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.

Beach was just over the dunes. Was blustery and cool for our first night but warmed the next day. Cell service was pretty good. Showers were outdoor shower enclosures next to the restrooms. Really convenient location to enjoy beach, see lighthouses, Wright Bros. Memorial and other local fun stuff.

We stayed at site 11-A. It was on the ocean side of the park. It was a 5 min walk up the dunes to the beach. The showers/bathrooms were across the street about 2 min walk. I was expecting a cold shower, but the water was warm! Bring bug spray, they came out at sunset and in the early morning. And make sure you wear shoes at the site. There are sand spurs. We stayed end of May. Would 10/10 go back!

Good location across from Oregon Inlet Fishing Center. There is a crosswalk but no sidewalk along Rte.12 - very dangerous. Should be better/safer pedestrian route from campground to fishing center.
