Ocracoke Campground

The grounds were much improved over years this year. Bathrooms were much cleaner than the last several years. Enjoyed the 200 years celebration of the lighthouse.

Besides having a nor’easter a terrifying thunderstorm and a minor flood
It couldn’t have been worse
But as always we will be back
Love it

Well my overall experience could have been better, but only because the weather was terrible.

The weather did us in. Tent poles broke under high winds and shredded the fly. Left 24 hours after we go there.

We'll be back next year!

Ocracoke is a beautiful and well-tended campground. It has one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

Great location right next to the beach. The water and dump station is convenient and decently equipped. It would be a great improvement if electricity were run to the RV sites. During our stay it was cool, quite windy, and we got a fair amount of rain which swamped some of the sites. Not an issue with the park, but the weather outlook is something to consider when planning to stay here. We booked three months out and went despite the weather outlook. A lot of people did cancel when the weather outlook became clear. Campground went from "sold out" three months ago to less than 25% occupancy.

Spring at the beach. Low 70's, a good breeze, so very few mosquitos. Felt great in RV with all windows open. Enjoyed some good star gazing on a clear night, at this relatively dark sky location. My stay at Ocracoke was great. I did notice that the side of the campground farthest from the dune, had some water ponding in some of the campsites. I was on dune side, so it wasn't an issue. I'll be sure to reserve close to dune next time too. Highly recommend for spring or fall camping.

This campground is terrific. It feels remote, but is only 4 mi from the town area with lots of restaurants and shops. Sites are spaced out. Great experience.

Ok, so if you’re a tent camper beware that many (most) of the sites are open field type sites. Perfect fine for some, but for those seeking privacy take your time when choosing. Loop D is great since it is free of generator noise. Great national park campground overall. Short walk to stunning beach from every site, the bathrooms were cleaned thoroughly daily, and the showers tho cold were perfectly suitable for a quick shower. Under ten mins to the south puts you in Ocrakoke village and all that it has to offer (the variety store has everything a camper could need) as well as the ferries to Cedar Island and swan quarter, while ten mins to the north is the free hourly ferry to/from Hatteras.
Things to know; no fires, the sand fleas on the beach will maul you especially your ankles and exposed top of your butt if you’re in a beach chair if you don’t use deet, and the mosquitoes will do their best imitation of being vampires at your site. Deet, screens, and after-bite will be your friend. Enjoy!

The campground is great, fantastic beach, site not to close to each other and différent angles so easy to find a site with a good view (other than the back of another RV). The site for reservation is easy to use and very practical. The little town of Ocracoke is fun to walk around and lots of restaurants to enjoy.
