Campsites were flooded due to heavy rain. Walkways to the restrooms were flooded. Mosquitoes were brutal with so much standing water. This campground needs major upgrades, narrow roads, lots of potholes, and sites are too small for modern RVs making it almost impossible to back a travel trailer onto its pad (vehicles directly across from your site make it very difficult to maneuver). Groundskeeper cut wet grass and blew clippings into our sitting area which we ended up tracking inside our camper. Most of the showers were missing their tray bottoms, so no place to put soap and shampoo while showering (loved the hot water, though!). The dump station across the street accommodates two vehicles, but there is only one sewer drain. We’ve been coming here for years due to its excellent location (drive to Coquina Beach for a great beach experience, the beach adjacent to the campground is drive-on and is full of vehicles and fishermen), but this time was the worst visit for us with flood water everywhere! The only good things I can say are the bathrooms were clean (once you sloshed through the water to use them), and the staff was friendly. Also, one of the staff told me that the campground requested upgrades from the NPS, but the current administration cut funding.

Great beach access, not far from Ocracoke Village, clean bathrooms, but only cold water for showers. It was raining (heavy rain) during our visit, and there was high water on Pea Island that delayed our travel to the campground. We still had a nice time and took shelter in the places to visit in the village like the visitor center, the Lighthouse, an ice cream store & a restaurant!

Great campground, especially with electric and water hookups. Right on the beach. Vehicle access is right beside the camptround.

Bathrooms were always clean and campers friendly as usual. Quite a hike to get to the beach so be don’t pack too much! Beautiful location.

Campground was in a spectacular location. Lots of paths leading directly to the beach. Bathrooms and showers were easily accessible from any point in the campground. The outdoor shower was a really unique experience. I was pleasantly surprised at how hot the water was. To be honest, it was one of the best showers I have had at a campground. Make sure to take time to visit Bodie Lighthouse and have dinner in Nags Head at "Mulligans".

This is not the fault of the camp ground. We had a terrible experience as the sites are very exposed and some wild weather moved through. Our tents could not handle the strong winds that blew though, and there is no place for shelter.

Great campground. I wouldn't recommend this site. Other campers were constantly walking through our site.
