Beautiful beaches and campsites. Warning that the showers are only cold water so if it's cold out you will find the shower chilly.

A lovely campground, quick walk over the path in the dunes to a gorgeous beach and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The town of Ocracoke was so nice, we enjoyed the restaurant recommendations. This was definitely our favorite stop on our East Coast trip.

Great spot right behind the dunes. No hookups which is good, keeps the crowds away but nice bathrooms and great rangers and hosts. Many mosquitoes at times but that should be expected. Nice walk/hike on the Hammock Hills trail. Accessing the beach is very easy either by vehicle with proper permit or on foot. The lighthouse is a must see with volunteers manning it Wed-Sat afternoons. Another hike is the Springers Point trail. The people at the visitor center were very friendly and knowledgeable. Our stay was extended because the weather made ferry traffic unsafe. So if you go keep an eye on the weather. Hurricanes and nor'easters can disrupt schedules. There are no big stores but you can find most necessities at the Variety Store.

The campground is a beautiful spot right next to the ocean. It's perfect for a late night beach walk and should make it easy on beachgoers, particularly those with out an off-road vehicle. Be very careful with dogs or kids and there are significant burrs in the area-- both sand burrs and prickly pear. Good shoes should help.

This was our second stay here. We spent 5 nights here this year and 4 or 5 nights here the same week, one year before.
The camp sites are spacious enough and the ones up against the dunes are the ones we choose as we like the sound of the surf and the access to the beach. Plenty of water spigots to refill the water tank on our trailer and the dump station across the street is not too bad of a walk with our portable tote tank. We like the bike path to "town" and its about 4 miles all on a flat, well paved path. We prefer to bike into town to get anything we need at the well stocked grocery store and to grab some fresh seafood to grill on the grill.
We plan to make this trip to Ocracoke an annual one.
