One of my favorite places off-season. Bring all your winter gear/layers and enjoy being one of the very few souls walking the fabulous miles of beautiful beach. When it's really too windy to walk on the beach, I enjoy walking the nature trail through the maritime forest that is off of the little parking lot directly across Hwy 12 from the campground entrance.

This site, this campground is beautiful, the beach access terrific. My favorite place to camp on the Outer Banks, I have been coming here all my life.

We stayed her in March so it was off season. The park is beautiful, clean and we had it mostly to ourselves. Our site had lots of sun for our solar panel. We rode our bikes to town and toured around and ate lunch at the brewery. The crab stuffed pretzel is a must try. The hosts were super friendly and there was one heated bathroom open ( no showers). This is a wonderful peaceful campground to enjoy the beach, nature and see some stars.

Ocracoke is a quiet place with a slower pace.

Did the current website indicate: 1) that only the restroom in section D was open and water is only available there, and 2) that no showers are available? Or did I miss those facts as I was reviewing the website?

We had an amazing time. We've camped here many times. Usually it is packed full. But since it was off season, the campground was almost completely empty, a completely new experience for us. And the weather was fabulous! And the beach was amazing! We enjoyed relaxing and walking the beach and campground several times a day. So relaxing! I highly recommend considering to come camping here off season.
