The walk to the beach through the dunes was awesome. Be sure to pack bug spray that repels the biting flies also.

The campground, facilities and beach were awsome. Making and modifying reservations with the app and live agents on the phone was excellent and the hold time was minimal. Also had a fantastic experience at Frisco Campground and Ocracoke Campground. I appreciate that there is not any extra fee for making reservations or changing them, unlike the State Parks who use a third party service with outrageous hold times.

Campground and restrooms were nice and clean, staff was amazing and went out of their way to fix a minor issue I had. Will definitely stay again.

Oregon Inlet campground is perfectly sited to enable you to take advantage of outdoor sports (like kayaking) and indoor activities (Wright Brothers Memorial). It is only a short drive up to the restaurants in Nags Head. Kayaking in the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge is one of my favorite activities

First time visitor. Beautiful campground with clean restrooms and showers. Sites are fairly close, but I did not mind. Bring extra stakes for the windy days.

Overall this is a great camp site right next to the ocean. The one disadvantage is that they allow the use of generators from 6am to 10pm everyday. There is nothing like waking up to the sound of a very noisy generator. While we were buffered to some extent by the noise in our RV. There were campers in tents right next to some sites running them.
At a bare minimum it would be nice to limit the use say 10am to 4pm.

Please move the dump station to the campground— away from the congested parking lot where the new restaurant & the fishing excursion boat parking is making it dangerous to maneuver an RV to the dump. An accident is ready to happen!

Good campground, but absolutely no shade. The scenic bypass is very close and with the wind coming from this direction there was constant traffic noise. Nice walking access to the beach.

Had a great time! The walk to the beach from the campsite is long, yes, but i like the exercise. I got plenty of bug bites, sure, but it was my first time car camping at the Oregon Inlet Campground and i’ll be sure the bring a bug net or something next time
