Until there is hoop-ups in particular electricity this will be a second class campground.

The cool showers are OK. That makes sure people don't stay in too long and hog the facilities.

I have been camping at Ocracoke for decades. Loop D has always been generator free. What happened to change that? It is causing conflict between tent campers and those in giant RVs with generators that loudly run and drown out the nature.
I made a reservation in May and had to accept the disclaimer saying loop d was generator free. I go camping in September and everyone is running generators.
Loops a, b and c allow generators. Why are you taking away loop d from the tent campers who want peace and quiet?
I saw first hand conflicts arrive because of this.

My rating should be poor because you took away the no generators on the D loop!!! Fortunately by chance no one has been using one near me but that could change in an instant. The campsites are too close to not have this rule!!! If not, just ban all generators in the entire campground!!!!
