We're big fans of this campground and the natural beach environment that surrounds it. The Park rangers are kind and helpful and the bathrooms/showers although rustic were kept quite clean. We took advantage of the new tire/air station across the street after a nice drive on the beach. Thanks for a fun stay Oregon Inlet.

Nice campground , with access to the beach. Water and electric was a plus as were flush toilets and hot showers. We were also close to stores, gas stations and restaurants. The only drawback wa the lack of a decent laundromat in any of the surrounding towns. We would certainly visit again, especially in mid spring.

The only thing we have to pick on is the lack of a handicap walkway to the beach , walking through the sand is very difficult for people with disabilities and/or older folks

Stayed at Oregon. Inlet for a week. Good sites, clean restrooms. The warm water showers were better than expected. Great location by the beach and away from the built up areas on OBX.

We had a very relaxing stay at Oregon Inlet , the proximity to the drive on beach was perfect, the campground was very clean , lawns were cut and maintained. The dumpstation across the street and Air station for refilling the tires for the beach was very convenient and well maintained. The outer banks is a great area and having access to camp on it makes it even better!

Staff are very good. They keep the campground clean and orderly, and are very helpful.
Campground is in great shape. It's the beach, so expect sand.
Short walk over the dunes to the ocean.
Good fishing. Warm showers. What more could you ask for?

Great central location for Outer Banks.
Dump is across the road (signage needs improvement).
