About Cape Point Campground

Cape Point Campground sites have a shortened reservation window. Due to the ground saturation and potential for flooding we encourage you to check the sites prior to paying. Cape Point Campground is centrally located to all of the attractions on Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The campground puts you within walking distance of arguably the best fishing and surfing on the east coast.

Number of accommodations: 200

Great campground, lots of grass and little sand which makes it easy and comfortable for lounging, sleeping, and putting up tents. No cactus to be seen. Easy to find a spot to camp and easy access to bathrooms. Lots of open spaces. Really enjoyed laying in the tent and watching the lighthouse at night.

The star of this experience is Cape Hatteras itself. When we went, it was not too crowded as the weather was stormy just off the coast. However, the beach was extensive and scenic. The campground is not the star, as facilities seem either broken or not working, such as half of the showers. If the campground does get busy, I doubt the facilities can handle the load for all sites. The campground is only a few miles from town so it's easy to get supplies and a fresh meal.

We knew that there wasn't electric or water hookup, but I really wish we would have had it. The campground was nice and not many campers at all.

Great campground! Family-friendly, convenient bathrooms and shower houses (shower houses are rope-pull mechanisms, in case you're wondering), extremely well maintained, easy check-in system, super close to the beach... AND Orange Blossom for my morning apple uglies is a short, short drive away! Love it!

Campground was amazing. I think we just went at the wrong time of year for bugs. LOL. It was a bug apocalypse after sunset. Opened the RV door for 10 seconds to bring something inside and had no less than 500 bugs of some kind fly in. Could hardly go outside without inhaling them by the dozen. Never seen anything like it. Beach was great though and close to the campground! Amazing shells on the beach.

Even though the campground has no hook-ups, the sites are very large. The campground has many sites to choose from. We were there in early October and there was hardly anyone there. It was quite a distance to the beach - about 1/2 mile. We really enjoyed ourselves there and would not hesitate to go back there.
