Camped here with my family in spot A5. We chose it for the convenience,right near the entrance and directly across from the bathrooms and showers. Perfect for car camping, but not much room for a tent, so I’d pick a different spot if you’re tent camping.
The campground itself was super clean, and the bathrooms were way nicer than expected. Showers are cold though, so bringing a solar shower is a smart move.
The beach is very close, you can hear the waves at night and the stars are incredible thanks to low light pollution. Definitely plan for some downtime to just relax, enjoy the beach, catch the sunset, and take in the night sky. Saw some people windsurfing too, which was pretty cool.
Only downside: ticks… a lot of them. Lone star ticks everywhere. Stay out of the brush and bring strong bug spray.
Overall, great spot if you come prepared.

Perfect weather during my visit - shorts and a t-shirt were perfect for the duration. The stars at night are awe inspiring. I could hear the surf.
While the sound side of the island was windy drawing the kite boarders and windsurfers, the campground was not windy.
Clean bathrooms and no litter make for a nice campground.

Beautiful campground - set in the dunes on the outer banks. The surrounding area is quaint and supplies are plentiful. The bathroom clean and the sites small but cozy. There was a lot of shade for an ocean side camground and a lot of privacy. Would stay there again!

The campground hosts were very nice and helpful. Bathrooms clean. The site had some erosion to deal with. Unfortunately ticks are a thing to deal with, tick checks can solve that problem. Absolutely beautiful setting. Will come back for sure.

Short walk to the beach or you can by a permit and drive onto the beach. Restaurants are close by.

Accès to wild stretch of beach with only OSV fishers. Sites are protected from wind, some with nice views out to sea.

Our site (P01) was reasonably level and had some shade. We had good access to the beach and restrooms. Stickers were everywhere so keep your dogs in the sand as much as possible. T-Mobile cell service was abysmal - just barely usable if we were in the correct place in our RV.
