We had to check out 2 days early due to a family emergency and they were kind enough to issue us a credit back for those days. We will definitely be back!

Site #18. Site was clean and easy to back into. Our 3rd year staying here and it is always quiet and peaceful. Cell service was good (AT&T).

Great campground especially for the price. Hot showers, clean bathrooms, large spaces to camp. You can run a generator during the day (not during quiet hours), the beach is a close walk. Getting to the beach; it is best if you can drive on the beach. There is a part of the beach that is heavy with sand which makes it very hard to pull or push a cart through the sand. So walking is a great workout and easier than a cart, but it is a workout.

Just let me say that we usually love this campground, but not this time of year. It's too hot if you can't get a site with water & electric to run the AC. We were meeting family there. We all ended up leaving early. The cooler months are our favorite times to visit. It's not wall to wall crowded & hot with high humidity!
Also, now that the marina across the busy road has been renovated & remodeled, the accessibility to the dump station is not good at all. Same old small dump facility that now requires you to maneuver your rig through the very narrow & crowed corridor. It's actually confusing as to which way to get to it now. But then again, it's that time of year when it gets real busy at the OBX

We have been coming there for years. My concern is with the people that ignore the rules on generators. The camper next to us ran an extension cord into the sand dunes behind us and ran his generator all night. Someone needs to enforce the rules. Im sure if the tall grass caught on fire then there would be enforcement done. It only takes one or two people to ruin things for many.

Very clean bathrooms, except for the air vents those have a good year or more's worth of dust on them, not so clean air, but the floor, toilets (nice) and sinks are well kept. Showers are ... I didn't use those. I wouldn't, or I'd have to deduct more stars.. Good thing it was just a night!

Very nice campground! We were here for 5 nights in 3 sites (having made our reservation just a couple of days before our arrival), and we were very pleased with all of the sites. The campground is well-managed and the restroom and showers were clean and very nice.
