So much to see & do in the OBX - make sure you give yourself enough time. Oregon Inlet is a great middle location to see everything.

Nice campground. Convenient to the beach and sites in the Outer Banks. Sites are large enough but not real spread out. Be prepared for pretty much constant wind.

Beautiful peaceful campground with many sites having water and electricity. Unfortunately the dump station nearby was closed for our stay and the nearest place to dump was about 10 miles away but I believe it’s open again now. Best part was our lovely hosts, Dylan and Megan. It was refreshing to have young people doing that job. They were friendly and delightful as well as knowledgeable and kept the place tidy and clean.

Beautiful campground, well maintained, right on the beach, quiet. Next time I’d choose a site not next to a trail as the trail is just a few feet wide which lends to certain other campers allowing their dogs relieve themselves feet from our camper door, under our picnic table etc.
