We actually wound up just using this place to park our trailer while we visited friends who live close by. It is a very nice campground, and we would have liked to stay here if we didnt have local friends. This time of year most of the sites are empty, so we waited until the last minute to make a reservation. There is nobody at the check in station, and it is reservations only. The loop roads are narrow, and so are the site pads, but everything is paved. Most sites are tricky to get backed into, especially the ones on your blind side, so pick carefully. There is no water, electric, or dump station, so come prepared. And there are stickers everywhere. Our site was A001, and it was impossible to step off of the pavement without getting into them. Ouch! Booties for your dog are highly recommended.

The minimal contact check in experience was deeply appreciated. The sites are generally tight to access and except for a half dozen or so, or no longer than 43 to 45 feet. The only way to fill your water tank is to park in front of one of the restrooms (where the water spigots are placed) and you will be blocking the road while you fill.

Bring lots of leveling blocks.

This campground is amazing! We had a spacious campsite located relatively close to the bathrooms and showers. Both the bathrooms and showers were clean. The walk to the beach is wicked easy and it's absolutely beautiful. Will definitely camp here again!

All in all a very good experience. Pros— privacy. Read the need to know section carefully as sites all have different layouts but beautiful. Pets are allowed. Some sites have spectacular views. Great area for spring and fall camping. I suspect it is hot and buggy in summer. The campground is quiet and there appears to be a camp host though we never saw one in person. Restrooms and cold showers. No generators after 10 pm.
Cons—lots of sand burrs and prickly pear cactus which is a problem for dogs. Mine quickly figured out that going in the road worked best and made for easy pick up for us. Feral cats. The literature does not explain that there is no place to fill rv water tanks. This needs to be expressed prominently on website. There is no dump station and again not prominently stated nor is it easy to find the information on the one at Hatteras lighthouse and the Ranger checking us in did not share the info. There is no Ranger presence after hours which could be problematic.

Pre-planning and paying close attention to the rec.gov reservation information for the campground and each site is key. We would definitely use this campground again.
