Tent camped for 7 days at site D3. The bad: site has cactus, burrs, mice, and a black snake; during the day we battled birds, flies, and biting flies; during the evening and into the night we were under siege by mosquitoes, and no see ums; the temperatures were low 80’s yet the sun seemed relentless; the wind and rain came on strong and could pick up weighted tents into the air 15 ft and throw them 50 ft. The good: We came prepared for it all and had an Awesome time!!! Thanks for the tan, shells, and memories. Can’t wait until next year!

The over all experience of the campground was wonderful. Ocracoke is a beautiful island. If you want a forced relaxation vacation this is the place to be. Beautiful beaches, easy nature trails, kayaking and easy access to everything in town. We had a great time.

We usually like to reserve dune sites, but ended up in back on site B28. We camp with dogs and they need to wear boots to avoid the sand burs. It turns out there aren't any burs( or very minimal) in the back area.
Low mosquito count during our stay. Bathrooms were clean.
Only problem we had was camper near us ran his generator all night, during our in the grass. Years ago, rangers would drive around at 10 to remind campers of quiet time and no generators. This year, nobody came around all week. Daughter was sleeping in a tent and was very annoyed at the loud generator every night.
Had great beach time, we drive ORV and buy the 10 day permit. Can't wait to go back to my favorite beach in the world!

Overall, I had a good experience for the five nights I stayed at the Ocracoke campground. When in contact with the staff they seemed friendly. The restrooms/shower facilities were were cleaned regularly.
I have one major complaint: Up until recently generators were not allowed in Loop D. Now they are! Since there are three other Loops for people who want to run generators, why not keep one Loop generator-free? Please consider this change!

We had a wonderful stay at Ocracoke Campground! The location is hard to beat. You're just a short walk from the beach, and it was the perfect place to relax after spending the day exploring the island.
A few tips for future campers:
* Bring plenty of bug spray.
* There is no natural shade, so having a canopy or some extra shade makes the afternoons much more comfortable.
* Be sure to catch at least one sunset on the sound. It's worth it.
* D-Loop is generator free all the time so don't book in d-loop if you plan on using a generator
This has become an annual family tradition for us, and we look forward to coming back every year. Ocracoke Campground is a big part of what makes the trip so special. If you're looking for a relaxing campground with easy beach access and a great place to make lasting family memories, we highly recommend it!
