Will have wife and 2 kids (10 and 4) and planning on spending a couple weeks. Would love any recommendations folks on here might have.
Thanks in advance and Happy Turkey Day!2021 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD SRV 6.6 Gas

Might help if you're a little more specific what you're looking for. The Carolinas covers a good amount of area. With that said, when we lived in SC, we would frequently camp at the state parks, most of them have good size sites where you arent on top of your neighbors, and there are water and electric hookups, most also have a dump station. We also enjoyed going to the Smokey Mountain area every summer, we would usually goto River Valley RV park, it's right on the Raving Fork river where you can swim or go tubing.

That's a lot of ground to cover. Costal, Piedmont (inbetween), or Mountains?
Costal: definitely Charleston area, Mytrle Beach (can be crowded), Wilmington, NC and Outbanks NC.
Mountains: Anywhere along the Blue Ridge Parkway, so that's NC Boone to Grandfather Mountain to Asheville, down into Lake Jocasse - Devil's Gorge area of SC.
Piedmont area: Raleigh-Durham, Charlotte NC area, Greenville-Spartainburg SC areas, and there are some great lakes all over the place, my favorite in/around the SC-GA border around Clemson, that's Lake Hartwell area in general, but it goes by different names in different areas.Colin & Tracy

I’m more familiar with NC. Starting in the Mountains, Asheville is a great area. Linville Falls a little quieter and more rural but we like the area. The Biltmore is worth a day.
The coast is busy during the summer. We stayed at Carolina Beach State Park. In spite of the name, it doesn’t have a beach, but there are plenty nearby. Limited hookups, but a nice place.John & Kathy

Apologies, yeah it's a lot of ground but we aren't really wed to one geographical theme. We're not looking for any specific urban experiences, likely just beach and mountains. I'm most interested in RV campgrounds you might recommend. Thanks!

My first thought when you said kids were involved was Charlotte, NC Carowinds water park and theme rides. they have a campground so you can just take their shuttle.
kids might like the ferry ride to Fort Sumpter in Charleston and maybe the history behind the site (maybe the 10 yer-old).
Ashville, Biltmore, don't seem kid-friendly to me.
Gem mining/washing in the Franklin, NC area.
A few nice (big) campgrounds at Myrtle Beach, most within walking distance and some even have their own beaches. I forget the names of the campgrounds but they all seemed similar along the beach as I recall. And there is shopping for mom as well as other kid related activities (mimi-gold, go carts & such).Larry KE4DMG

30 minutes from Asheville is campground called Campfire Lodging. The premium sites have a fantastic view, including a view of the French Broad River. There is another nice campground in the area, Mama Gertie's; again, fantastic views from the premium sites.
On the beach side of things, near Emerald Isle is a national forest campground, Cedar Point. no beach views, but very spacious sites. About 10 minute drive to Emerald Isle pubic access and parking. Sites are electric only; but are 50amp. Prices are reasonable.
Not sure what you're looking for. To be clear, non of the above have much in the way of amenities; if you're looking for KOA types of jumping pits and pools; these are not the ones.Last edited by Keebler; 11-24-2021 at 10:52 AM.
