The sites are spacious with green space behind the sites. Each loop’s bathhouse is conveniently located for access to the campsites. The only drawback is the narrow road makes it challenging to back a camper into some sites. It would also be nice to have a dump station somewhere within the campground as opposed to across the road at the marina.

Great place to camp while on the Outer Banks. Right in the middle of everything, but feels remote.

It could have been better it the showers and restroom in C Loop were open, (they were closed). Looking forward to my next visit.

If you love the ocean and wind, this is an amazing campground. Roads are narrow and campsites and shorter but it's definitely worth it if you fit. No shade but that was great for me - I got full sun for my solar. And I was there end of March beginning of April so perfect spring weather 50s 60s. Absolutely would camp here again. There's a marina across the street with a gift shop and restaurant, dump station, potable water, gas, etc.

I really like it there. A great experience and with my senior pass, I get it for half price. I had an electric and water site.

I’m usually more of a forest than a beach person because beaches are always overcrowded and Oregon Inlet was no different. I reserved 3 days but left a day early. It was so jam packed and the sites were so close together there was no privacy at all. The beach views are nice after climbing over the dunes, but this place was just too crowded for me. Good location and good price, I just prefer a little peace and privacy while camping and I didn’t find those things at Oregon Inlet.

We had an excellent spot (B18). It was near the bathroom and a beach access path. Stay on the paths to avoid stickers and cacti. Close enough to the northern OBX activities. T-Mobile cell service was good enough that we could watch a basketball game.
