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

Been coming here most every fall since the late 60s. Frisco campground is more aesthetically beautiful but Cape point is my favorite spot. I like the wide open space and the fact you can get out at night and see from horizon to horizon the night sky. This particular trip the weather has been incredible I’m actually still in that same spot I just extendedPlanning to stay till 3 November.

Very clean and well kept. The well kept grass is a very welcome alternative to Orange inlet and the horrific sand spurs at Frisco. Bathrooms and showers were very nice. its a fairly protected spot though winds are always an issue with the grill's. Have stayed at all three and this would be my choice hands down. While it doesnt bother me, the only thing to consider is the lighthouse at night.
