We spent 9 days at the campground and it has some of the cleanest bathrooms and showers I have ever seen. You can walk or drive to the beach. Make sure you bring bug spray midges are terrible.

We popped down for a quick weekend. The campground is always nice, The bathhouses are clean and the outdoor showers are refreshing. Close to the 4wd beach. Only complaint this year were the insane amount of mosquitos.

We picked a fantastic campsite! Loved the open view looking towards the dune and seeing the moon rise each night. The location of the campground is nice, it's not on the main drag so it feels pretty remote. The new marina is VERY nice, stocked with most things you'll need. Very convenient to have the dump out station set up with gas pumps too! Having water and electric is a huge plus too! The campground was quiet, bathrooms mostly clean (a bit dated), and the outdoor showers were great! I love the breeze blowing in the shower stall, just adds to the beachy feel. We will definitely be back, and will try the off season.

The whole camp ground was great! We were walking distance to the beach which was nice. The bathrooms were clean but the showers could use a trashcan or like a lost and found bucket nearby as alot of people seemed to leave personal items behind. The staff were amazing and kind and courteous. Overall our experience was fantastic! We would reccomend this place 10 out of 10!

I use Oregon Inlet campground as a base of operations for wildlife photography in the area, such as Alligator River NWR and Pungo Unit.

Do NOT reserve A3. We had a reservation there later in the week (we were staying in A9-which is a nice site). A3 looks nothing like the picture. You can barely fit a 2 person tent.
