Setting a date of August 9-11th for a beach camping trip at Freeman Park "The North End" at Carolina Beach, NC. This is a trip that Tim and I have done for a couple years now and it's an absolute blast. Drive the Jeeps on the beach, park for the weekend, set up camp, and enjoy the beach as it is meant to be. Sand, sun, water, and oh yeah, sightseeing. Adult beverages are allowed in cans and in a responsible manner. The boys in blue are there and are very good at what they do. PWCs are allowed on the north end of the beach on the inlet and allowed in the surf at the mouth of the inlet.
There are some hotels nearby if camping isn't your thing but want to come for the weekend and want to drive on the beach and hang out for the day. This may be a good option for families with young children as the parties around the beach can go on for quite a long time (Team Techno) and camping is a bit of a strain if its really hot. Some cool family stuff in the area too like Fort Fisher, the USS North Carolina, and an aquarium.
The beach access is $20/day or $50/3 days, or a season pass is $100 (good for the calendar year). Temporary fishing permits are available in town.
Some good things to bring:
-A 4wd vehicle. If not usually someone is willing to pick you up at public parking, just give plenty of heads-up so we can plan ahead. I do not suggest coming on the beach in 2wd. Yes I have done it but no I do not suggest it.
-A good cooler or two and plenty of ice.
-Sunscreen. Plus an extra bottle for Tim the lobster.
-Easy up canopy.
-Tent and sleeping apparatus of your choosing.
-Beach games i.e. bocce ball, cornhole, whatever your preferred do nothing game is.
-Water. Lots of it.
-Firewood. People always like big fires and it attracts good looking neighbors (ok sometimes not so good looking).
-Single women.
The more people that come the more fun stuff we can plan/bring/do.
