Reservation system has a lot to be desired booked up 7 hrs after reset day How can it be booked up 6 months before arrival date. Maybe 3 days is asking too much we did 2 days with electricity and those days were wonderful park service was above par

My wife and I had a wonderful time at Oregon Inlet Campground. Making the reservation was easy, self check-in was a breeze, and the grounds and restrooms were well-kept. Having the beach just a quick but adventurous walk through the dunes was perfect. We will definitely be back.

Had a great time catching up with friends and enjoying the beauty of the Outer Banks. The grounds were clean and close to the beach, facilities were also nice for camp standards including hot showers! Can’t wait to come back.

Very nice site. B25 is close to a bathhouse and easy to get in and out of. Long enough for. 33 foot camper and a truck. If you would like a Air conditioned bathroom the one at the fishing center public boat ramp is very nice

Absolutely wonderful. Sure will come back. Yes it was windy, but that's suppose to be so on the ocean beach. Restrooms are clean. Wish cell signal would be a bit better, but that's not a campsite issue. We loved that campsite as it's quite away from main crowd, but from another hand not far from Nags Head with all needed stores. Great place to camp.

Camping areas were great. Bathrooms were decent. Access to potable water was great.
Showers need to be updated.
They need an area for your clean clothing to safe from getting wet.
Overall, I will be back in the future.

Was unable to get to the campground due to accident on bridge. Employees on site were unable to assist with changing or canceling my reservation. Have called the toll-free four times and have yet to receive an answer.
