Ocracoke Campground

Our campsite D17 was a short walk over the dune from the beach. We had plenty of room for a screen tent and 2 smaller sleeping tents. There was even a bit of shade there, which is not true of all Ocracoke sites.
My only complaint is that the D Loop is supposed to be the generator free zone, but in fact it is not. We called the non-emergency phone number our first night to complain about a neighbor using their generator throughout the early evening hours. They put us in touch with a NPS law enforcement ranger, who was very nice, but unfortunately stated that their compendium does not allow for enforcement of the D Loop as a generator free zone. They could only intervene if a generator is used after 10pm. We were planning for a quieter wilderness experience, but this was not the case. Fortunately, our noisy neighbor left before us, and we did enjoy a few quiet evenings!
Beautiful campground, and overall we had a pleasant time.

Dear Campers in Loop D, please observe the "No Generators in D Loop," policy before you make your reservations. D loop is for tent camping. If you need power, please invest in solar.
Thank You

An absolute MUST!
Part of the famous Great Loop, starting from Norfolk, VI and camping @Ocracoke Campsite was one of the best tours I've taken on my Harley, solo.
That little island is... enchanted, for lack of better words.
Just DO IT!

very nice campground, facilities are very good and clean. will come back again.

Site D3 was very nice. Easy access to the ocean and can hear the waves while falling asleep. There were a lot of black flies so bring repellant. Bathrooms and showers just a short walk, and cleaned daily. Overall a great campground.

Some of the sites were wet, so we called and were able to switch easily. The campground was beautiful and very clean.

We had a great time. The week started very hot, then, rain and finally cleared off. The rangers were very nice. The restroom was clean.

Nice campground. Showers and bathrooms were good. No issues during our stay.

I’ve been camping at the National Seashore for about 60 years. For the last few years we enjoyed staying at Frisco but the campsites have become more overgrown with vegetation, and particularly various kinds of cactus which has made it almost unbearable for kids and pets, so this year we stayed at Ocracoke. The campground was well maintained and there were MUCH fewer cactuses there. From now on we’ll be staying there, but I hope that there will be efforts in the future to control the cactus at Frisco so we can go there again too.

Campground was fine, weather was terrible. I left 3 days early.
