Just a great place to relax. Some of the best tent sites you could hope for. Always a fav!

Pros, absolutely beautiful, gorgeous walk to the beach, incredible scenery
Cons, the campground is not toddler friendly. Our toddler fell on a cactus and got dozens of spines in his little hand. Our campsite had a tick infestation and we got five ticks on the three of us in one evening. We did not bring tweasers and learned our lesson! Definitely bring lots of DEET and dress for ticks!

We have a 36’ foot 5th wheel and stayed in site P18. Great spot, easy walk to the beautiful beach. If you are coming from the north plan to stop at the lighthouse to fill your fresh water as their are no fill/dump facilities at the camp ground.

Absolutely beautiful campsite! Great access to the beach and we loved hearing the ocean so close by! Would definitely recommend this campground to others and will most definitely be back!

Stayed 5/17-5/20 with my dog. Love this campground. Staff were friendly, the beach was not too crowded, bathroom and shower facilities were well kept. Grill was clean. The only issues were really related to my dog: the grass burrs and cactus were a huge problem with her feet. There were ticks ALL OVER HER and I was pulling them off of her all weekend. Be aware! Mosquitoes get very bad but weren’t when we were there because it was windy/rainy.
Review of Site P025:
Pros: Close to the boardwalk beach path; close but not too close (I consider a good thing) to bathroom/shower area; sizable, soft, and sandy tent site and some shade over path getting to it.
Cons: Traffic as a result of being right on the main road; grass burrs/stickers EVERYWHERE in grass around the asphalt and grill (My dog had a very rough time with that); no shade over seating area or tent area.
Overall I recommend this site I would just consider leaving your dog at home and bringing a shade tent for the picnic table area.

Nice campground but sites are very small. Not easy to get a big tent in many of them.

This is a great quiet place. The Rangers and staff have trimmed up some of the sites to make them more accessible. Most of the sites are small so not extremely big rig friendly. Be prepared for some windy days.
There is a great Indian heritage museum right across from the end of the entrance. Ace hardware, food lion and a dollar store within 20 minutes along with gas and market near the entrance and not to far a drive to the ferry to Ocracoke. Be sure to stop in at the old Hatteras weather station/tourist info center.
Potable water at the bath house , cold water only showers. No dump stations but you can dump at the Hatteras light campground.
