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

We had a great 4 days. Weather little warm during the day but nights were great. Our site was good and dry. The bathrooms were very clean. The chilly showers offset the hot days. As long as it was breezy no biting bugs.

We were early in the season so the campground wasn't crowded at all. The beautiful and pristine beach is a bit of a walk but not strenuous. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained. The showers are cold water only.

Beautiful location. Well maintained camp sites. Less than half a mile drive to the beach. The deer in the evenings is the icing on the cake.

Another great stay. Weather was perfect but visitors should be aware that summer months can be very hot (no shade) and biting insects can be a problem due to close proximity to wet, marshy areas. Main purpose of trip was to visit the beach and very close proximity to 4-wheel drive on ramps facilitated this nicely. Be sure to air down.
