We love this park. However at this visit we were very upset at the level of support or caring about the broken dump station. They never updated us on the status even though I gave the ranger my site and phone number. The answer to our issue with a full portable tank was take it 19 miles down the road or put the waste back in our camper! Both remarks were insults to intelligence as neither are possible. Fortunately the station reopened the next day not in the week they put out on a sign. It would have been nice to be told that not find it out when I saw a camper and his tank. Poor management can ruin a campground. Hope they will be better next time.

Oregon Inlet Campground have added more electric/water sites to their existing campground. Great job. Staff is very helpful. Great new Oregon Inlet Marine with gas pumps and air pumps. Also a great Café.

Beautiful campground in a great location. Sites are sufficiently spaced, and the beach was the best we visited in the outer banks. Oregon Fishing Center is right across the street, with well-stocked shop, nice restaurant, fishing supplies and lots of fishing charters, dolphin cruises, etc.

Quiet and well maintenance campground. The staff is very friendly. There are some mosquitoes, but they tend to only come out in the afternoon.
