My second stay at Ocracoke Campground. Tent camper, Gazelle T4 plus. Site was clean and well maintained. Bath house was very clean as well. Cold water only. Outdoor showers and potable water were off in winter so BYOW. Only ever camped in fall and winter so wasn't very crowded but, I'm sure it does get packed in the summer. Very quiet at night (when I was there). Great place to access beach, access ramps, access sound. Biking, walking, kayaking, fishing, shelling, oyster/clam harvest, bird watching, driving on beach (permit), fires on the beach, or head into town for shops, restaurants, charters. Overall, one of my favorite spots on the earth!.

Great campground with well maintained access to the beach. The local community was great to hangout with as well at the local bars.

The bathrooms were well maintained. I have tent camped with my family on the beach before and didn’t have flush toilets or running water so having both in a well maintained bathroom was excellent.

Really spectacular stars. Warm bathroom, never took the cold shower in December. Relatively close to good restaurant and brewery.

Great views of the milky way, beautiful beach, and nice camp sites.
Clean facilities on most days.
(cold) drinking water that tastes very good.
Mobile coverage is hit or miss. If you must work with tele-presence, bring a Starlink dish and chose a camp side that is open to NNE.
