What a perfect four days! I camped here with my son. We surf fished, took the ferry to Okracoke, went kayak fishing in the sound, played on the beach and cooked a lot at the campsite. For late August, we lucked out in terms of weather. It was cool a few evenings, and the days weren’t too hot. The trees on this campsite made it unique from other beach camps we have done. The wind was disrupted. I thought that the bugs might be bad, and was prepared with bug nets and permethrin but we were never really swarmed. The shower did not have hot water, but it was tolerable for this time of year. The campground was well maintained and clean. Great stay!

The campground is well maintained and the bathrooms and showers were clean. Bugs were ok during the day but got bad after dusk. A bug shelter is definitely a good idea but I managed without one. The walk to the beach was about 400 yards. There was a nice boardwalk for most of the walk and a short climb over the dune to the water. The beach is unguarded but used by many beach drivers. I highly recommend participating in many of the events offered by the NPS during the week. Search for the events calendar on the Cape Hatteras website and check out what is offered. I signed up for the kayak and surf fishing with a ranger event. Some events require reservations that need to be made the Saturday before you arrive so plan your events befor traveling. There are shops and restaurants nearby the campground. I also recommend the Graveyard of the Atlantic museum. I did get a nail in one tire and couldn’t find any repair shop nearby but was able to get the tire fixed at Dave’s auto in Salvo. Enjoy!

The water and access to the beaches are perfect at this campground. The water in August is unbelievable and there are so many beautiful seashells to be found!

The experience was great. The cold showers were welcome after all, as it was hot (summer). The campsite is quiet and well organized.
