Great location and really pretty spot. The campsites don't have trees so if privacy is your thing, may not be for you. But sites are reasonable size and walking to the beach is a short walk. Beach is pretty and lots of shells. Everything was clean and we'd definately go back. Were a bit worried as we arrived after a rain and there was no breeze, so there were a lot of mosquitos and no see ems. But shortly after and for the next few days we barely noticed them again.

The campground is a 5 minute walk through the dunes to the beach. The campground has three loops: dry camping tent only, and two loops for RV &Trailers. Oddly about a third of the RV/trailer sites do not have water or electric which results in someone running their generator which makes it impossible to enjoy the sounds of the birds and ocean. Generator hours are from 6AM to 10 PM! Stay away from the dry sites if you can.
Sites are paved and fairly level. It’s a 15 minute drive to stores. There is some road noise but the campground is usually quiet and relaxing.

Campsite #11: Van camper, April 29, 2024. This is a primitive site! Very windy too - you are on the Outer Banks after all. Choose not to pitch tent due to wind and blowing sand. There were several hardy campers in tents, although expect they had much sand in their bedding. Camp stove on picnic table would be difficult to keep lit and blowing sand most likely to find its way into your cooking. Restrooms were nice (running water) and clean. Showers were more primitive; separate from the restroom bldg, with 3/4 doors (feet and head visible to outside) and an overhead center "shower" head with pull lever to activate. I found it difficult to not wet my clean clothes and towel (draped over the door) with this overhead shower. This "shower" is most likely suited to rinse off sand and salt while wearing your swim suit.
