Ocean Isle & Sunset Beach RV Guide
The Two Campgrounds
Waterway Campground, at 4641 Devane Rd SW in Shallotte, sits directly on the Intracoastal Waterway between Ocean Isle Beach and Shallotte, 47 RV-only sites with full hookups (30-amp electric, water, sewer), pet-friendly, and well-suited for fishing and kayaking right from the campground. Brunswick Beaches Camping Resort, at 7200 KOA Drive SW in Sunset Beach, offers a swimming pool, a stocked fishing pond, a camp kitchen, a camp store, and primitive cabins alongside RV and tent sites, open year-round, near Ocean Isle Beach and the Sunset Beach Pier.
Nearby Attractions, and Falling for the Brunswick Islands
Bird Island, a short walk from the Sunset Beach Pier, is home to the Kindred Spirit Mailbox where visitors leave letters tucked into the dunes. The Shallotte River Swamp Park near Waterway Campground offers zip lines and swamp tours, and Calabash is just minutes from both campgrounds for seafood. Ocean Isle Beach and Sunset Beach are two coastal markets in North Carolina worth a close look. If a stay here has you dreaming about owning property near the water, get in touch.
