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

As described, this camp ground is pretty basic, but we loved it. We were in very close proximity to the lighthouse and the ramp for driving on the beach. It was beautiful and quiet. Just be prepared for an ongoing flash of light, because of the light house. Also, if you've never been to the iconic "Orange Blossom Cafe", the road entry is right down the road from it. Fantastic old school breakfast sandwiches and killer bakery.

Geese have left a good deal of excrement around the campground. This may change as weather and seasons change and the birds seek other conditions.
