Need to communicate and monitor generator use and hours more closely. Seems like people are confused when making reservations l that section D is non-generator at all times. Many value quiet when camping.

The Park Service Rangers and staff are doing an excellent job maintaining the campground despite being short of, what was already not enough, staff and funding due to recent cuts. Thanks to them for their dedication.

The best camping on the Outer Banks. The ferry was easy. The island of Ocracoke was beautiful, quiet and welcoming. Campsites were spacious and clean, the facilities were simple, clean and more than adequate.
