Enjoyed off-season stay although campground was full. Weather cooperated and although swimming was limited, it was very pleasant. A favorite restaurant closed, but found another that was close.

Love this campground. We come for two weeks in the spring and fall. Park rangers are the best! Large spacious sites! Clean bath houses!

We were a little concerned at first we could never find anyone staffing the ranger's office to check in after stopping by several times and always finding it locked, with nobody there. But after talking to a few people, it seemed that was 'normal' in the off season. Our site was marked with our name and check out date when we arrived, so we concluded all was 'fine'.
We had a great time while there. Went out on a half day fishing trip on the Miss Oregon Inlet II, climbed the Bodie Island Lighthouse, and took a day trip to Ocracoke. And we walked the beaches at the campground, as we had a week of beautiful fall weather. (It was a pretty long walk to the beach, but the dunes were quite interesting, and it was good to get some extra exercise each day with a walk to the beach.)
I also liked the warm showers in the small buildings behind the bathrooms. Water was nice and warm, and the fact you had to pull the handle to get the water minimized the amount of wasted hot water. It would be nice if they were lit up at night.
Overall this was a great relaxing place to camp for the week, and we're looking forward to camping there again.

Clean and well maintained campground and facilities. Beautiful, secluded campground with easy access to beach, marina and town of Nags Head.

Great place to stay. Would be nice if more attention to rest rooms occurred.

Love this campsite just wish it would be easier to get electric and water hookup but other than that I'm down here for the fishing and I always have such a great time

Clean campground and rest facilities. I had the opportunity to see deer in the dunes and listened to coyotes howling in the night. Great spot for star gazing, the Milky Way was visible with a 3/4 moon in the sky.
