Ocracoke Campground

The bathroom near loop d ran out of TP for 2 days at least and the other one near loop B was closed with a sign saying to use the other loop facility

We were at D15, nice spot that is very private. Great place to camp!

D7 site was in a great location - sand path behind site led over the dunes to the beach and the site was across the road from the bathroom. Super convenient for our family. Water spigot, we used to collect dishwater, next to bathroom. Heads up there are sand burs and creeping cactus around the site - we learned this the hard way, setting up camp at night ;)

Nice clean and quiet campground

Easily our favorite campground on the Outer Banks of NC. Hard to get to, worth the effort. Every single time. Bring your solar panels and plug into the sun for endless electricity!

D11 feels private with brush on either side and a cool path over the dunes to the ocean. Camp attendant makes frequent rounds and it feels very safe. Love staying here throughout the year.

I stayed at Ocracoke Campground during a recent trip, and it was exactly what I was hoping for. My site was essentially beachfront-just a short hike over the dunes and you’re right on the ocean. There’s something pretty great about climbing a dune in the morning and having the beach open up in front of you.

One of the biggest perks was the ORV access right next to the campground. I was able to drive my vehicle straight onto the beach, which made the whole experience even better.

Timing helped too as it was still on the cooler side, so the bugs were basically a non-issue. If you’ve ever camped on the coast in peak season, you know that’s a huge win.

Facilities are fairly minimal, but what’s there is well maintained. The bathrooms were clean, well lit, and in good shape. There are cold water showers (I passed on those, but maybe next time if I’m feeling brave). Each site had a picnic table and a solid parking pad, which made setup easy.

My only real wish is that they’d add a dishwashing sink as it would go a long way for campers staying multiple nights.

Overall, it’s a simple, no-frills campground in an unbeatable location. I’ll definitely be back.

Loved being on the island. Short walk through the dunes to the ocean. Only thing to improve would be a warm shower. Didn’t like taking a cold shower.

Enjoy off grid camping. Bring solar panels for power so you won't run a noisy generator. Clean restrooms. Nice outdoor showers in warm weather.

Great site and amenities.
