We had a very nice site but not meant for a 40’ motorhome. Parked our car on the grass, 3days in we were told can’t park on grass, had to park at bathhouse. No satellite service, spotty phone. But, the price was right, and close to many Outer Bank amenities.

Decent camp ground with semi private sites. Good location to town and close access to ORV entrance. May check it out again.

The campground is lovely with a variety of campsites to please just about anyone. Some are sunny and some are shady. There are sites to accommodate RVs or tents and anything in between. There are no electrical sites but that is not a concern for me. The restrooms are neat and well kept as are the showers. Just FYI: As far as I know there are only cold showers and no lights in the shower houses. The beaches nearby and further afield are just outstanding and I didn't even try to tear myself away from them. I love how things are kept accessible while still maintaining the natural beauty. I had little interaction with the staff but what little I did have was very friendly and upbeat. I enjoyed visits to some of the lighthouses in the area and a restaurant or two for lunch. The nights were very dark making star gazing a peaceful end to each day. It is a long drive from where I live but I have no doubt that I will be returning over and over again.

Campground is kept immaculately clean, the rangers who work there are always smiling, friendly and unfailingly courteous. It is also a beautiful, pristine locale topographically. I've been camping at Frisco Campgrounds next to Billy Mitchell airport since 1970 and it has not changed a bit. Not many places there you can say that about and it is areal bargain to boot $-wise.

Enjoyed our time at the Frisco campground. Nice shady site and just a short walk to the beach. A dump station and water at the campground would have been nice

It's a long walk to the beach regardless of where your side is. But the Rangers were wonderful helpful and very friendly.

Frisco is unlike any other campground - living in the dunes. Be sure to set aside time to just relax and enjoy the scene or wander out to the beach. The night sky (almost zero light pollution) is fabulous. The showers in the park don't have hot water. It can be a bit chilly but... it's better than being dirty!
The Frisco Native American Museum (just outside the entrance to the park) is worth seeing. The Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum (down the road in Hatteras) is also well done. A drive up to the Avon Pier is a good excursion. If you're looking for a place to eat, I recommend the Pangea Tavern (in Avon). Check the hours before you go.
