A wonderful, peaceful, quiet campground. Right behind the dunes of the beach. Site A7 was great, between the path to the beach and flanked by shrubs for privacy- morning sun and afternoon shade. Cool breezes all day long. Loved our 3 days here. Ocracoke village is charming and friendly, only a 20 minute bike ride away.

Beautiful clean campground right on the beach. I also enjoyed the hammock nature trail and paved sidewalk to town. I wish the cancellation policy would change as people often drop their reservations and then that site goes empty. It is often difficult to make reservations at reservations.com.

Amazing location! Spacious, accessible campsites. Lights and warm water in the showers would be nice, but I understand this is a remote location.

We are frequent visitors to the NPS Campgrounds in the Cape Hatteras and Cape Lookout National Sea Shores. The Ocracoke NPS Campground is a well maintained campground with friendly staff, both NPS and temporary hosts. However, there is one significant issue that needs to be addressed. The trees in the maritime forest on the campground are well trimmed back from the roads and camp sites. However the trees in the exit from the RV dump station have not been trimmed back and overhang the road.
Large rigs should be very aware of this. On arrival our 5th wheel clipped our front cap and tore our roof edge on those trees. I mentioned this to the hosts to no avail, nothing was done during our stay. On departure we had to reverse into the double sided dump station. blocking the main road and the entry/exit from the dump station.
