Spring time at the beach is approaching! We've got all the things you need for a calming time close to the beach & downtown, as well as the ambiance of your own fire pit for those cool evenings. Our camper is a vintage 1973 Holiday Vacationer (very fitting, huh?), & provides comfort, sustainable luxury, & a great photo-op! Located 15 mins. from Wrightsville Beach, 13 mins. from downtown, & just behind a 1.3 mile walking/cycling trail, & playground for kids.


The Holiday Homestead is designed to provide a unique hideaway while also taking care of the environment. We offer an indoor shower & outdoor shower, modest kitchenette, a well designed odor complimentary composting toilet, mini refrigerator, queen bed, and futon couch bed. There is an AC unit for the summer, as well as a exceptional space heater for the fall/winter months. We provide you with shampoos/conditioners/soaps that are all biodegradable, and a fantastic guidebook with how to use everything in the glamper.


There's a garden in the yard from which there might be fun fruits/veggies you can pick from to eat, and simple access to Smith Creek Park and just mins. to the beach. Feel complimentary to borrow our kayak at the park (just let us know so we can get you all set up with it). There is also a fire pit for those nice fall or springtime evenings.

This is a great little space to rest your head after an extraordinary concert in downtown Wilmington, or a long day at the beach! If you are interested in a later check out, or earlier check in please reach out to ask, it really just all depends on if we have more guests coming in right after you etc. Feel complimentary to message us and we'd be happy to let you know.

When you arrive there will be a guestbook and a guidebook waiting on your bed. Feel complimentary to sign the guestbook, and use the guidebook to understand all the nitty gritty of the camper and all the fun Wilmington spots.

We also have an additional outdoor office space that has a pull down Murphy bed that could be available to rent for an additional fee, just message us and we’d be happy to add that on so you can have more people stay with you.

For longer monthly stays we will supply you with your start of coffee and toilet paper but once you run out you are expected to provide your own. Also during monthly stays we will be coming in weekly at least to empty out the composting toilet or as needed. Thank you!
