Tommy and Wanda Bradsher opened the Shallotte Brunswick Beaches Camp Resort on March 1, 2003. Tommy and Wanda, who have always been self-employed, were beginning to plan their retirements when Tommy visited a campground in Florida. The owner, a fellow Shriner, testified to the happiness he had found in operating a campground upon retiring. So sincere was the gentleman's testimony that Tommy began to entertain the idea of opening his own campground. With 5 children and 7 grandchildren, the couple had family in mind when the plans began for the campground. Their goal was to create an affordable vacation option for families who want to come to the beach. With the perfect location just 5 miles from the beach, construction began.
Today, with a new total of 10 grandchildren, the Shallotte Brunswick Beaches Camp Resort is beginning their 10th season.
