The campsite in general was clean. There isn’t any hot water for the showers, no light in said showers and the mosquitos run rampant there. Which isn’t a big deal when you know ahead of time. The beaches nearby are quiet, and the lighthouses around are well maintained.

Love the location of this campground -- among the shrubs and with walkovers to the beach, and right by the drive-on road to beach. Close to Buxton and other Hatteras villages. Nice shade in most sites. Each morning would start with a 5 min drive to Frisco break, then lighthouse, then Avon, looking for waves to surf. Stopped in the Rod and Gun for ice daily, and the Conner's supermarket, too. Pamlico Deli was a favorite, and the Froggy Dog in Avon. Also visited Natural Art surf store -- the owner knew the guy who had shaped my husband's board, oh, about 30 years ago!

The experience at this campground was good. The toilets were generally clean but watch out for the frogs in the shower. The campsite was VERY buggy; so many mosquitoes!! Nothing seem to work, not citronella not bug spray. The campsites were in a great location to the beach. Highlight of the trip was the free ferry ride to Ocracoke island and the awesome beaches there. Would definitely go back despite the mosquitoes.

Bathrooms and showers were clean .
The beach could have been nicer but too many trucks.
Felt like Dayton Beach.
If that’s what you’re looking for go to Frisco.

Recreation.gov is literally the most user friendly method I have ever used to book travel / camp plans. My favorite feature is the fact that they have linked a photo to each campsite! Of course how do you know which site to book online if you've never been there? You don't have to do a bunch of internet research or try to get a ranger on the phone during office hours. It was the easiest, most straightforward booking I have ever done. Everything worked exactly as stated and planned. Would recommend 10000%.

We had a great site on the Outer loop and could hear the ocean at night. The bath house and rest rooms were extremely clean and yes I would stay there again

My girlfriend and I LOVED it there. We were cross the road from bathroom and shower, had a GREAT time there, and the distance to get to Frisco Beach was AWESOME! If you have 4 Wheels Drive, get a off beach permit and just drive from the campground to the beach. It was so much fun. Will be coming back!

Nice campground and semi private spots. My main comment is PLEASE install hot showers. Use as a solar exercise pilot/progressive innovation to write a grant, whatever.
Also install solar showers at Ocracoke campground.
