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.

Stall showers outside- hot water but cold air blows in around you

Enjoyed off-season stay although campground was full. Weather cooperated and although swimming was limited, it was very pleasant. A favorite restaurant closed, but found another that was close.

The camp site was great this was our 2nd time coming to this location. Love that it's so close to the beach. Noone bothers you. The shower area and the bathroom area well kept. If you need run to a store for anything it's only like a 14 to 17 min drive away. The absolute only bad thing me and my family hated was there are these spike like things from little plants that you step on so wear shoes. They get everywhere, my poor dogs was getting them in their paws. But really other than that this place is amazing.

Plenty of austere, primitive barrier island nature here. Warm showers are a plus after swimming in cold months.

Quiet location with access to the beach over the dunes. Near to all the shops and restaurants but feels a world away. Caution, burrs abound and get in the dog's paws if you walk them off the pavement

We don't have much to compare this to, but we really enjoyed our stay and will be going back. We love the open access and the ability to check in late. The bathrooms are dated but clean. We had no issues. No noisy neighbors or anything negative. The beach access for 4x4 is great. We can't wait to go back and try the other campgrounds too.
