Ocracoke campgrounds were great! The beach is not far, just over a sand dune. Very easy access via multiple trails. The bathrooms and showers worked fine well we where there. The shower water was around room temperature water. Definitely recommend camping here if you're planning a trip to ocracoke. We went in July, bugs were out and we didn't get bit quit a decent amount so bring bug spray/nets.

The bugs, specifically the no-see-ums were atrocious. People were arriving throughout the middle of the night and setting up tents at midnight/1am at multiple campsites next to and near us.

Bath facilities were not up to par. Bathrooms were hot and covered in bugs and mosquitoes. It was difficult to get to the beach. We had a family next to us that kept us awake. We actually left one day earlier than planned. I wouldn't stay there again, especially in the summer.

Myself, and two of my grandsons and one of their friends came down to camp for three nights and fish. We had a really good time. It was enjoyable made some good memories didn’t really catch that many fish, but will be back in September but all in all it was really fun.

Great little campground with close beach access. Scout around for sites...we found some with plenty of space and others closer together. Overall we really liked this campground.

Ocracoke island can't be beat, and the campground accommodates well. Be sure your screens are no-see-um mesh! I do wish some of the campground was no-generators. They overpower the sound of the beach, and smell bad.
