Everythingβs good but you should think to turn some sites electric!

Great area! Would love for a little more enforcement of quiet hours, a lot of generators were running well into the night.

If you arenβt one of the first people to reserve a site right next to the dunes, this is your next best option! Lots of privacy with a tucked away canopy of trees providing much needed shade on a summer day. The sleeping pad location got lots of wind and airflow at night. Bathrooms were a quick walk away and well maintained. Donβt be tempted to be one minute closer to the beach and stay on the inner perimeter of the loop- with zero shade- this is your spot! Great beach location as well!

Enjoyed the facility, very family friendly... would be nice to have warm water for showers but hey, you're at the beach!
Would like to see some electrical hook ups available...
Great Time!

Not for the faint of heart, the camping experience at Ocracoke is beach camping at its best. Hot, sunshine, sand and surf abound and the cold shower at the end of the day is heavenly.

If the wind dies the bugs are bad! The camping was great otherwise. Bring a solar shower if you like a warm shower. The cold showers are really cold. Bring a picnic table cover, and the tables are about 9β long.

We love this campground! You need to be prepared for the weather and bugs, but if you take those precautions, you can have a very peaceful way to enjoy the sea right over the dune in the darkest place on the East Coast. We often see meteors and more stars than most places. My favorite extra is to hear the whippoorwills calling at night with the waves a constant background.
