The cabin was wonderful after a 12 mi paddle. So great to have running water, flush toilet, and shower after a long paddle. The beach and inner coastal area's were superb. What a wonderful place to visit.

Great Island Cabin Camp on the South Core Banks is a very peaceful and beautiful place to vacation. I love this park and the pristine beaches and dunes.

Cabin/site is great. A volunteer threatened one of our guests with arrest over a reservation confusion. This is the second time in as many trips we’ve been threatened with arrest.

Cabin/site is great. A volunteer threatened one of our guests with arrest over some confusion about a reservation. This is the second time in as many trips we’ve been threatened with arrest. Take it down a notch.

Our ninth year visiting Cape Lookout was another success! The winds were manageable and strong enough to keep the insects in control. The cabin was in good shape other than a couple tears in some window screens. The staff was helpful as always.

My family and friends had an exceptional time at the cabins!! Even in August, with the heat! Check-in was easy, and the cabin bunks were super comfortable. It was great to have a grill and stove for cooking too!

This was my family’s 12th year visiting the island. We always stay a week. We love everything about the island. Every year the staff has been amazing, except this year. The staff was very rude and very off-putting. Considering it’s a volunteering position, if you don't enjoy your job, quit. I hope next year the staff is more pleasent.

Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
Fires & fuel
- Guests should obtain firewood locally and burn it on-site to protect forests; transporting firewood is illegal in some states.
