Ocracoke Campground

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

This campsite is only for the brave and adventurous! We’ve had it twice now. First in October and the mosquitoes were relentless. Second was in July and the black flies were even worse.. Woke up to hundreds that had gotten through the tent screen and were basically trapped turning us into a giant biting fly trap! Some animal took our small trash bag one evening after just walking up the dune to see the beach (don’t worry they got what they were after and we cleaned up the mess with smiles on our faces, lesson learned). Your own scenic trail to the beach is a big plus and has plenty of privacy. Recommend setting up past the trees more out in the open (this last time we set up in the trees to avoid rain and think that’s the reason for the black flies). Shortish walk to the restrooms and shower house but bring plenty of water and definitely bug spray. Adventure awaits!

Beautiful, convenient, even with the heat it was such a nice stay!!

Absolutely amazing be careful of the mosquitoes and flies but the bathrooms were clean and everything was awesome

Clean and quiet

This is an excellent and well-managed campground. The grounds were pleasantly lawn-like (not easy to achieve in such a sandy area) and all the facilities were clean and well-maintained. The only suggestion I would make to the management is to install a boardwalk leading to the ocean. We ended up driving to facility closer to town because the beach access was less of a slog.

Amazing and the volunteers were wonderful.

The campsite host is TERRIBLE!!! Not friendly, arrogant, RUDE. I have been coming to this campground since 2006 and she made it a most unfriendly experience. Constant harassment about keeping dogs leashed!!! I could not get out of the camper without her trotting out of her camper watching to see if I had them leashed! Demanded I turn my generator off when she could not even here it!! It is built into my F150. Park ranger said my generator was OK. There wasn't another camper within 1000'. GET RID of her!

Beautiful location right by the beach. this site was on a dune, we camped in the sand. the site was big enough for 2 tents and fit both cars in the parking spot. we had a lovely time and it was so private and clear out. definitely bring bug spray and watch for fire ants. The bathrooms were well kept and we loved our time here.

Beautiful location. The closest you can get to an oceanfront stay on Ocracoke Island. It was also a treat to be so close to the protected sea turtle nest sites. Also saw a really interesting assortment of plants, including cacti (be sure to wear shoes at the campsite!) Hearing the frogs and waves from my tent at night was unreal and really gave a sense of really being immersed in nature. My dog LOVED sleeping out here. The bathroom/shower were much appreciated. Also great to have a place to fill up my water bottle and an outdoor shower to remove the sand after coming off the beach. If you’re looking for a quiet and peaceful stay at the beach in which you will feel truly immersed in nature, this is a fantastic place to stay!
