A lovely spot beautiful dunes, great beach access, close to fishing, hiking kayaking or just plain relaxing. Our RV has a beautiful picture window in front. We backed in and there is no view there. I wish we thought of that. When the weather gets cooler or warmer consider your view.

Had a nice 9 day stay, some nice warm days for the season a a couple chilly ones. Had one night of some pretty bad wind, not much to break the wind at this campground. Overall a nice stay.....

Great NPS campground, right next to the dunes on the beach, very clean and well kept. The restrooms were clean, but no hot water. Didn't use the showers, as they are in a separate, open structure and it was quite cool during our three night stay in late Nov. There are plenty of things to see and do nearby, even during the cooler months; Wright Brothers National Memorial, Hatteras, Bodie Island lighthouse, Fort Raleigh and the waterfront town of Manteo, as well as plenty of restaurants and shops. We plan on returning during warmer weather for more OBX experience.
