Great location. Exceptional due to the unusual for national parks service of electric and water at the site. Direct beach access behind the site with trails over the dones to the Atlantic Ocean. The C loop has paved outside and inside spots around the loop. Fabulous beaches of the OBX. Clean restrooms with separate showers to include hot water water. Filtered water machine adjacent. Very clean. Hosts diligent and friendly. Check in and out was a breeze. Dump station located across the highway at Oregon Inlet Fishing marina towards the back of parking lot.

The outside showers were really cold - maybe in the summer it would be nice. Roads very narrow for trucks backing in larger campers. Traffic on the main artery was pretty loud all night. A walk to the beach was rough - definitely more appropriate for 4 wheel drive vehicles to access the beach. We enjoyed the rest of the outer banks - Jennette's Pier was wonderful!

As always wind with open showers. This may be acceptable above 60 deg. but not below. Close in the shower houses.

Nice place to camp, but sites are very short. Also the campground was without power for 8 hours, must be a common issue because the host had a generator next to camper. Will for sure return again.

This was our third year staying at Oregon Inlet. The bathrooms were extremely clean and overall a well kept facility. It’s proximity to the Wright Brothers Museum, Bodie lighthouse, Kitty Hawk, and Nags Head make it an ideal camping location. Above all the endless deserted beaches make this our primary late spring retreat destination.

Loved the campsite in C loop with electric and water hookup. Bathrooms were nice. Paths to the beach were a bit long to carry stuff to the beach though but beach was great. Camp hosts were very nice. Campground was close to town of Nags Head if you wanted to hit restaurants and groceries.
