RV Parks In Warsaw, North Carolina

34.9993° N, 78.0911° W

Quick Overview

Warsaw sits right on I-40 in Duplin County, which makes it one of the easier eastern North Carolina towns to roll into with a rig. We like it as a base because you can pick your style of camping without a long drive. Want to stay in town and keep it simple? The 24/40 RV Park & Campground is right off I-40 exit 364 at NC-24, with 30 and 50 amp pull-through sites. Want full hookups and some scenery? Drive about 35 miles north to Cliffs of the Neuse State Park near Seven Springs. Want a quiet county lake in between? Cabin Lake County Park up in Pink Hill has electric RV sites on 194 acres of woods and water.

That mix of private, county, and state options is what makes Warsaw worth a stop. The 24/40 park (also listed as Cipher Green RV Park) is the only full-service RV park in town itself, and it is genuinely big-rig friendly since you can get in and out without fighting downtown streets. Cliffs of the Neuse is the better value if you want water, electric, and sewer at one site, and it comes with a swim lake and trails. Cabin Lake is the budget-minded, laid-back pick at $35 a night for an electric site.

Warsaw is muscadine wine country too. Duplin Winery in Rose Hill is the largest winery in the South, and the historic Country Squire sits just up the road toward Kenansville. You are also within an easy drive of Goldsboro (about 30 miles north) and Wilmington (roughly 60 miles southeast) if you want beaches or a bigger town. For planning info on the state park, the official NC State Parks camping page for Cliffs of the Neuse lists site details and the reservation window. Need to empty your tanks?

Traveling to Warsaw by RV

Getting to Warsaw is about as painless as eastern NC travel gets. I-40 runs right past town, so most rigs coming from Raleigh, Wilmington, or the coast just take an exit and they are there. Exit 364 puts you at NC-24 and NC-50 on the west side of town, which is the closest exit to the 24/40 RV Park. Exit 369 drops you onto US-117 just south of Warsaw. Both are four-lane and easy to navigate with a long trailer or a big motorhome.

Once you are off the interstate, keep long rigs on the bypass routes. NC-24 Business and the older downtown streets get tight and are not fun to thread with a fifth wheel. US-117 heads north toward Goldsboro (about 30 miles) and south toward Wallace and Wilmington. If you are running low on fuel, the Exxon at 107 Kenansville Hwy is open 24 hours with a C-store and air pump, and there is truck fuel along the I-40 corridor at exits 364 and 373 near Wallace. We would not count on Warsaw for RV repair. Clinton, about 15 miles west, and Goldsboro to the north have your nearest real service and parts options.

Before You Go: RV Trip Essentials

Dump stations are only one piece of the trip puzzle. Before you set out for your trip to Warsaw, North Carolina, it's worth taking thirty minutes to check that the basics are in place — the four areas below are where unprepared RVers most often get stung.

Check your RV insurance coverage

A standard auto policy rarely covers a Class A, Class C, or travel trailer the way a dedicated RV insurance policy does. If you're financing a motorhome, lenders typically require comprehensive and collision; full-timers should additionally price in vacation liability and personal belongings coverage. Rates vary widely by state and travel pattern — compare quotes from multiple RV-focused carriers before each season.

Know your roadside assistance options

RV-specific roadside plans tow motorhomes and trailers that regular AAA coverage won't touch — flat beds, mobile mechanics, tire service for duallies, and even emergency lockouts at remote campgrounds. Good plans cover your spouse and trailer even if you're driving a separate vehicle, and some include trip interruption reimbursement if a breakdown costs you a reservation.

Decide about an extended warranty early

Original manufacturer warranties on new RVs typically run 12–24 months — shorter than most buyers realize. An extended service contract (essentially a mechanical breakdown policy) covers the appliances, slides, levelling systems, and drivetrain components that can run $3,000–$10,000 to replace. The time to price one is before the factory coverage expires, not after something breaks.

Set up a travel rewards card for fuel and fees

A no-annual-fee travel or gas rewards card pays for itself on a single month of RV travel. Expect to spend $400–$800 per week combined on fuel, campgrounds, and propane — 3–5% cash back on gas alone covers the next oil change. For bigger trips, a sign-up bonus can offset campground fees for the whole season.

Dump Station Costs in Warsaw

Warsaw is friendly on the wallet compared with the coast. Cabin Lake County Park is the budget pick at $35 a night for an electric RV site, with a discount to $32 for military and seniors 62 and up. That gets you power, shared water, a swim lake, and trails, which is a lot of park for the money. Cliffs of the Neuse State Park sits in the typical NC state-park range for its full-hookup sites, usually in the low-to-mid $30s per night plus the reservation fee, and standard non-hookup sites run cheaper. The 24/40 RV Park in town prices as a private park, so expect it to run a bit higher than the public options, especially for the luxury pull-through and 50 amp sites; call ahead for current nightly and weekly rates since they run specials. Across the board you are looking at a good value here, well under what you would pay at a Wilmington beach resort, and the state park is the better deal if you can plan ahead and grab a hookup site.

One of the best times to visit before the summer humidity builds. Mild days, cool nights, and green landscapes along the trails and lakes.

☀️

Summer

Jun - Aug

Hot and humid with afternoon thunderstorms. Swim lakes at Cliffs of the Neuse and Cabin Lake are the draw, and full-hookup sites book up on weekends.

Explore the Warsaw Area

A few things we have learned about camping around Warsaw. First, if you just need a clean overnight with power on your way down I-40, the 24/40 RV Park at exit 364 is the no-fuss choice, and you never have to touch downtown. If you want to actually settle in for a few nights, book Cliffs of the Neuse State Park instead. Its full-hookup sites are limited to 12, and they fill up on summer weekends, so reserve on ReserveAmerica up to six months out.

Second, do your big shopping before you set up. Warsaw itself runs to smaller markets and dollar stores, so we stock groceries and top off propane in Clinton or Goldsboro on the way in. Superior Plus in Kenansville handles propane in the immediate area. Third, plan a fall visit if you can. September brings the NC Muscadine Festival, and a tour of Duplin Winery in Rose Hill pairs perfectly with a state-park stay. Last, watch the tropical forecast from August into October. The Neuse River corridor floods after big storms, and you do not want to be parked low when one rolls through.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dump Stations in Warsaw

What RV parks and campgrounds are near Warsaw, NC?

You have three solid options around Warsaw covering private, county, and state camping. The 24/40 RV Park and Campground, also listed as Cipher Green RV Park, sits right off I-40 exit 364 in town with 30 and 50 amp pull-through sites. Cabin Lake County Park in Pink Hill, about 28 miles north, offers 14 electric RV sites on a 194-acre lake property. Cliffs of the Neuse State Park near Seven Springs, about 35 miles north, has 12 full-hookup sites plus standard sites and cabins. That mix lets you match your rig and your budget without leaving the area.

Which Warsaw RV park is best for a big rig?

The 24/40 RV Park right off I-40 exit 364 is the easiest big-rig choice in Warsaw itself. It has 30 and 50 amp pull-through sites, so you never have to unhitch or back into a tight spot, and you can get in and out without driving through downtown Warsaw where the older streets get narrow. If you want full hookups for a longer stay in a bigger rig, Cliffs of the Neuse State Park works too, but its full-hookup count is limited to 12 sites. For pure convenience with a 40-foot motorhome or a long fifth wheel, the in-town park wins.

Does Cliffs of the Neuse State Park have full hookups?

Yes. Cliffs of the Neuse State Park near Seven Springs has 12 sites with full RV hookups, meaning water, electric, and sewer at the site. It also has 18 standard campsites without hookups and three camper cabins on sites 7, 9, and 11. The campground includes a bathhouse with hot showers, potable water spigots, and a dump station located between sites 19 and 21 for campers who are on non-sewer sites. Because only 12 sites carry full hookups, they book up fast on summer weekends, so reserve early through ReserveAmerica to lock one in.

How do I make reservations for these campgrounds?

It depends on the park. Cliffs of the Neuse State Park uses ReserveAmerica, and you can book up to six months in advance with a minimum of one day ahead of arrival, which we recommend for the full-hookup sites since they go quickly. Cabin Lake County Park in Pink Hill is run by Duplin County, and you book it by phone through the county parks office. The 24/40 RV Park in Warsaw takes reservations by phone or through its website and is open year round. For any summer weekend or festival weekend, book ahead rather than showing up and hoping for a spot.

How much does it cost to camp near Warsaw?

Camping around Warsaw is a good value. Cabin Lake County Park charges $35 a night for an electric RV site, dropping to $32 for military and seniors 62 and older. Cliffs of the Neuse State Park runs in the typical NC state-park range, usually low-to-mid $30s per night for a full-hookup site plus a small reservation fee, with non-hookup sites cheaper. The 24/40 RV Park is a private park and prices a bit higher, especially for luxury and 50 amp pull-through sites, so call for current nightly and weekly rates. Overall you will pay well under coastal-resort prices here.

Is there a dump station in the Warsaw area?

Yes. Cliffs of the Neuse State Park provides a dump station between campsites 19 and 21 for registered campers, which covers you if you are on a standard non-sewer site. The full-hookup sites at Cliffs have sewer right at the site, and Cabin Lake and the 24/40 RV Park offer dump or sewer service to their guests as well. If you are just passing through and need to empty tanks without staying, check our dedicated guide to RV dump stations in Warsaw for the current list of nearby options and whether they are free or paid.

Can I park overnight for free near Warsaw?

Not really in a legal, comfortable way. North Carolina rest areas along I-40 allow you to stop and rest but post signs prohibiting extended overnight camping, so they are for a quick nap, not a full night of setup. A Warsaw-area Walmart or similar lot may allow a one-night stay, but that is always at the manager's discretion, so call ahead and confirm. Rural Duplin County is mostly private farmland, so there is no public boondocking here. For an actual overnight, we recommend one of the three area campgrounds, which are affordable and far more comfortable anyway.

What is the closest RV park to I-40?

The 24/40 RV Park and Campground is the closest to the interstate by a wide margin. It sits right at I-40 exit 364 where NC-24 and NC-50 meet, so you are off the highway and parked within a couple of minutes. That makes it the natural choice for a travel-day overnight when you are running the I-40 corridor between Raleigh, Wilmington, or the coast. The other two options, Cabin Lake County Park and Cliffs of the Neuse State Park, are both roughly 30 to 35 miles north of Warsaw, so they make more sense as destinations than as quick highway stops.

When is the best time of year to camp in Warsaw?

Spring and fall are the sweet spots. April and May bring mild days, cool nights, and lower humidity before the summer heat sets in, which makes for comfortable camping and easy hiking. Fall, from September into October, is our favorite because the weather is pleasant and it lines up with the muscadine harvest and the NC Muscadine Festival in September. Summer is hot and humid with afternoon thunderstorms, though the swim lakes at Cliffs of the Neuse and Cabin Lake help. Winter is quiet and cheap with easy availability if you do not mind cool nights and a little tank prep.

Are the campgrounds near Warsaw open year round?

Yes, all three main options stay open all year. The 24/40 RV Park in Warsaw is open year round and takes reservations any season. Cabin Lake County Park in Pink Hill is also open year round, though its swimming area only runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Cliffs of the Neuse State Park is open year round as well, with gate hours that shift by season, running shorter in winter and later into the evening from May through August. Winter camping is very doable at all three thanks to eastern North Carolina's mild climate, just plan for the occasional overnight frost.

What is there to do around Warsaw besides camping?

Plenty, especially if you like wine and history. Warsaw sits in muscadine wine country, so Duplin Winery in nearby Rose Hill, the largest winery in the South, is an easy tour and tasting stop about 10 miles away. The historic Country Squire winery and restaurant sits between Warsaw and Kenansville and has been serving since 1961. In Kenansville you can tour Liberty Hall Plantation and the Cowan Museum of History and Science. For outdoor time, Cliffs of the Neuse State Park has river bluffs, a swim lake, and hiking trails. Goldsboro and Wilmington are both within a reasonable drive for bigger-town amenities and beaches.

Are there hookups at Cabin Lake County Park?

Yes, but electric only. Cabin Lake County Park in Pink Hill has 14 RV sites with electric hookups and shared water spigots between sites, plus about six non-electric tent sites. There is no sewer at the site, so you will use the dump facilities when you leave or plan your tank capacity accordingly. At $35 a night for an electric site, it is the budget-friendly pick in the area, and you get a 194-acre park with a swim lake, a 2.3-mile hiking trail, fishing, and paddle boat rentals. It is a relaxed, no-frills county park rather than a resort, which is exactly why we like it.

How far is Warsaw from Wilmington and the coast?

Warsaw is well positioned for a coastal side trip without paying beach-town camping prices. Wilmington sits roughly 60 miles southeast, about an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes by way of I-40 and US-117, which makes a day trip to the beach or the riverfront very doable from your campsite. Goldsboro is closer, about 30 miles north via US-117, if you want a bigger town for shopping, dining, or RV service. That central location is a big part of why we like basing in Warsaw. You get affordable inland camping with the coast, wineries, and state parks all within easy reach.

Do I need reservations or can I just show up?

For the state park, plan on reservations, especially for the 12 full-hookup sites at Cliffs of the Neuse, which fill on summer and festival weekends. Book through ReserveAmerica up to six months ahead. Cabin Lake County Park and the 24/40 RV Park are more relaxed on weekdays and in the off-season, and you can often get a site on shorter notice, but we still call ahead rather than gambling on a full lot. If your trip lands on a September muscadine festival weekend or a summer holiday, treat reservations as a must at every park in the area.
