Great, private campsites with nice boardwalk to beach. Cold-water showers not inticing after Thanksgiving. Very private and quiet in a pristine natural area.

We had a really nice time at this campsite. You can hear the ocean and crickets at night. We went in late November and there weren't many mosquitoes at all. There were some ticks though, but that's to be expected. We were really happy to have showers, even though the water is cold, so be prepared for that as well!
This campground is in a great location, a quick walk up to the beach, and quick driving distance into Buxton, and to the ferry for Ocracoke.

Site P-005 was nice/private. Windy overnight. Bring bug spray. The burrs were everywhere and were sharp! Check shoes for them before entering tent.

We actually wound up just using this place to park our trailer while we visited friends who live close by. It is a very nice campground, and we would have liked to stay here if we didn’t have local friends. This time of year most of the sites are empty, so we waited until the last minute to make a reservation. There is nobody at the check in station, and it is reservations only. The loop roads are narrow, and so are the site pads, but everything is paved. Most sites are tricky to get backed into, especially the ones on your blind side, so pick carefully. There is no water, electric, or dump station, so come prepared. And there are stickers everywhere. Our site was A001, and it was impossible to step off of the pavement without getting into them. Ouch! Booties for your dog are highly recommended.

Special location but not much else. Would have stayed longer if it had electric sites

Beautiful campground kept clean. Quiet. We appreciated the shrubby vegetation -- for privacy and protection. Stunning beach.

We stayed in a 27 foot camper trailer for 14 nights and appreciated the clean setting, proximity to the beach and well-maintained facilities. Sites are nice and offer some privacy, but be aware that most are quite small. Some generator noise throughout the day as there are very few sites with electrical hookup. Also be prepared for managing your tanks as the associated dump station is 15 min away close to Cape Point Campground. A paying dump station is available at Frisco Woods Campgrounds 5 min away. Restrooms and shower are very clean but there is no hot water. If you like nature, quiet setting and are prepared to be semi-off grid, then you'll appreciate this great location.

Quiet, shaded, nice boardwalk to the beach. Campsites very private and mostly level. Was hoping for warm water in the showers, but no luck. John was a very pleasant campground host.
