We love the Ocracoke state campground! The stars at night are incredible! I thought it was clean and the that the park rangers were very nice. My only complaint is that the rules recently changed to allow generators in the D loop. I find them super annoying.

This is one of the best camping experiences in NC. Great sense of community, safe and isolated. The beaches are top notch and the island is the way a beach community should be. The best part of camping here is that you never know what you are gonna get. You could get no wind and all mosquitoes, or too much wind and things blowing away. You could have super hot beach day with torrential downpours at dinner time or the most perfect mild breeze, no bugs, blinging night sky with a new moon filled with shooting starts and laughter filling the campground from numerous pockets of campers. It’s not like any place you’ve camped.

It is a very special place and thoroughly enjoyed the experience camping right near the beach. Massive size mosquitos in the bathrooms. Had to wear bug stuff that often was ineffective.
The beach was perfect.

This is a really good site. It’s not far from the bathroom or the showers. The only drawbacks were it’s full of sandburs and people cut through our campsite on their way to the beach, even though there were other trails available.
Wish there was more of a Ranger presence. There were people letting their dogs run off leash through the campsites and on the beach through bird nesting sites. There was another guy in the campground who hooked his hose up to the only water Spicket And was filling his tank and washing the back of his truck.
