked as dry camping with heat. They had plenty of level pull throughs but the heat was rough in July. No bike trails either, so everything had to be walked.
