I love this campground, but I wish there was a bit of beach with no truck access. The bathrooms were really clean and the night sky program was great! We had a wonderful time!!

The campground was beautifully laid out with paved roads and paved RV parking. The restrooms were clean but with the constant open door there was always a lot of mosquitos in the restroom. The campsites were well spaced from each other offering decent privacy and greenery. The beach was absolutely beautiful. It is very wide and has very soft sand (no hard shells to walk on). Vehicles could get a permit and drive on the beach as well. Such a beautiful place. We will be sure and return. Although there is no RV dump within this campsite, there is one not very far away (see Ranger station for directions).

Recommend the Tavern on 12 for lunch or dinner. Located right before the turn in to the campground on the right.

Really enjoyed the trees and vegiatation coverage so our campsite was not totally out in the sun. It was quiet and so close to the beach.

We love this campground! It is a long walk to the beach though. So we went down to the beach near the old lighthouse site at Hatteras, just a short walk from the parking lot!

Cozy campsites with some shade in some, so select carefully. Easy walk to the beach with warm beautiful water and nice sandy beach.

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!
