Great campground, however, the path going to the beach forked and without signage led people to walk through the middle of our campsite to access the beach. Even though we had a tent, bikes, and multiple vehicles in our site, there was no signage telling people to use the other side of the fork in the path.

Enjoyed this campground - well maintained - clean bathrooms - did not use the shower but they looked clean but not a lot of water pressure - more of a spray. Definitely a feeling of more isolation on Ocracoke which we enjoyed. Fairly easy walk over dunes to the ocean. Disappointed that Ramp 68 beside the campground is closed and would have liked more sound access. Beautiful night sky. Only one seafood vendor on the island. Wish we had taken our bicycles. Nice folks all around us. We did have one fishing rod go missing - we don't think we left it on the beach. :(

We love Ocracoke Campground and have stayed several times before. The biggest detraction here is no hot water in the showers. You have to be careful choosing a site to ensure its large enough to accommodate your rig. The camp hosts this trip were not what we are used to at National Parks. One couple seemed like "stoners" from the 70's and were not very outgoing or friendly.

For pocket change, you can pitch your tent next to the dunes and sleep to the sound of the waves rhythmically and softly landing upon the shore. Nothing beats that. Just be sure to bring mosquito repellent...

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.

Beautiful campground. Bathrooms were always spotless, grounds were too. Very friendly host! Can’t wait to go back!

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.
