Bathrooms were always clean and campers friendly as usual. Quite a hike to get to the beach so be don’t pack too much! Beautiful location.

Campground was in a spectacular location. Lots of paths leading directly to the beach. Bathrooms and showers were easily accessible from any point in the campground. The outdoor shower was a really unique experience. I was pleasantly surprised at how hot the water was. To be honest, it was one of the best showers I have had at a campground. Make sure to take time to visit Bodie Lighthouse and have dinner in Nags Head at "Mulligans".

This is not the fault of the camp ground. We had a terrible experience as the sites are very exposed and some wild weather moved through. Our tents could not handle the strong winds that blew though, and there is no place for shelter.

Great beach access, not far from Ocracoke Village, clean bathrooms, but only cold water for showers. It was raining (heavy rain) during our visit, and there was high water on Pea Island that delayed our travel to the campground. We still had a nice time and took shelter in the places to visit in the village like the visitor center, the Lighthouse, an ice cream store & a restaurant!
