Nice campground with water and electric. Nice sites. Windy. Cell service is very good. Newly remodeled dump station at Marina nearby. Wish access to beach was easier. Overall good campground. Recommended

This campground is a hidden gem! Right on the Outer Banks with clean campsites, flush toilets, hot showers, and most importantly right on the ocean! We will certainly be making another trip to this location!

Staying at Oregon Inlet is always an enjoyable experience. The facilities are well maintained and the oceanfront landscape is unparalleled. I only wish that the generator usage policy (which is all times outside of quiet hours of 10 pm to 6 am) was amended to discourage loud and continuous generator use during all other hours. That was the situation we encountered for at least 4 of the 6 days we were staying at the campground.

Nice, clean camp ground. Well groomed. Drive way good. Picnic table in good shape. Hook ups good. Only problem is lack of shade from sun.

Absolutely fantastic campsite where you feel in the wild only 15 min from Nags Head and Rodanthe. It's a good base camp for trips to Hatteras (1 hr), Roanoke Island (20 min), and up to Nags Head and Kittyhawk (20 min)
The sites are nestled in sand dunes, but there are no trees or shelter. Also, you need to watch out for the sand spurs anytime you're not on sand (watch out for the pups especially). The trail to the beach is a bit of a walk, but it's a very beautiful one. The road is nearby, so you do have some sound pollution at night, but there is very limited light pollution, causing a beautifully bright display at night. The bathroom and shower facilities are clean and updated (plus the outdoor shower has nice warm water).
