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.

The place isn’t bad definitely and the people working there were friendly and pretty hands off which is nice when you’re just trying to chill. The sites are all pretty close together so if you’re thinking of camping here to escape people you won’t unless you go during a time almost nobody else is.

I would make sure to check what bath houses are open when you are there in the off season and then plan accordingly.

Very good off-season experience! We have stayed on the OBX many times, but this was our first OBX camping adventure. Know that it is ALWAYS windy, so tent camping could be a challenge. We had one night of gale force winds while we were there. The campground is wide open, particularly loops B & C. While you can hear the ocean from the campground, it's a walk or drive over the dunes to get to the beach. The bathrooms in loop A & B were open, C was closed. All of the showers were closed at the time of our visit. The bathrooms were very clean and warm! There is a low to moderate amount of road noise from Rt 12.

I really enjoyed the campsite! I loved how close it was to the ocean and the amenities were nice. I wish check-in instructions were clearer as I was unsure what exactly I was supposed to do when I got there. Campsite was kept very clean and everyone there was respectful. Employee that night was very sweet. I went to the surfin spoon and had some great froyo. On my way back to Raleigh I stopped by alligator river and Pocosin lakes wildlife Refuges. Both are beautiful spots. I also stopped at the aquarium on Roanoke Island.

Only some of the bathrooms were unlocked and the stalls had no toilet paper for two days while we were there. Didn’t see the camp host and their camper had an off duty sign on it the whole time.
There was a sign saying that the dumpsitw would re-open on Feb 9th which was clearly on the past and was nowhere near ready to reopen.
Overall disappointing compared to our last visit.
