This is a National Park Service campground located on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Although there are not any hookups, the view of the ocean that some of the sites offer makes this a worthwhile stop. The sites are of medium size, but there is lots of space between sites. The campground offers a boardwalk with access to the beach. The weather was great, but watch out for mosquitoes. Unlike most NPS campgrounds this one offers a basic shower so you can clean up after spending the day in the ocean. The campground is about 20 minutes from the Cape Hatteras lighthouse. Reservations are not available, and weren't necessary as the campground was only 1/3 full. Be sure to check out the local fish markets for fresh local fish and take in a national park program. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Thank goodness we tried this campsite: we absolutely loved it! It wasn't on the ocean "per se" but on the sound side, however we walked across the road and over the dune to the beach. The beach was pretty private; not like a lot of public beaches. The campground was so lovely; I loved the openness! There were lots of trails through the trees that children would love and the sound was perfect for children. You didn't have to worry about them as much as in the ocean. The camp store was lovely and well stocked and the campground was well maintained; considering the size of it. The pool was lovely and there were numerous bathhouses through out. There were many who camped in tents, motorhomes, pull behinds, or in the quaint cabins. I read on one site that the staff was not very friendly. Not so: we were walking back from the ocean with 3 whinny kids and the lady who checked us in was coming through and gave us a ride back to the campground. How is that for service beyond the norm? We have been to numerous "cookie cutter" campgrounds where there is no ambience; everyone is packed together like sardines and there is a "slot" for you. Being able to walk around through the lovely campsite meant a lot to me. I would go again anytime! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Worst restrooms I have ever used in my life. Absolutely filthy. Stayed that way the 3 days I was there. Cleaning consisted of putting new T.P. on top of the dispenser. Gentleman behind the counter acted as if he really did not want to be there. We camped here in a Tent.

If you like a sunset view on the soundside of Hatteras Island, this is the place. There are full service sites that are truly soundfront - step out into the water if you want. We were there in the spring, so the bugs were not bad, but like anyplace at ground level (except the beach!) in Hatteras, bugs are bad! There was a bad storm with NW winds while we were there, and most of the site flooded, but the staff was very helpful finding a place for us on higher ground. Rest rooms and laundry room were older, but clean a well kept. The pool looking great, but it wasn't warm enough to try it. There are no ground fires permitted, but I think that is county law, as none of the campgrounds we saw permit fires. Beach access is handy, but you have to drive there - 4x4 is the best way to go .... We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
