The campground is crowded in summer but we went in December and it was nice. Plenty of open space. We do wish there was a TV cable connection but otherwise this is a great location, close to everything.

@RobertB6182770 · Camped on Dec 19, 2025 at Campsite #C19

I selected this campground because the website recreation.gov said that the showers in circle B were open. They were not.Great campground, great location but not so great when you cant shower.

@EricM3719593 · Camped on Dec 19, 2025 at Campsite #A2

Love this campsite. It is absolutely beautiful.

@TreyW1D6D463B3 · Camped on Dec 13, 2025 at Campsite #C3

We visited to watch the Gemenid meteor shower. It was a great site for star viewing. The bathrooms were clean and warm during our winter stay.

@RobertB6182770 · Camped on Dec 8, 2025 at Campsite #B39

Great campground

@JamesG6676411 · Camped on Dec 8, 2025 at Campsite #B33

Central location for several of our destinations this trip- Kitty Hawk, Buxton, and Manns Harbor. The campsites are all beautiful as they are nestled in the dunes and the night sky is breathtaking. Fellow campers were pleasant and the rangers very helpful!

@AlDC79057D73FF · Camped on Nov 26, 2025 at Campsite #B12

Wasnt what I had hoped for. The beauty of the dunes and the sound of the ocean nearby is the only reason for giving 2 Stars. The site has too many pads placed too close together. This means more inconsiderate people are sure to be a constant annoyance.To make matters worse, a late arrival (8 hours late!) started setting up his campsite at midnight. The sound of the ocean and the site, with its beautiful dunes was overwhelmed by the sound of tone deaf visitors setting up their site in the middle of night. Too many people! I prefer a more off grid experience and cannot imagine what a visit in summer would be like for people who like their privacy.

@MichaelS838841 · Camped on Nov 26, 2025 at Campsite #C26

Wish it was a little warmer but it was a great Thanksgiving weekend at the beach.

@ErinR5231763 · Camped on Nov 25, 2025 at Campsite #B14

I arrived in the dark and found everything easy to access. The Campground was totally free of trash and a short walk to the beach. My non electric B14 site bordered the dunes where I could also see the lighthouse. The Beach was quiet and the campground is close to beach vehicle ramp access if you need it. Bathrooms were spotless, trash cans empty. In November its pretty slow at the campground so everybody there had plenty of space. I could see this being a more challenging place in the summer with no shade, near hwy 12 noise/traffic and lots of sites close together. Thanks to the hosts and rangers who are working in extremely difficult circumstances to give us wonderful recreation areas like this. Your work is appreciated! I would love to return here in the off season really memorable experience.

@RogerC4303359 · Camped on Nov 24, 2025 at Campsite #C14

Spent four days/three nights in our 16' trailer at site C14 over Thanksgiving week. Pad is paved and fairly level, with limited but barely adequate room for backing (would not want to try it with a large rig when the place is crowded). Water pressure was fair (sometimes had to supplement with onboard tank pump) and power was clean (no sewer hook-up; dump station at the marina across the highway). Weather started out cool but pleasant, turning bitter cold on Friday (30 degrees with 30 MPH winds: I call that bitter). Outdoor shower rooms were closed. Men's and ladies' rooms were not heated. Be careful walking your dog: sand spurs are pretty much everywhere. Felt very comfortable and safe while there. Easy if moderately long walk to the actual beach. Strand is very wide, though. Overall a pleasant stay, but, with our small-capacity combined black/grey tank, we really prefer full hook-ups. Even so, we were able to conserve (as in not shower!) and were careful about collecting all grey water.

@JohnB8383631 · Camped on Nov 24, 2025 at Campsite #B35

Had a great time. Went to the graveyard of the Atlantic museum. Very interesting look into history of the outer banks. Love how close the beach is from camp grounds and like the sand dunes.

@GinaH4468625 · Camped on Nov 24, 2025 at Campsite #C25

Disappointed with showers. Outdoor ones were closed down and there were no indoor showers.

@CaryN494DC1978 · Camped on Nov 22, 2025 at Campsite #C21

Good place to camp, just the way it is. Beautiful area for getting away to relax. Park personnel friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful if needed.

@CaseyR8376957 · Camped on Nov 21, 2025 at Campsite #B18

No wood fires allowed. Showers were shut down two days before we arrived. Nothing on the website about them closing.

@ErinM5857984 · Camped on Nov 20, 2025 at Campsite #C27

Very nice campground. Already planning our next trip!

@RogerH7061222 · Camped on Nov 19, 2025 at Campsite #C4

Nice campground in a gorgeous location. Well kept campsites and clean bathrooms with HEATED SHOWERS, although they are open to the outside and you get cold. Still that's much better than Ocracoke, that only has cold showers.

@PAULL8120165 · Camped on Nov 18, 2025 at Campsite #C23

Nestled in the dunes with a short walk to the beach couldnt be better.

@DavidW7736336 · Camped on Nov 18, 2025 at Campsite #B23

We love staying at Oregon Inlet and have been coming for many years. On the whole our experience was great and the restrooms were always spotless. However, on the road in front of our campsite #B23, there were two huge potholes. We stayed for ten days and didnt see anyone long enough to be able to tell them about it. They could have been filled temporarily with gravel and anyone like a host or ranger would have seen them. I realize that there are financial issues within the park service but feel that this is quite a serious issue and a friend of ours slipped down into the pothole while walking at night.

@HubertB3670056 · Camped on Nov 17, 2025 at Campsite #C29

This campground was great. From here we got to see the Outer Banks from one point to the other. Nags Head, Duck, Wright Brothers Memorial, Hatteras Lighthouse, etc. Nice clean sites with power and water. We would definitely stay again. Also half price with our America the Beautiful Pass.

@RichardB341941 · Camped on Nov 15, 2025 at Campsite #C28

THE SHOWERS COULD USE AN UPGRADE TO INCLUDE NORMAL PREASURE.

@MarkD7704923 · Camped on Nov 14, 2025 at Campsite #C31

Very nice campground, short walk to the ocean, plenty of space between campsites, a mother bear and her 2 cubs crossed the road in front of us at the Alligator River Refuge.just a great time

@RobertA1820332 · Camped on Nov 13, 2025 at Campsite #B43

Campsites are small. The area next to the paved parking is not very level so it was hard to set up the site. Worst of all, the grass near the site was full of goatheads, small sharp burrs that the dog picked up on her paws and fur. We had to remove all of those and keep her off the ground unless we carried her to the road. We also had to take our shoes off every time we went in the camper so as not to carry them inside. The bathhouse was clean enough. The dump station is up the road near the bridge. It looks like a two side access but one dump hole is cemented over so its really on a single.

@CindyS1337188 · Camped on Nov 13, 2025 at Campsite #C45

Beautiful park, easy beach access.

@BarbaraJ861939 · Camped on Nov 11, 2025 at Campsite #B15

Clean restrooms, great location, loved the Marina, restaurant, dump station and gas across the street.The beach was just over the dunes.

@lisag1860020 · Camped on Nov 11, 2025 at Campsite #C10

Loved the location right on the beach. Tried to retake a shower but they are outside with half doors and no temperature control and you have to pull on a circular ring on a chain to get water and keep it down somehow while showering. Old!!!! I did not attempt this in November, just sayin!

@ChazInSoCal - CA

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
