A modern family park on the Wilmington coast.
Built in 2026. Opens early 2027. Ten minutes from Wrightsville Beach, the Battleship, and the Riverwalk — with 65 sites designed for the rigs people actually drive in 2026.
Built today for the way families travel now.
We started from a blank field, which means every decision — site width, pickleball over shuffleboard, splash pad next to the pool — was made for the family the chains forgot.
Bigger sites, not narrower ones
100-foot pull-throughs, generous spacing between rigs, 50-amp service on every site. Built for fifth wheels, toy haulers, and the big-rig owners the older parks can't fit. [CONFIRM WITH DOUG — site spacing specifics]
10 minutes from the Wilmington you came to see
The beaches are about 25 minutes south. Downtown Wilmington is 20. The Battleship is 22. Whatever brought your family to the Cape Fear coast, we're the basecamp that puts it within a single tank of gas.
A real calendar, not "fun for the whole family"
Themed weekends, weekly food truck nights, Azalea Festival package, July 4 on the Battleship. Programming you can plan a trip around. Activities your kids will remember.
One park, every Wilmington trip.
From Sidbury Road in northern New Hanover County, you're closer to Wrightsville Beach than the downtown hotels — and closer to the Riverwalk than the Wrightsville rentals.
