Canter Lakes Farm offers waterfront camping on 47 acres. We are a private horse farm with beautiful swimming lakes and river access on site via “Sand Hill Creek” At canter lakes farm you can explore over 10 acres of water without ever leaving our property, and hike almost 3 miles of manicured trails here! If you’re an early riser you can witness the magnificent steam rolling in over the lakes, creek and cypress swamp while you sip your coffee at sunrise. Bring your paddle boards and cruise, or warm up with sunny yoga on your private dock. Kayak or John boats can explore the river bends from our property, or even make it out to the big wide cape fear. We are very close to two public boat ramps suitable for larger boats and jet skis. Holly Shelter boat ramp is literally 2 minutes away, Shelter Creek boat ramp is 10 minutes away. Both ramps have a fishing area and allow kayaks/paddle boards. Fishing is good on our ponds and the river year round, (bass, catfish, crappie, bowfin, gar, etc) in June hundreds of wild blueberry plants you can pick and eat. We also have prickly pear cacti for harvesting which you can cook the fruit and paddles over the fire and enjoy. If our trails aren’t enough and you want more adventure, just two miles away is the Holly Shelter game lands entrance where you’ll find thousands of acres for hunting, biking, hiking or horseback riding. And if you’re craving a beach day, Wrightsville beach is just a 30 minute drive away as well as is downtown Wilmington where you can enjoy walking the riverfront for shopping or dining.

Live Oak - Riverfront

100% (23)

RV/tent site · Sleeps 12 · Vehicles under 25 ft

If you want a beautiful camp site away from it all, this one is for you! Secluded at the back of our 47 acres, right along the creek/river and under the photogenic live oak canopy. This site has a flat sandy area under a large live oak for pitching a tent, but feel free to place your tent, camper or small rv anywhere you’d like in this general area (just let us know where you end up!). The site is just feet from our “Sand Hill Creek” access, which is a tributary of the massive northeast Cape Fear River. Launch you small jon boats, kayaks, canoes or paddle boards right next to your camp site!! We do have a 1 paddle board and a few sit on top kayaks with life jackets and paddles available first come first to campers! Please message us about them if you would like to use them! Recommended use would be for fun the lakes, where as a "sit in" kayak would be preferred for the river. One thing to keep in mind is this camp site is almost a half mile from our bath house, so you’ll have to drive back and forth to shower, use the bathroom, get fresh water for drinking etc. feel free to bring bikes as they do ok in most of our driveway surfaces.
