This is a great place to stay near all the fun attractions of OBX at an affordable price. We enjoyed our stay.

We camped in A loop and both the bathroom and the shower stalls were closed. We didn’t know this until we arrived and it really impacted our stay. There was a long walk to the open bathroom in the loop that had trailers and vans and many people trying to use the only facilities

Very nice Camp Ground. Would stay there again. Not sure if I would stay there during the summer months absolutely no trees no shade. But other than that very nice Camp Ground very spacious. We did not use any of the bath houses. All as it was was electric and water hook up, and you had to drive out the base or out the campground to go to the dump station that was across the highway in like a marina other than that great location seen a lot of things

Very crowed campsite, no privacy at all, very windy most of the time. The dump station is across the street at the dock.

Small sites but nice place to spend a night or two checking out the sand dunes, lighthouse and Wright Brothers Memorial. Friendly staff and clean facilities. Well managed campground!

The location is hard to beat. You are right on the water with beautiful views, steady coastal breezes, and easy access to both the ocean and the inlet. It is one of those places where you can just sit outside, relax, and enjoy the sound of the waves without needing much else.
The campground itself is well maintained and thoughtfully laid out. Sites are spacious enough to feel comfortable, and everything was clean and in good shape. Even with only one bathhouse open during the off season, it was kept clean and we never had to wait long, which says a lot about how well it is managed.
It is also a great spot if you enjoy fishing, walking the shoreline, or just taking in a classic Outer Banks sunset. The overall atmosphere is calm, simple, and exactly what you want from a coastal campground.
All in all, this is a fantastic place for a relaxing getaway. Beautiful setting, well kept facilities, and a great balance of convenience and natural scenery. We will definitely be back.

The sites are relatively tight. The facilities are in good working order. Short walk through the dunes to the ocean. Large beach to enjoy! One restaurant across the street with limited hours. The campground was fine for a short stay and then move on.

Great campground. Excellent, spacious spots with well maintained water and electric service. It can be very windy right next to the ocean, but quiet and beautiful.
