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.

The campground was clean and quiet. The bathrooms and shower were close to the campsites. Bathrooms and showers were also clean and everything functioned. Iβm not sure why the website said they had no hot water. It was 65 degrees, rainy and windy when we went and my wive and I both had a nice warm shower.

We enjoyed our camping stay in the Oregon Inlet. Our site was level with ample room. It was safe and quiet. It was only a short walk to the beach and Marina. We would enjoy going back but it was a fluke we found 2 nights available. Itβs difficult finding a site.

what a wonderful location for a campground. Beautiful surroundings and only feet from Long Beach walks, sunrises and sunsets.
