Oregon Inlet Campground is praised for its beautiful location and proximity to the beach, with clean facilities and friendly staff. Many visitors enjoyed the hot showers and overall cleanliness of the campground. However, some noted issues with small, closely spaced campsites, biting insects, and occasional flooding, particularly after heavy rain.

Absolutely loved this campground. Amenities were much better than expected. Super close to the beach, but if you don’t plan on driving your vehicle to it, expect to walk a bit in the dunes! Beautiful spot overall.

The same time I made my camping reservation I requested a permit to allow us to drive on the beach. The recreation.gov person did not know what that was and told me to contact Oregon Inlet directly. I called. They said all permits had to be purchased through recreation.gov. I called recreation.gov hoping to get someone who knew how to sell me the permit this time. I hung up after being on hold for over 30 minutes. I still did not have permit when arriving at the campground.

Oregon Inlet is such a fantastic campground! It’s peaceful, quiet, and offers amazing beach access. The bathrooms and showers are consistently spotless. Plus, it’s in a perfect location—close enough to grocery stores and local attractions when you need them, but far enough away to truly unwind and enjoy nature.
