Really enjoyed this campground during the off season. Lots of goat heads so watch your pups paws when they are outside.

I enjoyed a relaxing night at the Ocracoke campground. The winter is a quiet time to be in Ocracoke. I think there were only three other campsites occupied the night I was there. My campsite was just on the other side of the dunes from the ocean. What a wonderful way to go to sleep - listening to the ocean. The campsite was very clean. I was tent camping and there was a nice level space to put my tent. The site had a nice picnic table and a grill. I was a short walk to the heated bathroom which was pretty clean. The only source of drinking and cooking water (that I could find) was at the water fountain by the bathrooms. The showers were closed for the season. There is a bike path that runs from Ocracoke Village to the the campground so getting back and forth the village is safe and easy.

We had a great time at this National Park campground!! First time we've been on the island in January and we took advantage of a less crowded village. The campground is very clean, well kept with a paved and level site makes a lot of full hook up campgrounds look pale in comparison. The staff was very friendly and well informed. A quick walk to the beach and a ORV ramp right next to the campground made it easy to take the truck out for a day of surf fishing. We will definitely be returning to this campground!

It is lovely on the island in the middle of winter. It is just a bummer that there the showers are off at the campground.

Site was very clean on our arrival and level enough to use without blocks. The restrooms were clean as well. Campground is in excellent location with good beach access. It was very quiet and Rangers cruised thru regularly. This is one of our favorite places. we were in 25" Class C.
