Was my first time setting up my camper. The grounds are nice and the Rangers were great.

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.

Need to make more dump stations and then improve location signs to get to dump.

great campground at the heart of the Outerbanks. only let down is the shower situation. they have two showers with outside stalls. so if it is cold out you will be cold.

Great location just steps away from the beach. Beautiful setting. Our site had water and electricity in C loop. Nice historical sites that we visited. Body light house was just a short drive away and the Wright Brothers National Monument is a must see if you have any interest in aviation.

My second set of reservations is not listed.
There is no record of where I’m supposed to go, so I’m taking my original spot.
The rangers & volunteers are great, but this system SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOW?!?!?!
C 38 doesn’t even exist, or is still occupied, I can’t tell.

Of the National Seashore campgrounds on the Outer Banks, this one at Oregon Inlet actually has sites with electric hookup which is nice. Other campgrounds don’t and wish they did. Also this campground actually has heated showers which is nice in the colder months. Verizon cellular was usable and since there is no tree cover in the campground my Starlink worked 100%.

We enjoy our time at the Inlet. Very nice guests. Great food across the street at the marine center if you want to get a meal out. We love the 4x4 beach access. It really is a great location. The tent only sites could be bigger. We have selected a few better ones for out next stay. Beware of burrs. We keep the dog out of the weeds and we still come home with burrs.
