Not for the faint of heart getting there. We had a 3 hour wait for the ferry plus the ride over. The campsites were clean and spacious.

We love Ocracoke Island for the shore fishing and great restaurants. The beach goes on forever, and it is a blast to be able to drive your vehicle to a secluded area for the day. The camping is a little challenging. Intense sun, no shade, mosquitoes, cold showers. The campsites are small and offer little privacy. The bathrooms are very busy. If you want to go CAMPING, you will have a much better CAMPING experience elsewhere... but if you want to visit Ocracoke Island, this campground is an affordable way to go... and you can wake up each morning, take a short hike over a sand dune, and there it is, the ocean!

While chilly, March is a beautiful time to visit Ocracoke. It is especially good for the Hammock Hills nature walk across Highway 12. In the summer, it can be pretty buggy, but it was great!

We went to Ocracoke mid March. The campsites were just as expected. Having not been there before we wanted to change sites and the hosts helped us with that and were very friendly. A number of the rest rooms were still winterized and as such not available. Had we decided to go in early April, then more restaurants would be available. What we were after was the natural beauty and we had it . Be prepared for ferry’s not being able to sail due to weather. We had very high winds one night that made seas rough and causing flooding in Hatteras. Ferry’s are the only way on and off the island so be prepared to be flexible.
