Most of the sites were good for usable.
On the C loop where the Sharpe turn is a large hole in the road. Sites in front of bath house are about usable all the time because they are a lake. They need to be shet down and taken off web site.

Sites are small, very tight to park your tow vehicle. Great location on the dunes, short walk to the beach. Restrooms were cleaned and stocked every day. Outdoor showers actually provided hot water in mid October. Great price, would definitely stay again.

Nice, quiet and clean campground. Very close to Ramp 4 (4x4 beach access) and across the street from Oregon Inlet Fishing Center.

The best thing about this campsite is its location at the end of the island, making it peaceful and quiet. It offers easy access to the beach, with the beach access road right next to the campground. If you enjoy biking, you’re just a short ride from Nags Head or can cross the bridge to Manteo. Heading the other way takes you over the bridge to Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge, a beautiful area to explore.
