This was an excellent camp spot. Level ground with shade, brush between campsites for privacy. Little bit of a walk to the bathroom / shower and beach. Nice quiet campground and clean.

Assateaque is my favorite place on the planet!!! I sooooo want to be an ocean loop host next year. The people -- camp hosts, ranger station and pony staff -- were all so nice. A family of seven horses -- mom, baby, dad, and 4 of mom's children from a previous relationship came grazing in the campground. It was surreal to see horses casually grazing in the middle of various campsites. I made a few short videos and my Instagram, facebook and youtube friends just loved it. Your island brought joy far beyond your shores. I can't wait to come back!!!!!!

Site A2, our 27' camper fit fine but a bit tight to park truck too. Rest of site very spacious with alot of bushes around to give privacy yet lots of sun for the solar panels. We toured rest off campground, many sites have great views of ocean but could be a problem when windy. Not many sites have shade though many have bushes for privacy. Bathrooms VERY clean, did not try the 'cold-only' showers. Nice to have dumpsters by each bathroom but I think there should be a recycling option. Quiet (though you could some of ocean/wave noise), Rt 12 far enough away that road noise wasn't prominent. Our stay was early May.

A beautiful well maintained campground.
If you are using a tent make sure to have stakes good for loose sand!

Frisco is my favorite campground on the Hatteras Seashore. While large, it has a lot of geographic relief and variability. The campsite I prefer is relatively private. On this trip the bathrooms were in excellent shape. It's just a lovely spot.

It was windy however, everything in the campgrounds was great! It was clean, well kept and because of the time of year, it was not crowded.
