It is the second week of March. The area is getting cleaned up for spring break and the summer season. Right now the campground is less than 10% full. That makes for a very relaxing week on a lovely...

Tip for Other Campers:

Fort Fisher is a very cool civil war historic site. Beaches are great. Major shopping is only 10-15 minutes away.

Tips from campers about Blakeslee Air Force Recreation Center

  • Kellie Dunham We loaded up our bikes and parked at the State Park to ride the bike path.
  • ken&pattistravels If you manage to tire of being at the beach, there is so much to do within the area. We took ballroom dancing at Luna Ballroom, Eric (a five time world champion) and Patricia are wonderful people and amazing instructors. A bit farther away is Eden Gardens State Park, offering a nice escape into Camellia lined paths and easy hiking trails. For those desiring a more physical activity, there is pay-for Pickleball courts offered at the property next door, or free access to a court, which is about a mile away, at Legion Park. If you are like me and push activities beyond what my back is willing to tolerate, Payne Chiropractic is waiting to offer affordable and highly skilled adjustment and massage services. Within this storefront complex you find an outstanding coffee roaster, Maas Coffee Roasters of Destin. Finally, if you would like to learn how to make those sandcastles that make the news, connect with "Dan In The Sand", at dancastles.com and schedule a session where he takes you, and the family, through a sand castle building lesson. For those who want to eat where the locals go, Bud & Alley's waterfront restaurant is where they go for breakfast and lunch.
  • Bruno Flauto Close to all shops very well located

Tip for Other Campers:

Walks on the beach, Carolina Beach State Park and the Aquarium are all available and nice places to visit. We had a delicious brunch at Tropical Cafe. Met friends at Brunches, Carolina Beach a few days later. Service and food at both places were outstanding!

Tip for Other Campers:

Wilmington has all the shopping you need and is about a 30 minute drive. The Fat Pelican in Carolina Beach is a must visit for a beer.
