Carolina Beach Family Campground

This is not a campground, this is a cesspool. Its location is literally the ONLY thing good about it. I wouldn't camp here again if THEY paid me to. Playground equipment was downright dangerous. The bathrooms were disgusting. We are avid campers and know we are camping, not expecting the Four Seasons by any means, but this place was just downright NASTY!

I would not call this place “family“ anything. First let me say the lady working the desk was VERY NICE and helpful. That being said, I have nothing positive to say about this place. It was dirty and unkept. Dumpsters were overflowing. People in the campground behind us did not stop there music and drunken conversation until roughly 3:00 am. I tried to call the office to complain but no answer and full mailbox. Pool and playground are not functional. The whole place smells like a toilet because of the “RV dumping area.” Stray cats roam the whole campground. I saw at least 5 different cats. It was however very cheap. Understand you get what you pay for and maybe something you did not pay for!

Booked reservations on January 10, 2020 for July vacation and received immediate confirmation back. We called the week prior to our visit to confirm everything was still set and was told yes and given the site number. We drove 6 hours to get there and when we arrived we were told that the campground had been shut down that day and noone could stay. They said they sent out emails and made phone calls but low and behold we never saw or heard anything from them. It was 7:30 pm at that time and we could find no availability on any other campgrounds. This was very poor customer service not to mention a hugh inconvenience to us. I feel the least they could have done was offered to put us up in a motel that night to allow us time to figure out what we were going to do now. No, we had to foot the $200 motel bill ourselves. The next morning we went to Myrtle Beach. Thanks but NO THANKS for nothing. My husband and I both were very upset with how this was handled. Don't trust them and for sure don't base your camping trip on them. If I could give negative stars, I would.

I've was there for the last 8 months. I'm gonna say this, there is not.... hands down a better place to come and stay long term or otherwise in this area. They get a lot of flack for the place not being very clean, but the owner and the office staff are the friendliest people. They are working hard to get it cleaned up, if you've ever been thinking about it and decided not to because of the reviews saying its dirty, I'm telling you to just go see for yourself. I will definitely be back and I have nothing bad to say about them at all.

I’ve camped at a lot of places...some amazing and some not so amazing. This is without a doubt the most disgusting “campground” I’ve ever seen.nnSeveral permanent residents, clearly nonexistent maintenance staff, disgusting buildings and open alcoholic beverages thrown everywhere, vomit literally all over the place likely from the drunk co-campers the night before.nnI took one good look at this place and turned around and left. The only attractive or remotely acceptable part of this establishment is the sign out front.
