2 nights in Cabin 22 - 2 people/2 dogs /1 vehicle. Check in was quick and easy and ice is available. The screened porch was perfect for the dog's crate and to store the beach chairs, coolers, etc. There is a large folding table and a small folding table and 3(?) chairs with plenty of room to set up inside or out on the porch. Hooks outside for beach towels. Our first time camping with a small solar generator and we brought a lamp from home :) but didn't realize generator could be plugged in for overhead lighting. Plenty of hot water and the kitchen sink, shower and propane stove more than adequate for us. I don't think the oven worked but we didn't need it. This cabin is right next to Cabin 21 which blocked airflow a bit so bring a portable fan if you can. Met nice people next door. Tip *there is an outdoor spigot! Husband thought to pack a lightweight hose and it was great to rinse the beach chairs and dogs before heading home and rinse the salt off the car (hubby is picky lol) This cabin has short walk right out to the beach where we had campfires at sunset and then saw so many stars! Mattresses were fine for sleeping. Tried our hand at fishing along sound and surf, caught small fish and had a great time. Had no issues driving on the beach or back road in our SUV. Used the bath house last day and it was very clean. Upon checkout, I mentioned the cabin door lock was very difficult to open (key stuck) and we saw carpenter ant damage inside the front door each morning but the two ladies at the front office didn't seem to care. Bring bug spray and sunscreen and a small rug/doormat to help keep some sand out of the cabin! Davis Ferry was quick and easy and this cabin was affordable and was perfect for our quick getaway!

We love visiting Cape Lookout. Each time we come we plan and pack better and we will do even better the next visit.
The only issue we had on this past visit that I feel you should know about was the roach issue. We have never had this issue before. I understand that we are on sand, near water and in the South etc but just wanted to share that they were everywhere. In the evenings they would actually run across bedding and drop from the ceilings on us while we were sleeping. We’ve visited several times and have never experienced this before.
Like I said we just love it there and this doesn’t stop us from coming back but thought we should let you know.
Thank you.

Its always a fun trip. The island is beautiful and the volunteer staff is helpful and nice. The Davis Shore ferry service is the best. The crew on the boat are helpful and informative. They are willing to adjust schedules and bring things over when requested. The cabins are in better shape and showers and ovens seem to work better.

7th visit. Cabins can be excellent depending on location and which one. This trip: 12 has a great view and everything worked well. 20 has no view, malfunctioning water heater and most annoyingly ANTS which invade all supplies if you’re not equipped with insecticide, but we were.
Staff are very laid back, easy to engage, and non intrusive which is very important and appreciated!! We had a great experience 👍
