Beautiful area, close to the beach, clean restroom, close to the quaint town, and perfect weather. What more could boon docking campers ask for? (I think asking for fewer mosquitos is not within the purview of the National Park Service...)

Ocracoke is my where my heart and soul and brain come to be replenished, renewed, restored.
I am so grateful to all the park staff and camp hosts for all that they do. When we had to evacuate for two days for Tropical Storm Ophelia, everyone made sure that we all knew when we needed to leave and when we could come back, and they were so gracious in doing that and in welcoming us when we returned.
If the whole world - and every organization in it - operated the way the Cape Hatteras National Seashore operates, we would live in a world of efficiency and kindness and love and concern for one another.

First off we love Ocracoke, so anytime there is great. BUT ...
1. You're reservation system leaves a lot to desire. It was impossible to modify to change sites. The rangers even had difficulty.
2. Storm Ophelia came along and we were told to leave by Friday at noon. But this decision was not coordinated with the town or the ferry system. We managed to grab a camping site in town. Some people waited up to five hours to get off the island before the ferry closed down. Some people got stuck at the parking lots because there was no where to go. Some people who got off the island could only make it as far as Frisco. We were lucky that the storm wasn't that bad. But there was definitely lack of communication.

Mosquitos were atrocious! Warm water showers would help. Allow 24 hour generators.

The locations is wonderful. The campsites were well kept and the management very accommodating. We had to evacuate the campground due to Tropical storm Ophelia. The park staff made sure we were kept up to date with news and advice on leaving.

ok campground the real cold showers are awful no reason they cant put some type of solar array to make the showers bearable. Unreal amount of bugs locals say they can't be stopped. Bug spray does not work.
