Freeman Park, Carolina Beach

Great to bring dogs to when not many places allow them in the summer. It is never very busy in my experience, and you can drive onto the beach if you have 4 wheel drive. Otherwise you need to park in the lots just before the beach access. Beautiful area!

Right when we arrived we had an issue. Zone 2-5 were closed, and they only had a few camping spaces in zone 1 left. I pre ordered my tickets for zone 5. So, I was given a number I had to call and get a new reservation made. I had to purchase another reservation, and am waiting on a refund from the previous reservation. Absolutely any car without 4x4 will NOT make it on the beach. Also, there was a dirty condom at our campsite, and found large chunks of broken glass. While they do not allow glass at this campground, just be aware while walking. The main thing that was bothersome is the fact that people were going in and out of the campgrounds way past 10pm and into early morning. Bear in mind, you camp right by the road. It was an interesting experience!
