You might as well call the showers here “primitive”. I mean no full doors from outside and pour a bucket of cold water over your head! No hooks for towels, no bench! Really needs to be UPDATED!!!

Campground was quiet (you could hear the ocean as a constant background "white noise". Our site wasn't perfectly level, but not difficult to level the trailer. If it wasn't for the propane fridge I probably wouldn't have bothered leveling. The campground is convenient to the Bonner Bridge pier and the Wright Brother's memorial. The drive to Ocracoke is enjoyable. At night you could see the light from the Bodie Lighthouse. Staff were friendly. The showers and bathhouse were clean.
Only criticism is I'm not a fan of the open shower design. The showers could use some additional hooks placed high enough so that your things don't get wet while showering (and maybe a shelf). A plus is that the hot water felt great when showering on a cold, windy night.

Excellent location with great views. Very windy. Rangers were very friendly and helpful. Campground host could use a lesson in hospitality. Otherwise, a great spot.
