Great campground. We stayed in the loop for tents, just a short walk over the dunes to the beach. Would be very hot in the summer (no shade), but pleasant in the fall. Be aware - Ocracoke is very buggy away from the beach!

The location is wonderful. it's peaceful and far from overly crowded. It was worth the additional distance I had to drive to get there.
On the other hand, I had trouble with the solar array that is the sole source of recharging the lithium batteries that provide electricity to the "house" portion of the RV. The owner's Manuel said I might be able to solve the problem by hooking up to shore power for a few moments. I was unable to find our use any place on the campground what would permit even a few moments use of shore based electricity. I left a day early as a result.

Wonderful being that close to the beach, but our campsite was under water except for the cement pad. Fortunately, we have a van so there was enough room for us to stay on the cement pad when we were out of the van. Nothing anyone could do about the flooding, but wouldn't have worked at all for people with a tent or large camper. Some warning would have been helpful. Cold showers weren't as bad as we'd feared they would be, but hot water would be a lot better. Some plug-in spots would be good too, and a potable water filling station at the dump site. But still a wonderful experience.

I really enjoy every time I come to your campground, and I come quite often. Even as it is primitive I make do and enjoy all beauties of the beaches and surroundings.
I do have one complaint and really, I am a pet lover so please understand. A barking dog and the last visit there were two barking dogs that constantly barked right across from my camp site. I come for relaxing time and not distractions. Maybe a section of the campground for barking animals or just leave them at a pet hotel somewhere.
I try to be a Great Person and keep smiling and try not to make waves with my neighbors.
I will keep coming to your campground and enjoying!!
