Ocracoke Campground offers a beautiful, well-maintained setting with easy access to a stunning beach, making it a favorite among campers. Many reviews highlight the campground's cleanliness, helpful staff, and the peaceful atmosphere, ideal for relaxation and stargazing. However, some campers noted issues with mosquitoes, generator noise in the D Loop, and occasional maintenance concerns, but overall, the positive experiences outweigh the negatives, with many expressing a desire to return.

In the past we always appreciated that the D loop was a generator free zone, until last year. The last 2 times we camped there the campers next to us ran a generator all day long. Last year he would leave for the whole day. This year the couple stayed inside their RV the whole day. We could not hear the ocean and could barely hear each other talk. So disappointed. Plenty of empty spots in the other loops. We do not understand why this change was made but are looking at other camping options to avoid this in the future. With current solar and battery technology the need for generators is diminishing. Please, please, please give us back the D loop!!!!

I love this campground. As always, it was clean, quiet, and had good convenience facilities. The staff was very friendly and helpful and so were the neighbors, not to mention a short walk over the dunes to the beach. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful area with nothing but nature. Many times we were the only people on the beach. Camp host was great. Helped us change our reservation to a better spot. Dump station and water available right across the road. Can't wait to come back.

Always a pleasure! Camp hosts were kind and helpful, the mosquitoes didn't cooperate but never do and the wind kept things lively most of the week. The only negative, I don't remember the cacti being so plentiful. If you veer off path or on the fringes of some of the campsites on dune side you may be in for a world of hurt. Still, can't wait to be back! Thank you NPS fir this gem of a place in the Outer Banks.

I’ve been camping at the National Seashore for about 60 years. For the last few years we enjoyed staying at Frisco but the campsites have become more overgrown with vegetation, and particularly various kinds of cactus which has made it almost unbearable for kids and pets, so this year we stayed at Ocracoke. The campground was well maintained and there were MUCH fewer cactuses there. From now on we’ll be staying there, but I hope that there will be efforts in the future to control the cactus at Frisco so we can go there again too.
