Beautiful location but watch out for mice. I had them all over my site.

Be prepared to visit the nicest beach of the east coast. Nothing negative except ugly generator noises.

Great campground overall if you want deserted beach experience. No hotels or buildings. We could see the Milky Way several nights. The bugs were not bad this trip. The weather was also lovely. And though there were many campers, you couldn’t really hear the generators. This was a great week to go because not too many loud families were there yet. I’ve been coming here four years and it’s such a magical place.

We messed up by not reserving the correct days and could not update our stay
If it was not for NCFerry we would have to stayed at Ocracoke in our car in a parking lot some where
There is a need for live people to talk to you when you need assistance on the island
We may come back

Everything’s good but you should think to turn some sites electric!

Our stay was overall a grade B-. We invested in the quietest generator on the market to run our A/C but we were required to shut it off at 10pm. We knew this going in but if they were to implement a decibel level ceiling for generators, that’d be great. It was around 74 degrees at night with no breeze, we baked in our Airstream. Or, better yet, install some electric if it’s gotta be quiet at night. Bring bug spray, again, we knew this coming in, just passing along the fact that the misquitoes mean business. The showers (cold) are very clean as is the bathroom in general. The parking spaces are also well paved and large enough (wide and long).

Perfect for camping with tent. Short walk over the dunes to the most beautiful beach in the world!

Too many dogs left in camp by their owners, and too many owners not picking up after their dogs.
Someone actually left a bag of door poop on a trail through the dunes between camp and the beach.
We have been enjoying this campground for more than 10 years, and we may not come back.
