Near the sand dunes. Ocean not far away. Starry night sky. But the grass-like vegetation growing around seems to produce many small thorns. Could be difficult for families with young children.

Pros- Good location close to beach. Decent bathrooms. Generally clean.Cons- Sites are very close together, privacy is non-existent. Have to listen to boom-boom-boom of fellow camper's music. Also, highway noise drowns out nature. Traffic did thin out around 2am-4am, so could hear the ocean surf then... but otherwise puts a damper on the experience.

Great price with senior America the Beautiful card. Water & electric, no sewer. Nice place, on the ocean. No ammenities, but comfortable, clean bathhouses. NO bugs in October. Good beach, close to Nags Head, Ktty Hawk etc. Drivable beach. Dump station across street. Move the garbage dumpsters, they are in the way/road.

Loved the location! Campground was clean.

Close walk to beach. Dump station across street has plenty of room to maneuver.

It is beautiful campground I can say on the beach . With hot shower
@ChrisV1496137 · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #B18
The campground was clean and quiet. The bathrooms and shower were close to the campsites. Bathrooms and showers were also clean and everything functioned. Im not sure why the website said they had no hot water. It was 65 degrees, rainy and windy when we went and my wive and I both had a nice warm shower.

The campsites were fine; keep in mind that this area can be fairly windy so you may not be able to use your awnings or screened tents, etc. For RVs, this was good, just bring an auxiliary septic/gray water tank if you plan to stay long.

We enjoyed our camping stay in the Oregon Inlet. Our site was level with ample room. It was safe and quiet. It was only a short walk to the beach and Marina. We would enjoy going back but it was a fluke we found 2 nights available. Its difficult finding a site.

what a wonderful location for a campground. Beautiful surroundings and only feet from Long Beach walks, sunrises and sunsets.
@CherylCD40931F · Camped on Oct 5, 2025 at Campsite #B32
We are just eager for you to open back up to make next years reservations :)

Super spot for camping by the beach! Clean, quiet, good facilities. We will be back again. Robert

Wonderful location. It would be nice to have some lighting in the shower houses though so that you did not have to shower in the middle of the day. Park Personnel checked with us because he heard of some electrical problems. We had no issues, but it was nice of him to check with us. We enjoyed our stay and the rates are fabulous for senior citizens.

Great place. Park Rangers were very helpful
@GregoryH810400 · Camped on Sep 25, 2025 at Campsite #A27
As always, a fantastic time staying at the Oregon Inlet Campground. The facilities are top notch and clean, the customer service folks are friendly and helpful, and the setting is without compare. We've been coming here for over a decade, and will continue to in the future!

Still getting nuts out of carpets
@GeorgeM2930002 · Camped on Sep 25, 2025 at Campsite #B9
Nice facility, many things to do in the area
@RogerF3989155 · Camped on Sep 24, 2025 at Campsite #B17
It was a good one night stay and the warm showers were wonderful. We were lucky enough to get one of the water/electric hookup sites. Some sites were not very level - however we had a very level site this time.
@DenisAF71D279F · Camped on Sep 22, 2025 at Campsite #B22
Everything was great
@SherryM3096021 · Camped on Sep 21, 2025 at Campsite #C32
We were fortunate enough to get an electric site. Also would recommend the short drive to get to the beach. Left from campground and next left to parking with short walk to a beautiful beach. Was so happy for the free warm showers.
@DavidT5110185 · Camped on Sep 21, 2025 at Campsite #A28
The staff and the cleanliness of the facilities were amazing. We had a very enjoyable stay and would recommend the campground to anyone.
@LarryH7319029 · Camped on Sep 21, 2025 at Campsite #B23
Great campground. Shower houses could use some work.
@NickB3851959 · Camped on Sep 19, 2025 at Campsite #B4
My wife and I had a wonderful time at Oregon Inlet Campground. Making the reservation was easy, self check-in was a breeze, and the grounds and restrooms were well-kept. Having the beach just a quick but adventurous walk through the dunes was perfect. We will definitely be back.

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.

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

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
