We have been coming to this campground for about 30 years, in tents and RVs and ways looked forward to our next visit. We stayed in a trailer and used the available facilities, a cold showers and restrooms, as needed. Due to advanced age, this was our last camping trip here. We have never had a bad camping trip here. We have always enjoyed being able to drive on the beach, with a beach entrance right at the entrance to Frisco Campground. There are also two boardwalks over to the beach. The scenery we enjoyed even after seeing it so many times. The campground may not have sewer, water or electric at the camp sites, but the space between the camping sites, the scenery, and the location, make for a very enjoyable visit.

The Pro's: 1) FEW MOSQUITOES! 👏👏👏Usually the Campground is swamped with them. 2) Great Weather 3) Half-full, no waits in RR/Showers 4) Folks in other sites were generally very friendly
Con's: 1) NPS Personnel were scarce; it's becoming "self-serve". I miss having a Host to connect with. Also less safe with Authority. 2) Super long walk to beach from site through dunes (about 300-400 yards) made carrying beach gear onerous.

P27 is a nice camp spot. You do get morning and evning sun but over all it was realatively flat and could easily fit two tents. It was close to the bath houses and restrooms. Both bath houses and restrooms were clean and well maintained. Be advised the showers are not heated but for us the air temperature was 85* so the none heated showers were not that bad, We had NO cell phone coverage at all on our site. We either had to walk to the top of the campground or the beach for coverage.

No shade trees - so exposed and so hot in June. The only sites I saw with trees were for RVs. On the plus side, it was blissfully quiet at night and we fell asleep listening to the waves and the cicadas. I’d definitely come back in the spring or the fall.

Frisco Campground Pros: It is a quieter campground than Oregon Inlet, and some spaces are quite nice and have privacy. Mile Marker 49 is within the camp, and the beaches are easily accessible and not too crowded. The campground is near the Ocracoke Ferry.
Frisco Campground cons: My spot, P20, was not that great and could use some maintenance. Paths to the beach are further than Oregon Inlet, but they are nice. Overall, it's not too bad for $28/night.

Site: Shhhh don’t tell - this is the best site at the campground. All shaded - completely enclosed by trees so you feel very isolated. 5 min walk to boardwalk path, additional 10 mins and you’re on the beach. Close to the showers and bathrooms.
Campground: clean bathrooms, love the refreshing cold showers. Only bummer (reason star docked) is the cool water dispensers were broken on the A and B loops.
