Beautiful campground located in the dunes and with close access to the beach. The only negative point about this campground is the non-heated water shower system.

Beautiful Campground! Wish the showers were heated or solar but knew that they weren’t going in :)

Beautiful location. Enjoyed our frequent walks on the beach and relaxing in our chairs by the dunes. Campground was great. Wouldn’t change a thing. Yes, you can live with cold showers! Had a wonderful time and wish we could have stayed longer

Very nice, clean campground. Many sites with a variety of settings, I tent camped in a nice protected area with bushes all around me so it wasn't very windy. Cold water at showers but very nice and clean facilities as well. Would definitely camp here again.

P044 was the campsite we stayed in. This campground has amazing amenities for being a non electric campground. They have nice tiled bathrooms and showers (cold). Filter water station as well as a well water if needed too. They have wood paths that lead all the way to beach. My campsite I will say did welcome us with a cottonmouth when we first arrived it was rather feisty but then headed on it's way. We also did see another snake but we could tell it was a rat snake so it wasn't of bother to us safety wise. If you plan on staying here just be prepared to potentially deal with cottonmouths because they are in the area. We didn't have service in our specific campsite however if you walked down the road 100ft you got signal again so nothing was too bothersome there.

We stayed at site p 61. This is a very nice level site. However there is a very very long walk to the restrooms.
It would make sense for a pathway to be made through the thick underbrush to create reasonable access.
Otherwise this is a beautiful campground!

Not being able to make reservations on the day of the visit is a problem. In general, making reservations on recreation.gov can quite frustrating. Campsites are often booked months in advance, and then people don't show up. The parks don't care because they have their money and the place is 100% booked, but campsites go unused.

I've been coming to Frisco National Campground on Cape Hatteras National Seashore for decades. Beautiful sand beaches and 4-wheel drive access to fishing off the beach. Frisco campground is nestled into rugged dunes with old pine trees and wind blown junipers. Each individual campsite is unique, with some more shaded and nestled into the trees, and others more open and sunny. The restroom buildings are separated from the shower buildings and are conveniently located around the campground. The showers are cold water only, so be prepared for a bracing indoor/outdoor shower. The rangers and maintenance employees are responsive and friendly. My favorites place to be.
