This is a very nice campground with some trees that provide shelter. It was pretty quiet during our stay. Virtually no staff visible the whole time we were there. The sites are not set back very far from the road, so on the outer loop there is a fair amount of traffic passing by the site. But there is more privacy than the other two campgrounds on the island. It's walking distance to the beach. I don't know why the Park Service can't figure out how to prevent no-shows that tie up sites for people who reserve them but don't show up. Maybe require a refundable deposit or a deadline to show up or call. It's a shame that people who want to camp can't get a site because someone has reserved it and doesn't use it. I was very disappointed that there is no way to recycle at the campground -- on Earth Day no less!

Nice campground. Many sheltered and partly private sites. Easy and quick access to the beach. Cold water shower a little difficult early in the season.

Frisco campground is convenient to see the Hatteras Lighthouse & the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum. Campground itself is more scenic than Oregon Inlet, although there are no electric or water campsites. Restrooms are modern & clean. Separate shower building doesn't have heated water... which works on a hot sunny day, but not on a cold, rainy one. The boardwalk through the dunes ends in a sandy hill to climb up & down - we belatedly found a flat road for vehicles through the dunes. The number of trucks & jeeps crowding the beach was frustrating. We could tolerate the ones with fishing poles, but the guys just wanting to show off testosterone by driving fast on a beach were irritating. We found some shells on a small stretch not trammeled by tires.

We stayed in P055 for 3 days mid April in a tent. It is a beautiful sparse campground with pockets of privacy and shade for tents. The bathrooms are very clean and the beaches, boardwalks, and trails are beautiful. It was truly a wonderful experience

Love the remoteness and beauty of the park among the dunes, and enjoyed the casual vibe among campers and park staff. Well maintained campsites and trails. We'll be back again!
