This is a beautiful campground in a very special place. Kudos to the NPS (and all of us taxpayers) for protecting the Ocracoke Island National Seashore. The access to the spectacular beach is excellent and the facilities at the campground are great. Shout out also to the campground host (Lynn Ingram) when I was there - she was very helpful and a great fellow road tripper to meet.

The campground was amazing! Despite no electric or water, this was by far my favorite part of the trip to the Outerbanks. Make sure your fresh water tank is full and you have a generator. The bathrooms were very clean. We were able to walk over the dunes and get right to the ocean. We went to town and rented a golf cart and drove around. It was fun even though it was the beginning of December and not much was open. We will definitely be going again.

Restrooms were very clean and the sites are also. Nice and peaceful. Showers are cold but I didn’t use them being I was in a camper.

Site was nice. We have a big tent, which this site was not ideal for. A little more wild and well preserved than our neighbors.

We love love love this campground. It is well maintained and the camp host Roxanne was wonderful! When she was on duty she was out and about in the campground. Always smiling and offering assistance.

The reservation system needs reforming in regards to cancellations. There should be a much greater return on your payment when you cancel to act as an incentive to cancel. That campsite should become immediately available. (in many campgrounds there are reserved sites that are empty, and could be used for (@ least) walk-ins
