Upon arrival to our site, we were clearing pine cones & sticks from our site to set up the tent. Looked down at our legs & we were covered in ticks - most with a white spot on them. Tried to find a ranger to see if we could change sites but couldn't find anyone. Left, went to another NPS campground & set up. Fortunately they were kind enough to give me a refund.

This is the only public campground on the OBX that has truly shady campsites. When booking, look for those because there are also many no-shade spots. Facilities are basic but clean. It would be nice to have a ranger or someone to who could answer general questions. Rangers drive through a couple of random times a day and they’re easy to miss!

Loved my night at Frisco Campground! Very quiet with very clean restrooms and easy access to the beach at Site P008. The live oaks and vegetation make this site quite private.

I camped here a LOT as a kid, & now I'm taking my kids. I can't recommend this campground enough. Compared to others, there's space, privacy, shade, & beach access. This will always be my go-to when I visit the OBX. Also, site P018 is an EXCELLENT site with plenty of the above.

Stayed one night. Nice clean campsite. Facilities well maintained. Wildlife (racoons,deer,and birds) very active in the camp during day and overnight hours. Bugs were noticeable but not overwhelming. Walk to beach is a little long. I only made the trip once. Son made it twice. Nice area for 4x4 beach, if you’ve got one..
Overall very happy with stay. I will visit again if the opportunity presents itself.

Campground was clean. Bathrooms clean. Showers only had cold water. Campsite was close to stores and restaurants but far enough off the main road to not hear any vehicles. Check-in was easy.
There was no phone service and no parking maps - make sure to have your reservation/map already saved on your phone or printed.

Great camp spot with plenty of shade. Short walk to boardwalk and bathrooms. Cold showers were fine. We were here for memorial day weekend and there were ticks and spiders, so bring your bug spray. We had a great time and are already making plans to come back!!
