Site was nice. We have a big tent, which this site was not ideal for. A little more wild and well preserved than our neighbors.

Restrooms were very clean and the sites are also. Nice and peaceful. Showers are cold but I didn’t use them being I was in a camper.

The campground was amazing! Despite no electric or water, this was by far my favorite part of the trip to the Outerbanks. Make sure your fresh water tank is full and you have a generator. The bathrooms were very clean. We were able to walk over the dunes and get right to the ocean. We went to town and rented a golf cart and drove around. It was fun even though it was the beginning of December and not much was open. We will definitely be going again.

This is a beautiful campground in a very special place. Kudos to the NPS (and all of us taxpayers) for protecting the Ocracoke Island National Seashore. The access to the spectacular beach is excellent and the facilities at the campground are great. Shout out also to the campground host (Lynn Ingram) when I was there - she was very helpful and a great fellow road tripper to meet.

We had such a great time at the campground, spots were a lot bigger than advertised. The camp hosts were absolutely fantastic and we will be coming back again!!!

Site 3 was the best! As this was my first visit to Ocracoke, I chose the site based on the campground map. The cold wind that blew most of the second night was blocked somewhat by the vegetation adjacent to the spot where I chose to pitch my backpacking tent. The sound of rain, wind, and the crashing surf made for a restful night. The campground was nearly empty and I had the entire beach to myself. Walked into the village on my last day on the island and it was equally uncrowded. Love the off-season!

The campground was beautiful, the hosts were very friendly and helpful. However, with the very limited water and bathroom facilities, maybe a discounted winter, off season fee would be more appropriate
