Part of the problem was terrible weather which the campground cannot be responsible for however, preparing campsites so they won't be too susceptible to issues would be the prudent thing to do. The campground was poor at best because of this lack of preparedness for bad weather. They would be okay for dry weather. Our campsite was well below water from the rain received before and during our arrival. Furthermore, the stated length of the site did not fully contain the trailer as the hitch stuck out in the loop road. Adding to the frustration of this campground was that your vehicles could not be parked next to the camper unless it was on the campsite on the same surface of the camper. On top of that, being a non electric site was that we were told that generators could not be used during quiet hours of 10pm-6pm or 11pm-7am.....I don't remember exactly what they said they were. I did not see that anywhere in the online description of the campsite and was not aware of that until checking in. I could deal with that but not to be made aware of that until check in is not good. Now I am sure these would be pretty decent campgrounds under good or ideal weather but how about using some of those millions of dollars we send overseas to just make these campgrounds a little better, liking adding water and electric to all the sites. If I was tent camping then I would expect to be roughing it more but when you are in a Class A or C motorhome or a travel trailer, you do expect a little more. Now this is no fault of the park rangers and the volunteers who were absolutely great. They are dealing with the limitations they have at hand. Good people!

We had a great time at Oregon inlet. Park rangers were very helpful. The animals were quiet and the people were nice.

Great place! Staff was outstanding and the campground was clean and well kept. We camp in a Class C Motorhome with the electric and water hookups. Had a 5G signal on Verizon network. Will be using this campground for my visits to the Outer Banks.

No complaints at all ... the campground is close to Coquina and Pea Island beaches, Fishing is just over the dunes for surf casting, or across NC12 for sound fishing. All the campers were respectful of everyone (nobody playing loud music, fireworks, drinking games and loud conversations) . I had a nice stay while I was there .

Great campground just over the dunes from the ocean. Nice bathrooms. Did not shower so can't speak to how they were. We were in site 21C so was somewhat secluded even though a walking path to the beach was next to our site. The sites by the bathroom had people walking through to get to them as there were no specific "bathroom paths". There was a fishing center across the street with store, restaurant, small bar you could walk to, and between 3-5PM the fishing boats would come in and many people watched to see what big fish were caught that day. Was fun to see!
