The camp host was the star of the weekend by helping me correct the mistake I had made in booking so we could stay an extra day. She was very kind and checked in with us often. She made the trip so much better!

This was my 8th memorial day stay to this campground since 2010. Weather is usually amazing which is why I choose that weekend. The bath houses and showers have been well-maintained and even have water bottle refill stations at each bathhouse. The campground doesn't have hot showers but at 4 or 5pm after a sunny day at the beach their showers feel so refreshing! The no-see-ums and mosquitos are usually mild if there's a little wind; I always bring bug spray and a picknick table netting tent just in case but havent needed to deploy it in several years. There is a wide paved path separate from the road for bike rides into town (suggest using both 'see and be seen' lights at night).

Lovely spot among the dunes -- love how the camping spots at Ocracoke are integrated within the trees and bushes of the dunes. The beach is just a short walk over the dunes.

Love the campground but the reservation system doesn't`t work properly. I wanted to book the site for 2 nights and was unable to do so and had to book another site for the second night. This happened to me on my last visit a few weeks before and is frustrating. I miss the days when a human helped with the process.

The campground is great. Just a walk over the dunes to enjoy the beach almost all to yourself. I wish they had warm showers but we knew what we were getting before we went.

Great location just across the dunes from the beach. The sites are large and the pads level. A large camper might have trouble fitting on the pads, but ours fit fine. Warm showers would have made the experience perfect.

Excellent campground. No hot water in showers but may not be a problem obviously in warmer months. I camped in mid May and it was freezing.
