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.

The location is fantastic! The campsite is well-maintained and the amenities are perfect given the proximity to the beach. I'll be reservations for next year. The village of Ocracoke is also quite special!

Always a 5 star rating for the Ocracoke state campground. Would be awesome if they ran power in the a,b & c section like there has been rumors for several years now. Been going there for 38 years now. Love it.

Great open spacious spot, very breezy. Close to bathroom but without any unpleasant smell or noise. AT&T would have signal but unfortunately, mint doesn't.
