Ocracoke Campground

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.

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!

On the website it says there could be some standing water. It rained & my campsite had a foot of water all around. I had to leave early & couldn't enjoy the whole weekend. If it’s raining most campsites there should be blocked off.

The park was a reasonable bike ride from town which is very crowded.

A "best kept secret" campground. Well-maintained, quiet and peaceful. Easy walk over the dunes to the beach or from the parking lot decked entrance. At least one bar of cell service for necessary calls.

Great place! Five stars! Love the view of all the stars at night as well as the sunrise in sunsets!

I have been camping in this campground for 64 years.
Best beach on the outerbanks.
This last trip the volunteer ranger, Jason was very helpful with a reservation oversight. He did work it out thoroughly
with all persons involved. I personally thank Jason for going over and beyond his regular duty.
Going back soon...

Overall we had a wonderful time camping at Ocracoke. The weather was great, with mostly ocean breezes and sunny days. There was one epic rainstorm but it was beautiful in its own way. I withheld a star in my rating for two reasons. First is the noise from camper’s generators after the 10 PM curfew. I’d prefer no generators at all but respect the compromise and wish that others would too. I think most campers prefer to fall asleep to the sound of the ocean, not an industrial racket. Second is the mess that some campers leave in the showers. Gobs of hair, toilet paper and other personal items. Ocracoke is a beautiful place that deserves better.

We love Ocracoke. 10 years of visiting. But they di need to repair the picnic tables. Ours was full of holes on site D9

Ocracoke campground is one of our favorite camping spots. Sleeping under the stars, look up in the middle of the night and you'll see milky way; surrounded by fire flies, quietly blinking in the bushes; hearing the ocean waves crashing in your sleep and wake up and walk 5 minutes to watch every gorgeous sun rise on the empty beach. It's such a wonderful experience every year. Set your tent towards the winds and enjoy the breeze coming through your tent, it's the best way to connect yourself with nature and everything wonderful at Ocracoke. Thank you camp host and rangers for keeping the campsite so clean and welcoming to us all. Oh and don't forget to join the Tuesday morning Bird walk, you'll love it.
