The location is great for sightseeing from Kitty Hawk to Cape Hatteras. Great access to a beautiful beach but the walk over the dunes can be strenuous for anyone with hip or knee issues. Campsites are short and narrow with tight navigation through the loop due to vehicles parked up to the road. All traffic for both B and C loops circulates through B and many people do not observe the speed limit. Rules state no parking on the grass but it is not enforced. We saw the camp host vehicle parked on the grass and several towed cars parked fully on the grass beside the class A. The restroom and showers for B loop are located in the center of the loop but does not have sidewalks to the facilities so people walk through the adjacent sites to get there so, if that would bother you, choose sites on the outside of the loop. There appeared to be a cell tower within sight, signal was only 2 bars so it may have been radio communications only, associated with the Coast Guard station across the highway.

Stayed at site B22 6/13-6/21. Weather was great the whole week with temperatures that were cool in the evening with 10 MPH breeze. Drove South to visit Ocracoke Island and took the Ferry. Note: the Ferry is about 90 minutes each way.

Small site, very close to next sites. Close to hwy 12 and road noise. Good view of Dumpster fire when I was there. Bathrooms were reasonably clean considering the crowd. Wind did not get above 30 mph this time. Never saw anyone at check in.

The campground is tight. There are campers in the RV section with very little space between them. One person ran their generator on a timer from 6 AM to 10 PM, even though they were not there for 2 of the 3 days we stayed. Sandspurs and cacti abound, and if you don't know the site well, you will likely end up with nearly no space for kids to play as there is little grass. The facilities were okay, not disgusting, but not clean. The camp hosts showed "not on duty" the entire time we stayed, so no help there. The beach is nearby, so I suppose that's something, but if you are looking for some quiet and space to enjoy yourself, look else where.

Great location just over the dunes! The only con was that the camping pad location was in a slight depression in the sand. Super cute, but it does restrict some airflow- a necessity on those hot nights!
