Beautiful and convenient campground. Could benefit from a little wood partition or bushes between sites for more privacy. Nice rangers!

Our stay at this campsite was absolutely wonderful! Everything was super clean, the facilities were spotless, especially the toilets — honestly, the cleanest we’ve seen. The whole place felt really well taken care of, and the vibe was just perfect. We loved every minute of it and will definitely try to come back again. Highly recommend!

For visiting the Outer Banks area, this campsite is well situated for traveling north & south, as well as accessing the beach. A short drive to a dump/water station, away from the beach, should be expected. Nice night skies! Friendly staff with helpful hints for sightseeing too!

OI would really benefit from adding more campsites and more W&E hook-ups. It can be rough to shower in the open air showers. Wifi at the office is a great feature, especially for campers who travel for extended periods.

My original reservation was for two nights, but after arriving I knew I wanted to stay longer.
Great campground right behind the dunes on the beach. Some sites have power and water hookups. Restrooms are clean and there are showers.
Concessions and restaurant with tackle store and gas station are just down the road.
Bodie lighthouse is just two miles away.
Being in the middle of the islands, it is a great place to explore in either direction to Ocracoke or up to Kitty Hawk and Corolla.
Would stay here again

Favorite campground on the Nat’l Seashore. Love camping close to the dunes and hearing the ocean at night. Bathroom/shower facilities are clean and easily accessible.

Great site. There's a dune next to the site on one side that gives shade later in the day.

The sites are spacious with green space behind the sites. Each loop’s bathhouse is conveniently located for access to the campsites. The only drawback is the narrow road makes it challenging to back a camper into some sites. It would also be nice to have a dump station somewhere within the campground as opposed to across the road at the marina.
