Great location. Clean and tranquil. Will return as soon as possible. Sites are well spaced out and pretty private thanks to the nature surrounding

We had a great visit. Mosquitos were there but not crazy. The campground was super quiet and we could hear the waves at night when we were going to sleep. Awesome!

Overall a good camping experience.
We were disappointed with one representative that was rude and gave us 30 minutes to pack and leave without first asking questions. My daughter had tried to book/pay for the site but was unable do to lack of internet availability. I had tried to pay
This man showed up at our site and stated “I see you did not pay for last nights camping.
After my daughter had told me she was unable to register/pay I tried to pay with cash and found that was not an option.
We later had a pleasant encounter with a ranger who understood our dilemma and stated that it sounded like we had likely encountered a volunteer.
Might I suggest more direct supervised training before encounters with the public.

We thought The National Park CG at Frisco was very nice. The close proximity of the drivable beach to the CG is great. The bathrooms and shower house were well kept. I do feel that with the advent of power banks and solar power, gas generators should be more limited or restricted in these primitive campgrounds. Also in this CG there is a sign at the entrance that states "Registered Campers Only". Unfortunately locals use this CG as a walking path and the local HS even uses it to train for crocs country running. This disturbs the solitude of the CG and the sign at the entrance should be enforced. Campers are paying to use the CG and shouldn't be bothered by random people walking, running, or driving through. Just common sense.

October is definitely a good time to visit Frisco Campground and the Outer Banks but beware of the burrs in the grasses! Our site driveway was not very level but we were able to move over to the next level site because the campground was not busy. It is Definitely a plus to have flush toilets and running water but it would be helpful to have shelves and hooks near the sinks for personal washing. The beach access was walking distance close.

Beautiful campground with well-spaced sites that let you enjoy the environment. The facilities are well kept: clean bathrooms and showers, no trash around the grounds. Our site had a little sheltered spot in the woods for tents, which was perfect. My only quibble would be the lack of hot running water, which is fine in the summer but a little uncomfortable in cool weather.

This campground is very quiet - so quiet you can hear the waves in the farthest sites. Camp hosts were great and checked in if they saw us sitting outside. The mosquitos are no joke and were competing with the birds in size. :) Thermacells provided not protection and sprays provided limited protection so be prepared. Tavern on 12 was great for dinner. Frisco Woods Campground allowed us to load up water and dump when we left for $20.

Avoid crowded summer time which has many biting insects and noisy generators from neighboring campers. Nice campsites with running water rest-rooms which is a nice feature.
