Ocracoke Campground

Beautiful campground. Shower drain was clogged

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.

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.

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

We enjoyed it very much. Quiet. Clean. Close to the beach.

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.

Very nice location

Beautiful campground that really lacks decent showers with at least warm water. Who ever heard of camping without a campfire?? It's terrible. We always look forward to sitting around a campfire at night doing su'mores with the kids. There's nothing out there that will burn! You can't get sand and crab grass to ignite. All the trees are way on the otherside of the highway. Besides there's a huge fire dept. 3 minutes away.

Oftentimes very competent campground staff are not in office. Hire more crew. Great campground though.
