We had an awesome stay in Ocracoke! The campground was so clean and well maintained and being right next to the beach was a cherry on top. We are definitely looking forward to going back.

One of the bathroom stalls in the mens room was out of order for the entire 7 days that we were camping. We had to move from our first site b2 because of the smell from the dumpster

Be careful not to choose a site next to the sans dunes. I spent hours pulling burrs out od our carpets and our dog. The grass sites are well kept and much easier to use.

Loud during the day (lots of gasoline generator on the campground)
Except that, it was amazing !! Nice beach and spots on campground. Restrooms and showers were not so bad but could be cleaner.

This was our first visit with the family to the Ocracoke campground and it was the BEST experience ever starting with JD checking us in. He was so gracious and kind. He came back to us knowing we were first timers and gave us recommendations marked off on the Ocracoke visitor’s map. It was extremely helpful! We loved it there so much, while sitting and enjoying the day watching our kids play corn hole, we decided and booked another visit in July!

In fairness, we did book our campsite during the long July 4th holiday weekend. That still doesn’t excuse most of the bad behavior exhibited by campers. The issues: The campground was overcrowded as many sites exceeded the maximum number of people stated for campsites. Many dog owners exercised little control over their pets (constant barking, dog feces left around the campground, and dogs unleashed). Trash was strewn throughout the campground. One campsite, in D Loop, regularly used a noisy gas-powered generator in a loop that prohibits generators. Quiet hours were never observed and were never enforced. Bathrooms and showers were dirty and odorous.
If these issues are not addressed and remedied, we doubt we will ever return to Ocracoke campground. That is unfortunate as the island is, overall, a beautiful seaside getaway.

The site was well located and had some shade. Unfortunately there were egg shells and other garbage in the bushes which really took away from the experience
