A special place for family time.

The area was absolutely beautiful. The mosquitoes were unbearable along with small bugs that could go through tent netting. Campsites are way too close to one another, barely a place for your tent and to park your vehicle. Showers are outdoors and awkward. There is a front office that never has anyone in it. I would not recommend this campground to anyone that likes camping.

This is a fantastic campground. Friendly staff (the volunteer who mows the sites has a wealth of fishing knowledge about the area), and a nice clean bathhouse. You can take a short hike over the dune for beach access or lower the pressure in your 4x4 and drive on the beach.

Site was very small. Sand Spurs where plentiful. Hot and windy during the day (10 degrees hotter than the weather app) The wind would stop at night and was stay inside buggy. Came home two days early and got a partial refund.

I recently stayed at Oregon Inlet Campground and had a wonderful experience. The sites are well‑maintained, and close to the beach, making it easy to enjoy the ocean breeze. The restrooms were clean and well‑kept throughout our stay, which made camping comfortable for everyone. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful. Highly recommend this campground for families and anyone looking for a relaxing coastal getaway.

Always a great campground! Showers and bathrooms are always clean and taken care of! Some bigger groups like to monopolize the showers but you’ll have that, not everyone is respectful!! Always such an amazing experience to spend time here!!✌🏻🕉️🙏🏻☮️

Easy access off Highway 12 with both sound and ocean sides close by. Restrooms and showers were clean. Camping spots were spaced well enough apart from other guests. Plenty of activities available near by like a bike path, aquarium, Lost Colony, paddle boarding, lighthouse, etc. Minutes driving to grocery, restaurants, retain, and local entertainment like mini golfing. Unfortunately I was caught in a lead-up to a major storm and the exposure to wind caved in my tent so I wasn't able to enjoy my full stay - but I'm excited about planning my next visit!
