On the ground, the Wilmington mix skews toward RV sites (2 spots), with primitive sites and container cabins filling out the rest. That's worth knowing before you search: the format shapes the trip more than the town does — a dome is a stargazing stay, a cabin is a basecamp, an RV site is a road-trip anchor. Pick the format first, then the property.

Set in the South, Wilmington works as a base for smokies backpacking, blue ridge parkway camping, and obx wild-horse beach camping. Plan around the season: April–early November. North Carolina's national park, Great Smoky Mountains, make good day-trip anchors from here. Below you can filter by stay type or jump to a specific format — every listing links straight to the operator's own site, never a middleman, so the prices and dates you see are the real ones.
