Beautiful and natural setting in walking distance from the ocean. Would have liked even better if the showers were warm, if there was a closer dump station and a fish cleaning station. Note for pet owners: the grass has a lot of burrs or sand spurs. We carried our dog to the woods so he could walk on pine needles instead. We would definitely go back again. There is no beach any more beautiful. A very peaceful setting. We also enjoyed riding our bicycles in the campground. The restrooms and entire campground are kept very clean and neat.

I followed the suggestion in another review to book a P site and was not disappointed! They just seen to be a little more private and pretty. Bathrooms were clean, it was quiet, so easy to get to the beach.

Great weather and clean campground. The terrain allows for a relatively private camping experience. Our space (P08) had a nice setting for the picnic table, beneath some cedars. If they had fire pits it would be perfect.

Awesome privacy and tree coverage. The site is ~5min walk from 2 bathroom sites. Beach is about 15 min walk
**the grill was rusted through and was not useable. This sucked and was the only downside

The campground location from the beach is great. Across from the entrance to the grounds is a gas station with a small grocery store that was very convienent for last minute items and ice. The site location (F5) was nice and quiet. Reasonably close to bathrooms. We were disappointed that the site was not maintained in anyway. (Knee high grass shoots matched with sand spurs) We spoke with the park ranger upon arrival about switching sites (we have small children). I was told that although there was the availability online, its a lot of work to switch sites in the computer system. I mention about our request in wanting to switch being the upkeep
The park ranger suggested I write a review with my suggestion about the site upkeep. Since we weren't able to switch sites, we spent sometime clearing a pad for our tents, around our picnic table and grill area. Not all site locations in the park are like this. If bringing an RV, I would have no problems with any sites. Every site seems to have enough parking space.

If Oregon Inlet can have hot showers why doesn't Frisco and Ocracoke? All Nation parks are great, but cold showers are not good. Need to have hot showers!!!
