Beautiful winter camping spot! It was just a short, pleasant walk through the dunes to the shoreline. As a solo female camper I felt very safe. It was just me and my dog in my camper van. The handful of fellow campers I encountered were friendly. The sites are pretty close together, so I don't think this would be my vibe anywhere near peak season however. The amazing sunrises and sunsets, phenomenal stargazing, and lack of crowds make it a great winter camping spot in my book though.

Easy to find; clean campsite and bathrooms; quiet and restful through the night; 5 minute walk to the beach to watch the sun rise...

Gorgeous campground and area. Jockey’s Ridge State Park was my favorite biome. A campground worth preserving and experiencing.
