Stayed off-season (Nov) but on a holiday weekend. Still plenty of open spots. Spot C3 was great! 31 total length travel trailer backed all the way up to the curb left me enough room to barely park the truck across the front of the site and still be inside the lines (within 6-8 of not having enough room).Access trail to the beach right behind the site. Beach was nearly empty all Veterans Day weekend. Temps 40s-60s. No mosquitoes at this time of year.Dump site (across street from main entrance) was well maintained. One potable water spigot and one non-potable (with threaded end for tank flush) available.Only downer: Grass in the site and sand in the dune atea are full of sand spurs/sticker burrs so watch out for bare feet and paws. Beach didnt have them.

What a great spot quiet, incredible beach. Very welcoming staff.

Beautiful beaches, tons of sand spurs and biting flies on the beach trail and in camp but to be expected, fair trade off to camp in such a gorgeous location. Bathrooms could use updating, showers definitely need updating, deep cleaned, hooks added, new locks and doors without gaps for privacy. Showers were disgusting, filthy dirty with sand, hair, left behind items and hadn't been cleaned on a regular basis.

Lovely time here with family, clean facilities and peaceful experiences.

Clean bathrooms. Very beach like setting. The dunes help blocking some of the strong winds. I like that both here and Oregon Inlet Camp Ground had drinkable water and dump station just across the street...

Beautiful. Need hot water for the showers

One of the best locations on OBX for access to a remarkable shoreline. Fun trip across on the ferry, either cedar island or Hatteras. Will be great when they get hot water for the outdoor showers.

Great place to camp! Facilities were clean and in good working order. Access to the beach was a short walk over the dunes from our campsite. For my parents that was a little tough but my husband and I had no problem. We stayed at C3 in a tent and it was pretty windy but we had earplugs to use at night which helped. Great place to stargaze and catch the sunrise. We loved it.

This campground is amazing! My only complaint is the noseeums but with bug spray and IPA’s life was great.

Wish electricity was available! Otherwise, great!
