I use this facility when I'm photographing the national wildlife reserves nearby. For a senior with a pass, it's the cheapest campground in the area. I like it.

This is our second trip to Oregon Inlet campground. We really like it. We were there in November and enjoyed seeing thousands of birds both on the beach and in the nearby Pea Island NWR. Facilities were clean and in good condition.

Have used this campground multiple times while in the area. It's close to the places I needed to be, and had decent restrooms and campsites. Would stay here again.

Love the site. Close to beach. Only reason not 5 star is because there is alot of road noise. Road noise gets better the later in the evening it gets.

Quiet location with access to the beach over the dunes. Near to all the shops and restaurants but feels a world away. Caution, burrs abound and get in the dog's paws if you walk them off the pavement

We don't have much to compare this to, but we really enjoyed our stay and will be going back. We love the open access and the ability to check in late. The bathrooms are dated but clean. We had no issues. No noisy neighbors or anything negative. The beach access for 4x4 is great. We can't wait to go back and try the other campgrounds too.
