Very scenic campground! Some sites have more privacy than others. It seems you can either have privacy + shade + bugs, or no privacy + wind + direct sun + less bugs.
Camp hosts were very friendly. 5-10 minute walk to a beautiful beach. You can hear the waves crashing from the campground.
We stayed in b012 which was about a 100 Ft walk down a sand path to a cleared site covered with trees. While beautiful, private, and magical, the bugs were unreal. Bring bug spray for you and your pets!
Cold showers but at least they were clean. Bathroom facilities were good.
Water had a weird taste to it; we ended up buying bottled water.
Overall great experience and great location on hatteras.

My 31 year old daughter and I camped for a week in the highest elevation under the oak trees. The shelter provided by the trees was perfect. We were close to the bathhouse which was very convenient. We created a memory that will last for a lifetime.

We stayed in site P67, which had fantastic views. The campground was very clean and well maintained, the beach is lovely, and there is a shop/gas station quite near the entrance where you can get all the essentials. Just remember to bring lots of bug spray!!

Great campground for us! Walking opportunities from campground (on trails and on the beach), decent sites with protection from sun & wind at many sites, clean restrooms, showers. Sunrises and sunsets from the beach access at the campground. I never saw anyone working at the entrance kiosk the entire 4 days we were there, but someone was working at the campground since the reservation tags were put on campsite posts.

The campsite at Frisco is the best on the Outer Banks. Each site is notched into the vegetation so you almost can't see your neighbor. This is not the typical "parking lot" campsite like some on the Island. For the price you cannot beat the views and nature!
