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

The Park Police need not be on the dunes watching people drink and then stop them giving them DUIs, when no one is cutting up or acting stupid

The cabins are very nice and clean. All the utensils you would need included. Trails are fun and easy to walk. My favorite part was just walking on the beach. One morning we saw dolphins. Can’t wait to go back during the summer so we can go to some of the seafood markets near by.

Visited in November and the place was a mess. Only one bathroom was open and all showers were turned off or broken. No staff on-site that we saw...makes me wonder what we spent our camping fee on. Wouldn't recommend visiting this campsite and we won't be returning.

Peaceful place in the middle of nature. We enjoyed our stay very much. Beginning of december, we where almost by outselves, together with the deers roaming the camp.

Great location, within biking (and walking) distance from the town and beach. Not too buggy on the particular day we went!

A great place to be, we are frequent guests since 2005. However, the renovation of the showers and bathrooms are making extremely sloooow progress.

The bathroom lights are below their hoods and shine bright light all over the place. One cannot see the stars with the light pollution. Appears that in the renovation some forgot to recess the fixtures. Easy solution to extend the facet with 2X2 or tack on flashing piece to arrest the polluting light.

Amazing facility in an amazing location where you can go star gazing. Next to cape hatteras and the national seashore. Great amenities. I wish there was a place to go and take refuge when extreme weather (flood,hurricane, pouring rain), but no complaints otherwise.
