This is just a great campground. Nice amount of space between spots, right over the dunes to the beach, and clean facilities.

We like this campground very much. This was our 4th spring visit. We were in B6, very convenient to the beach and the bathroom. We met plenty of friendly people and enjoyed the quiet at the designated times. The facilities were clean and well maintained. We will definitely return.

Beautiful campground right on the beach. I loved the privacy. Bathrooms were clean and convenient. A hot shower would have been nice!

The campground is beautiful and kept very well. The grounds were immaculate. It would be the perfect location if they would at least install power. It would be extremely hot in the summer months with no AC in your rig,

Great campground--quiet, well-maintained, lovely setting behind the sand dunes. We loved being on the Outer Banks at Okracoke Island.

I loved this site because there were two trees at the back where I could hang my hammock.

Great spot, easy access to ocean. Fairly isolated and multiple place to put tents. I would recommend bringing a tarp to put down so you are shielded from excess sand.
