Great spot but wicked cold showers.
@AndriaAD5626D5 · Camped on Jun 4, 2025 at Campsite #B37
This park is one of the best national park campgrounds, offering direct access to natural resources, friendly staff, and clean accommodations.
@ChrisB5203459 · Camped on Jun 2, 2025 at Campsite #C14
This campground is simply amazing. Generously spaced camping spots and a short walk to the beach. Rangers and hosts were very friendly and helpful and were present each day up keeping the property.

The showers could be a lot better and more of them .
@AnnaM2451476 · Camped on Jun 1, 2025 at Campsite #A23
Such a beautiful campground-the sites are nice, so close to the beach. And the bathrooms are clean. I thoroughly enjoyed my overnight stay-wish I would have stayed longer!
@MeredithB44F51 · Camped on May 31, 2025 at Campsite #A33
Beautiful but be prepared for weather if youre tent camping. Sand stakes are needed.
@LowellHA010750 · Camped on May 27, 2025 at Campsite #C31
The rangers and volunteers were excellent and helpful!
@WilliamJ242827 · Camped on May 27, 2025 at Campsite #B17
The campground was quite nice and we enjoyed our time there. I gave it only 4 stars because (a) we received notice on our day of arrival that the sewer dump and potable water were unavailable until further notice, and (b) our site (B27) could use some work. The permanent grill was leaning badly, and during heavy rain the rear of the asphalt drive ponded badly. We do plan to go back next year.
@LauraH2152556 · Camped on May 27, 2025 at Campsite #B43
Good location. The dump station was closed which caused an inconvenience and the public showers were outside and terrible.
@BryanOBD624367 · Camped on May 26, 2025 at Campsite #C18
Nice Site.

Great camping spot!

The campground was beautiful, clean, and had a nice vibe. We stayed there with our diverse family of four. There were groups of young kids, diverse families, and women. I appreciate seeing all of that at a campground, as it demonstrates a level of safety. There are large bathrooms with 2 sinks and 3 toilets. There are 3 shower stalls in a separate shower house, but beware, only a couple stalls have hot water. Make sure you pack spikes to secure your tent and canopy due to the breeze. I am not a fan of drive on beaches, which is the beach right beyond the dunes. I enjoys going down to the lighthouse beach better, no cars allowed. We loved the town of Rodanthe. Rented a boat there on day. Would absolutely go back to this campground.

Beach is awesome, however if you're walking from the campground to the beach the sand is very deep with ruts from vehicles driving over it. Once you get near the water its great. Maybe a 5 minute walk to the beach, we did encounter those nasty biting sand flies. Fine while you're walking, but be prepared if you stand still or sit around. Lots of repellent is in order. But the quiet beach, views and location can't be beat. Also the showers are great here, nice and hot, plenty of water. Bathrooms were well kept.
@lauriew444CFA0 · Camped on May 21, 2025 at Campsite #B10
What a beautiful stay. We would come here again anytime!
@DaleY151A80CEE · Camped on May 19, 2025 at Campsite #B28
What an awesome place! Exactly what an Outer Banks campground should be.My site was no-hookups because it was a last minute booking, but I was immediately adjacent to the clean, well maintained bath house. I enjoyed how the campground was integrated into the existing dunes. This made the sites feel more private than they otherwise would have.The campground is a moderate walk (10 minutes thru deep sand) to the most pristine, uncrowded, undeveloped beach. Not a building in sight. If you are looking for a Myrtle Beach kind of experience, go there. But if youd like a few days with no crowds, this is the place.The campground is a short drive to more developed areas with restaurants, shopping, etc.
@ThomasL2772337 · Camped on May 19, 2025 at Campsite #C11
Beautiful sunsets
@ErnestW3AA423E · Camped on May 19, 2025 at Campsite #B14
Not much privacy or shade but had clean bathrooms, warm showers, and charcoal grills. Beach is just a short walk over the dunes.
@RandallDA8CCFE · Camped on May 18, 2025 at Campsite #B37
Great place! Staff was outstanding and the campground was clean and well kept. We camp in a Class C Motorhome with the electric and water hookups. Had a 5G signal on Verizon network. Will be using this campground for my visits to the Outer Banks.
@EugeneC2F7B606 · Camped on May 17, 2025 at Campsite #B14
This is a great place to spend a few days right by the beaches of The Outer Banks. Everything was perfect when we camped there. Washrooms were clean, showers worked well. There is no shaded area so be prepared if you only have tents. Lots of mosquitos and other insects that can be an issue if you don't have the proper insect repellent. Will be back again next year.

Had fun

We had a great time at Oregon inlet. Park rangers were very helpful. The animals were quiet and the people were nice.

Part of the problem was terrible weather which the campground cannot be responsible for however, preparing campsites so they won't be too susceptible to issues would be the prudent thing to do. The campground was poor at best because of this lack of preparedness for bad weather. They would be okay for dry weather. Our campsite was well below water from the rain received before and during our arrival. Furthermore, the stated length of the site did not fully contain the trailer as the hitch stuck out in the loop road. Adding to the frustration of this campground was that your vehicles could not be parked next to the camper unless it was on the campsite on the same surface of the camper. On top of that, being a non electric site was that we were told that generators could not be used during quiet hours of 10pm-6pm or 11pm-7am.....I don't remember exactly what they said they were. I did not see that anywhere in the online description of the campsite and was not aware of that until checking in. I could deal with that but not to be made aware of that until check in is not good. Now I am sure these would be pretty decent campgrounds under good or ideal weather but how about using some of those millions of dollars we send overseas to just make these campgrounds a little better, liking adding water and electric to all the sites. If I was tent camping then I would expect to be roughing it more but when you are in a Class A or C motorhome or a travel trailer, you do expect a little more. Now this is no fault of the park rangers and the volunteers who were absolutely great. They are dealing with the limitations they have at hand. Good people!

No complaints at all ... the campground is close to Coquina and Pea Island beaches, Fishing is just over the dunes for surf casting, or across NC12 for sound fishing. All the campers were respectful of everyone (nobody playing loud music, fireworks, drinking games and loud conversations) . I had a nice stay while I was there .

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@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.
