Great price with senior America the Beautiful card. Water & electric, no sewer. Nice place, on the ocean. No ammenities, but comfortable, clean bathhouses. NO bugs in October. Good beach, close to Nags Head, Ktty Hawk etc. Drivable beach. Dump station across street. Move the garbage dumpsters, they are in the way/road.

Pros- Good location close to beach. Decent bathrooms. Generally clean.
Cons- Sites are very close together, privacy is non-existent. Have to listen to boom-boom-boom of fellow camper's music. Also, highway noise drowns out nature. Traffic did thin out around 2am-4am, so could hear the ocean surf then... but otherwise puts a damper on the experience.

What a great camping experience. Camping so near the beach with electric and water was super. The only negative was that the 30 amp receptacle showed signs of melting. Out of caution we decided to use the 50 amp instead.

Near the sand dunes. Ocean not far away. Starry night sky. But the grass-like vegetation growing around seems to produce many small thorns. Could be difficult for families with young children.

The campsites were fine; keep in mind that this area can be fairly windy so you may not be able to use your awnings or screened tents, etc. For RVs, this was good, just bring an auxiliary septic/gray water tank if you plan to stay long.
