Beautiful campsites in a tertiary dune field, some shade and wind protection if you choose carefully. Bathrooms were clean, cold water shower not too bad, but solar hot water heaters would be greatly appreciated. Biggest disappointment was that the entire beach in front of the campground is a driving beach and is overrun with trucks starting at approximately sunrise every morning. I had to drive to a no-car beach every day.

This is my favorite campground in Hatteras. Showers aren't heated, but that's not a problem in the summer when the water coming out of the showers is almost lukewarm and pretty refreshing, and this is coming from someone who gets cold easily. Bathrooms have always been in good condition every time I've been there. A lot of the sites have plenty of tree cover, so depending on the site you choose, it has more privacy than most of the other campgrounds in the area. Bring plenty of bug spray, you'll need it or you might get carried off by the island's aggressive giant mosquitoes. No open campfires at this campground, but there are built in charcoal grills at the sites. You can bring firewood and make a fire on the beach after you get a free beach fire permit, but unless you'll be driving a 4WD on the beach, it's quite a long walk from the campground to the beach if you're carrying a load of firewood. There's not a camp store, but there is a market/gas station/tackle shop at the road that you turn turn to get to the campground, so no need to panic if you forget to pack something, need to get ice, bait, etc. Nights offer some of the best stargazing you could ask for. The milky way is clearly visible and we saw plenty of shooting stars on this most recent trip.
