Wonderful campground. Quiet, lots of shady sites along the perimeter road for tents or canopies to set up back in the trees. Nice level sites, clean restrooms & bath houses. As stated on the .gov website, the showers are cold (not a big issue at the beach as ambient temps are warm) and the mosquitoes can be intense in the dawn and dusk times. Make sure you take bug spray and you will have a lovely time. We enjoyed our stay immensely and will stay again the next time we are in the OBX.

This is a nice spot to camp but beware the ticks! We expected mosquitoes and even some poison ivy, but the ticks were everywhere. No place was safe, not even the concrete. We were doing tick check every 4-6 hours and still managed to find super tiny ones attached. I would recommend treating your clothes, camp chairs and tent with permethrin prior to arrival. Otherwise the sites are relatively nice, most of them lack shade so be sure to bring a tarp or some sort of system that enables you to create shade in the middle of the day. The restrooms were clean and the sites are relatively spread out. Cell phone reception is pretty spotty so don't expect much. The walk to the ocean is also quite lovely and depending on where your site is, you can either walk directly from your site or there are parking areas near each of the boardwalks that head to the beach.

We got to see the Milky Way and that was #1 on our list. We loved everything about Frisco! Except the sandspurs. Brought back memories from growing up in Central Florida.

There are some natural shady spots here and boardwalk thru a natural hedge tunnel caused me to let out a “wow” when I first saw it
