Hello!
I absolutely love the campground. It's just as I remember over 20 years later. Clean, love that it has showers, regular toilets, etc. The only thing that was really upsetting is the fact that the beach is flooded with ORV vehicles now. I have nothing against them at all and think off roading on the beach is super fun, but for tent campers like us looking for something more private and rustic, it was super disappointing looking at a beach full of vehicles. Looked more like a parking lot when we just wanted to be surrounded by the natural beauty. If anything, it'd be nice if part of the beach was at least closed off to ORV, maybe just a section that spans the camping area for us who walk on foot to the beach. There was hardly even a space for us to put down a beach blanket and umbrella without being a foot away from someones car. Forget walking to find a place. Cars as far as you can see.

One of my favorite campgrounds! Assume staffing shortages or layoffs of Federal Park employees may have had something to do with the conditions. Bathrooms were kept tidy but the showers on the E road were in pretty bad shape, cleanliness wise. Campground seemed relatively full. Had there been staff, onsite at least part of the time, there may not have been a site with 5 or more tents set up on it and multiple cars. Overall, will definitely come again but hope to see staffing shortages restored so that the grounds and facilities are cared for like they have been in the past.❣️

Many nice campsites. Showers are 'cool' but nice enough.
Suggestion would be for NPS to designate 'Tent only' or NO generator sections. Person across had a diesel generator running from 6:15 am until 10 pm, even if not there. We did mention to camp host and it got a bit better on how many hours they ran it.

Great campground with excellent beach access. Location is good near Hatteras. Only complaint is lack of cell coverage. Have both T-Mobile and Verizon and had only SOS the entire time. We did find that you got signal on the beach (go figure). Overall, great camping experience!

The best part of this campground was the quiet and the stars at night. There are spurs in the sand, the sites are small and barely fit a 6 person tent, red ants were everywhere, and there was not a lot of shade anywhere. The proximity to the beach was very nice but the bathroom is stifling hot and did not smell pleasant, and the showers definitely would have been cleaner although they weren’t filthy either. Will not come back but if someone plans to really rough it then I think it would be a great site for the beach.
