I stayed for a couple of days and really liked the unique layout of sites and park. You can actually set up in the shade here and access to both Buxton and Hatteras Village is great too.

I didn't even go yet I get a voicemail stating I've overstayed my booking and needed to leave. So I tried calling to have nobody answer multiple times. There's not even a voicemail to leave a message. I work nights and sleep during the day so it will be hard to get ahold of them without a voicemail.

I have stayed at this campground in the same site since 2011. It is primitive yet very comfortable. The sites are all paved which is something you don't find in a lot of private campgrounds. It would be nice if a dump station were added on site.

We had a great time. Campsite was exactly what we were looking for. Bathrooms were clean, showers were excellent. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

This is my favorite campground anywhere. If you are lucky you can get a site where you can see the ocean over the dunes. It would be nice if they had water and electric because generators can spoil it for those who want to hear the wind through the trees and grasses. There are several boardwalks to the beach plus 4 wheel drive access is right outside the camp entrance. Be careful of small cacti with large needles, however. Also, be alert for cottonmouths who sometimes like to sun on the pavement. I've only seen them a few times, so watch where you step.

IF TENT CAMPING PLEASE BE SURE TO WEAR A SOLID SOLE SHOE IN ORDER TO AVOID THE SMALL BURR LIKE BALLS. ALSO RECOMMEND THE USE OF FANS IN THE TENT. SOME SITES DO NOT RECEIVE ANY BREEZE
