If your idea of amenities are gorgeous sunrises, sunsets, and indescribable starlit night skies while camping in natural dunes next to the sand and surf, then this is the place for you!

We always love going to Frisco, and that is why we return every year. This year was no exception. The staff is ALWAYS friendly and ALWAYS smiling. It is such a pleasure communicating with them if the need arises. The grounds are always clean, and the areas are well taken care of. Thank you for all the effort to help us enjoy our time there

I continued to book at Frisco due to the more private nature of the campsites than those at other National Parks owned campgrounds on the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, and was offered excellent customer service by Ranger Michael whip helped find unique and interesting sites that offered natural amenities that I was looking to explore (I grew up in WNC and had never seen a wax myrtle, a loblolly pine, or a live oak…those are all indigenous to ENC, and he guided me to sites that featured not only marvelous views, but also differing experiences of the local ecosystem, which I, as a native Mountain Region North Carolinian, am unfamiliar with).
Unfortunately, I only had the opportunity to meet one other Ranger while staying in Frisco Campground (another WNC native whose first National Parks experience was at the SAME PARK AS MINE and she stated led to her pursuit of work with the Parks Service), Ranger Savannah. I verbalized my concerns and sadness about the unkempt, visibly uncared for state of this North Carolinian National Seashore…where there are poorly maintained bath houses with water leaks, sinks that would not turn off once pushed to initiate flow for handwashing, drinking water that SMELLS METALLIC, holes in plexiglass of shower house roofs that have been left for long enough to allow damage to interior beam structures, and a harshly demeanored camp host (with a hurtful and political statement flag posted to her site marker).
Ranger Savannah hit the nail on the head when she said “it really does make a difference when people care about the park they work in.” She verbalized leaving our home state at the seasons end for better opportunities, and I wish her luck…but later I would witness her texting while driving a National Parks vehicle, with the tires literally driving off of the road…
I agree with Ranger Savannah. Our Park in WNC IS cared for by its staff. I am dissatisfied with what I have found passes for care in ENC
