Short walk to the beach or you can by a permit and drive onto the beach. Restaurants are close by.

The campground hosts were very nice and helpful. Bathrooms clean. The site had some erosion to deal with. Unfortunately ticks are a thing to deal with, tick checks can solve that problem. Absolutely beautiful setting. Will come back for sure.

Beautiful campground - set in the dunes on the outer banks. The surrounding area is quaint and supplies are plentiful. The bathroom clean and the sites small but cozy. There was a lot of shade for an ocean side camground and a lot of privacy. Would stay there again!

Perfect weather during my visit - shorts and a t-shirt were perfect for the duration. The stars at night are awe inspiring. I could hear the surf.
While the sound side of the island was windy drawing the kite boarders and windsurfers, the campground was not windy.
Clean bathrooms and no litter make for a nice campground.

Camped here with my family in spot A5. We chose it for the convenience,right near the entrance and directly across from the bathrooms and showers. Perfect for car camping, but not much room for a tent, so I’d pick a different spot if you’re tent camping.
The campground itself was super clean, and the bathrooms were way nicer than expected. Showers are cold though, so bringing a solar shower is a smart move.
The beach is very close, you can hear the waves at night and the stars are incredible thanks to low light pollution. Definitely plan for some downtime to just relax, enjoy the beach, catch the sunset, and take in the night sky. Saw some people windsurfing too, which was pretty cool.
Only downside: ticks… a lot of them. Lone star ticks everywhere. Stay out of the brush and bring strong bug spray.
Overall, great spot if you come prepared.

Frisco campground is great as long as you are ready for primitive camping. Very quiet and secluded. I will do again Lord willing!

Great stay, location nice and quiet with sounds of waves! Area was clean easy to locate and plenty of space for camp and vehicle! Showers and bathrooms well lite and during our stay, could become over crowded if full but plenty of options. All facilities stocked and trash can was clean and not over filled or smelly!

Frisco is only campground on the outer banks where you can see the ocean. Been coming here for 37 years and would not go anywhere else. Facility’s are more than adequate and staff are friendly. Recommended if you don’t need a luxury resort.
