Great site and proximity to the beach! It was clean and the showers had very warm water. If youβre outside after dark with no wind, prepare for a buggy onslaught! But I canβt take away a star for that. Itβs nature!

Great place to camp. Beach all up and down. Be prepared when walking to beach. Dunes are fairly steep. Want to drive on beach. Get a permit and have at it. Showers were hot and outdoorsy but nice. We were evacuated as Erin washed waves ashore. Camping!

We love that this is right on the beach. The sites are flat, and if you use the showers, they are great for outdoor showers.

We enjoyed so many things about that park. The Ranger at the welcome office was cordial and easy to work with. Bathroom for a very clean and updated.

The facilities are not meant for showering just basic bathroom, cold water. The spike ball grass burrs are a massive annoyance they're everywhere and stick to everything including you and your pet, your camping equipment, towels, etc and they hurt. So be aware that this is not for glamping. The weather was brutally hot & humid and thunderstorms dumped bucketloads for hours. Not the best outing for sure, glad to be back in New England. This OBX location probably best visited if you have A/C and hot water in an RV. Its located just before the Oregon Inlet bridge however and access to Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo not far and shopping, food, supplies in Nags Head close by. I lived in NC for 8 yrs so I knew the spot well just never camped there before.
