Overall the grounds were good, the biggest issue I had during my week long visit is was for half of it there was no power to the bath houses and it made it difficult to go to during the night had to carry a flashlight or lantern.

Very high population of mosquitoes concentrated just at this site. Bring a thermacell otherwise you’ll leave with a few flying friends.

My normal campsite was not available which I have had for over 30years so I had to blindly pick and was on a big slant...had to call someone in my family in ohio to go on line and switch sites since all on line now...back in day you could go to office to see what was available...no more..a bit annoying.

Absolutely loved Frisco Campground. Quiet, clean, great views. Didn't mind the cold showers, was actually refreshing after a long hot day. The reservation process was beyond easy! Very close to Hatteras terminal. Definitely take a trip to Ocracoke and look into a ferry to Portsmouth Island!

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.
