We had a rough experience. We were tent camping and a storm blew in collapsing the tent in the middle of the night. Ok totally our fault. But dang could you please put in hot showers. What a miserable experience to not be able to rinse off from a day at the beach except in water I can only assume was piped from the arctic.

As beach camping goes, this place is the best. The campsites are not too windy or buggy, although both are just a part of beach camping. Multi-day storms can flood some sites, so be aware when you reserve and check weather - again, just a given with beach camping. Some sites are drier, windier, and less buggy than others, so take time to look at the site before reserving. Generally, the more sheltered, the more buggy. The Park Service does a good job of making sure that campers keep noise down after hours, which is greatly appreciated when you are in a tent or a pop-up trailer. They also take good care of the bathrooms and showers. We look forward to our next trip.

We camped in the A circle and the men’s bathroom has had a problem toilet for years. Otherwise, I would have said “excellent.”

We have been coming to Ocracoke for over 30 years, camping for 5. We love it here. The camping experience is another matter. There are two main problems, loud open frame job site style generators and barking dogs.
We had three of these incredibly load generators near us. Fortunately one was there for only a day. The other two, which were next to each other, stayed for the rest of our visit. Several campers were forced to move due to the incredibly loud noise which went on from 8 am until 9 pm every day. Many state parks do not allow these types of gen sets.
And of course there is the ubiqitous barking dog problem. The Hosts and Rangers should be more proactive on this issue.

Overall, it was what we expected, including the cold showers and insects but it's beach camping so that's OK. I do suggest better signage for the official beach access. The sites on the perimeters offer much more privacy than the inner sites. Our days here were some of our favorite of a three week road trip.
