We stayed in our travel trailer, this is a nice campground in a beautiful setting. Relatively large camp spots. There are no electric hookups, in hot weather I imagine there will be a lot of generators running. The bath house was nice in loop A but was surprised to only see one outdoor shower.
We had heavy rain and some of the sites had standing water. Our site A-13 remained dry.

Close to the beach, nice clean sites with good separation. Bath houses were clean as were the showers. The campground is a short drive or ride on a bike to town. Good selection of activities, restaurants, and a nice grocery store that we found to be very well stocked with any thing you might need.

We had an amazing time at the Ocracoke campground. Our campsite was behind the sand dunes with easy access to the beach. The park staff was Very nice and accommodating. The bathrooms were clean. Our favorite part of the beach was like having a private beach with very few people on the beach. Bonus the beach is Dog friendly. The downtown area restaurants and shops are only a few mile from the campsite. We will definitely visit this island again.

This is the cleanest campground I've been to. The staff and the rangers are always the nicest. I forgot his name but he speaks with a stutter but anyway, I always look forward to seeing him there. He's such a hard worker and very kind and accommodating to everyone.

We were there end April. We really enjoyed our three days at Ocracoke. The campground was great, even though it didn’t provide for hookups. It’s beautiful, remote and the sites are well spaced. Great access to beach over the dunes. Not crowded at all. Town is within biking distance on a separate bike path.

Great access to beach over the dunes. Not crowded at all. Bathrooms kept very clean despite all the sand. Can get noisy on weekends. Town is within biking distance on a separate bike path.
