Great views of the milky way, beautiful beach, and nice camp sites.Clean facilities on most days.(cold) drinking water that tastes very good.Mobile coverage is hit or miss. If you must work with tele-presence, bring a Starlink dish and chose a camp side that is open to NNE.

If the wind dies the bugs are bad! The camping was great otherwise. Bring a solar shower if you like a warm shower. The cold showers are really cold. Bring a picnic table cover, and the tables are about 9 long.

Bath facilities were not up to par. Bathrooms were hot and covered in bugs and mosquitoes. It was difficult to get to the beach. We had a family next to us that kept us awake. We actually left one day earlier than planned. I wouldn't stay there again, especially in the summer.

The best beaches and a wonderful campground. I do not like the lack of park service employees now that all reservation commerce is done online. The NPS employees were a huge part of the experience with their advice, knowledge.The water fountains need attention. Other than sanitation, it's of huge importance especially to tent campers. The water fountains need cleaned daily. They were pretty dirty despite the bathrooms being very clean and tidy. The D loop fountain needs repair - the bottle fill does not function.So many campers trash the bathrooms and leave unsecured trash at their campsites. It is sad and disrespectful. I think some signage could help the situation and make people more mindful.

I love this campground. It’s quiet and rustic, and just steps away from the ocean.

Nice place to camp, well spaced spaces with some separation by bushes but not all. Very close to beach so minimal overhead trees. Good amenities

The staff took great care of the place. I never interacted with the host (I didn't have a need to), but they were always there making regular rounds. That seems like the way it should be.

Also, the grounds are kept neat and clean.

ocracoke is a great campground, and beaches some of best on east coast. Campground has been the busiest that I have ever seen it for this time of year in the 30 years I've been visiting. Word is out, so get your reservations EARLY. This campsite, D 32, is not good, slowed with dramatic flooding in heavy rains that flow straight into your tent.
