This was my second time staying at Frisco and it really is one of the best places to stay while in the OBX. It is further south but if your plan is to enjoy a mixture of water/wind sports and relaxation, then this is your campground. The bathrooms and showers are maintained well. Friday night stories of the island and starry skies are a huge plus. Loved having lots of nature running around (please remember to leave them alone)! The best beaches all nearby.

Doors on the showers were broken and did not latch. No hot water, only cold. The people behind me brought their own hot water.

This would be a five star location if you are staying outside of peak summer months. The sleeping pad location is nestled in a beautiful tree canopy providing much needed shade and privacy from your neighbors. Given that we were staying on a 85+ degree night, we found the camping area too protected and we weren’t able to receive any of the ocean breeze making the area static at night. We slept on the parking pad to ensure we had enough airflow to sleep. There is a beautiful view from the picnic table and it’s not too far from multiple well maintained bathrooms.

A beautiful campground with easy access to the beach. Due to the topography, few of the sites are level once you are off the paved pad. This is difficult for tent campers and the campground appears to be populated more by RVs or van campers. The cold water is not freezing cold, however, the lack of lights in the showers is a big issue for those who want to shower off after dark after a full day of beach activities. My site was really infested with ticks and good bug spray is a must, no matter what time of day. Also, the rain washed the sand at my site towards the paved pad, leaving my tent surrounded by trash (bottle caps, cigarette butts, etc.) that had been hidden by the sand. I would stay at Frisco again, but I would be more likely to come in a camper as I didn't feel the place was especially friendly to tent campers.
