Been there, done that.

The Isle of Emerald is absolutely beautiful. But, Holiday Travel Park is WAY overpriced. You get a better deal, oceanfront, by booking a beach duplex/cottage. Gas is also overpriced on the island... go across the highrise, RV'ers and fill up there. Swansboro, GO-Gas is cheapest so far. $3.85 @ June 2nd, 2008. We have camped 20 or 30 times over the years at HTP. We were told this Spring, by cottage owners, Ronnie Watson, Owner of HTP has sold. Guess no one is beyond the developers. Just look what happened oceanfront, to pristine maritime forest across from Emerald plantation. Gone. The Crystal Coast is going way of Myrtle Beach.
