Bring a heavy tent and deep stakes for this windy oasis. The showers were warm and the restrooms were clean. I was surprised by the trucks on the beach but surf fishing is popular down there. The staff was efficient and knowledgeable regarding the wildlife and their seasonal habits. Don't feed the gulls !

Beautiful area but sites are pretty close together. Lots and lots of mosquitos as well.

We enjoyed our stay at the Oregon Inlet campground. It's close to all the shops in Kitty Hawk and to Jockey's Ridge State Park, but it's far enough away that it's still secluded and peaceful.

Hard to get reservations when you do not have internet. The number on the sign near the Ranger's station has not been in-service for years. If it wasn't for a Volunteer named "Joe", we would not been able to camp. He was great and kept that campground maintained. Once we got the correct phone number, reserving a site w/o hookups was a breeze by a rep named Adam. Adam also gave us tips for the next time we end up dealing with USPS-lands versus dispersed camping, like we usually do. There is a dump site less than 200 feet south of the park's entrance in a large yachting resort. The last negative comment was about the horse flies. I have NEVER seen the size of those flies before; even in the Middle East and SW Asia (where everywhere has flies bc the places are sh^t-holes). Otherwise the location is great between Hatteras and the northern portions of the OBX when traveling s -> n. Stop and Thank Joe for his services!!

Nice installation, nice volunteer
Nasty and unrespectful guests with noise, fireplace and generator all night long
Rangers came and solve it

Easy check in, the folks working are nice and easy going. Roads and sites are a little tight but we fit our 35’ fifth wheel and truck on the site. The majority of folks are considerate and only ran their generators in the middle of the day, 1 camper three sites down ran it whenever they wanted (including at night and still at 4am when I got up) and no one seemed to say anything to them, . The generator issue is my only negative feedback, otherwise it was a great stay. Be prepared for wind, all day and night, when the wind stops the bugs come out pretty intensely, but you’re on the ocean so what do you expect. Great location for all the OBX things to do, it took us exactly an hour to drive North to get on the beach and drive to Carova, anything else you can think to do is within an hour. We will continue to book here for our OBX trips.
