Recreational vehicles are hot in 2021. In the form of traveltrailers, motor homes and fifth-wheels, Americans are rolling their way to campgrounds in the comfort of their personal roaming motels as never before. Motorized camping has become one of the most fun, flexible and affordable ways for families to vacation all over the United States, especially at our beautiful South Brunswick beaches. At Brunswick Beaches Camping Resort in Sunset Beach and Holden Beach RV Campground, tourists return like migrating geese — looking forward to their downtime year after year. And while summer is still the favorite season to visit, smart campers have caught on that autumn is also mega prime time. That’s when rates go down, the ocean temperatures remain balmy, the beaches aren’t crowded and the waits at local restaurants are no longer an issue. I caught
up with two families that have returned to these same campgrounds over the years, to find out just why they can’t get enough of them. The Sellers family of Whiteville hauls a 30-foot Sunnybrook fifth-wheel, which provides plenty of room for their family of five and Bizzy, their tiny Pomeranian. Barry, Brittany, Colin, Aubrey and Mason enjoyed Holden Beach RV Campground so much after camping there twice in 2020, Fall 2021
