Great place to stay.
Really needs a dish washing station and a place to fill water jugs. Everything else is great.

It's always a pleasure camping at Ocracoke Campgrounds. This year will mark my 7th year in a row and will continue my tradition every September.

Beautiful and exciting place, I wish it was a hot water so I can tent camp on the cold months but so far is an excellent place for camping and hiking and be out there, see the stars and the Milky Way, I definitely recommend and I’ll be back very soon.
