Oregon Inlet Campground is praised for its beautiful location and proximity to the beach, with clean facilities and friendly staff. Many visitors enjoyed the hot showers and overall cleanliness of the campground. However, some noted issues with small, closely spaced campsites, biting insects, and occasional flooding, particularly after heavy rain.

Awesome location!
It may have been April when I visited, but the time spent there was well worth it. To be totally honest, I felt so relaxed, I totally lost track of which day of the week and month it was.
Sites are clean, the campground host was very friendly.
And to top things off, it was "pull rope" showers. Loved it.
Thanks NPS for providing nice campgrounds.

Great location with beach access and fishing. Spot 30C was nice. Close to the bathroom, quiet (very little traffic noise), and the living side of our 5th wheel was in the shade during the evening hours as the sun was setting. Fishing center across the street has a new and really nice restaurant with great views. We’ll be back. We have t-mobile and the signal was strong.

Amazing campsite right on the sand, not overly close to the nextdoor sites. Amazing beach access, no mosquitos while I was here!!

Great experience. Campground was quiet and people were friendly. Just a short walk over the sand dunes to the beach.
Bathhouse was great and showers were especially nice. Will return.

We enjoyed our time there. Even though we are not really beach goers. The campground is very open and has no trees so you are relatively close to your neighbors but it is a pretty mellow campground - specially when we went - late in September. You really can't hear the road and I think all sites are the same unless you want to be close to the facilities - which we were. The showers are unique. You have to hold unto a string to make the water flow but once it does you feel like you are under a waterfall. The facilities were relatively clean. No laundry or place to do your dishes. The beach is at a walking distance of all the sites and fun to visit early morning and evening. Restaurants at Nags Head are about a 15 - 20 minute drive and Kill Devil Grille is a must go place if you visit the area (sit at the bar if you are a couple). We never visited the restaurant across the street but we understand it is good.

Away from the crowds! Great beach,nice sites.
The new restaurant Sea Chef at the marina was excellent- some of 5ge best shrimp I have ever eaten.
Unfortunately the folks across from us ran their generator from 8am until 10 pm. Fewer hrs would be great as well as mor3 sites w electric.

Sat/Sun 10/5&6 - site was fine. Showers were warm (I was surprised). Ocean access over dunes was a little tedious, but....😊

Great location! The site had a good amount of sand spurs but other than that, it was well kept.
