Beautiful campground, a close walk to the beach, dark sky at night. About three miles from town and there's a bike path as well as a paved road. Good restaurants, a great coffee shop, a unique destination.

I am leery of writing a positive review because then Ocracoke Campground will be overrun, overbooked, and over for me. There are three reasons to come to Ocracoke. 1) You are from there or have family there 2) you are a fisherman 3) you want to peace and privacy on a sparsely populated barrier island. Ocracoke Campground is superbly maintained and definitely facilitates numbers 2 and 3 above.

One of my main critiques is if the site is level and ours was. Access was easy and the location close to the water enable us to get magnificent views and pictures of the sunrise.

I think this is the best campsite of them all for space, shade, beach access, and privacy. The weather was unusually great. We came in the beginning of November and the mosquitos were still out in droves at dusk. Insect repellant only sort-of worked - we used Deep Woods Off. The dampness was another consideration. It was as if it was raining. Cell phone reception was good with Verizon.

Really nice campground with outdoor and enclosed showers, clean restrooms, friendly hosts, and a great bike path into town. We had perfect weather and sunny October beach days. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!

the camp grounds was well maintained staff was very help full over all it was a pleasant time but i forgot what it was like to camp with no hookups next time i will plan a little better its just my opinion from camping there in the late 80s they need to remove a lot of the brush to open up the looks of the camp grounds

I camped in a tent. It tends to be windy there with sandy soil. If tent camping , bring tent stakes that will hold against strong winds. Be sure to visit Springer Point at the village of Ocracoke for a nice short hike through a coastal forest to a pretty beach on the sound.
