Best campground so far this year. Will come again. Only downside is the ferry ride but even then it's a nice break from driving.

Ocracoke is spacious, breezy, and has simple amenities that make the camping experience comfortable but also not too fancy. I really enjoy staying at this campsite year over year.

There is no longer a designated area for tenting which means there are campers with generators allowed throughout the campsite. The noise is terrible.

We love the NPS campground on Ocracoke so much that we have been there coming for 19 years.
It is rustic with cold showers only and no electricity or wifi signal, which makes it perfect for anyone who wants to be disconnected from all electronics and social networks and to be reconnected with nature.
It is a unique pristine but fragile environment; we love sleeping at night with just the sound of the waves crashing on the other side of the dunes.

Need to communicate and monitor generator use and hours more closely. Seems like people are confused when making reservations l that section D is non-generator at all times. Many value quiet when camping.
