We stayed in site 39. We have a 40' 5th wheel. it was just long enough with wheels backed up to curb. The campground is a little tight with the sand dunes around and narrow roads, but no trees to worry about. Power and water were good. The dump station is across hwy 12 at the marina, go look if you can before driving rig over there because you have to negotiate through a parking lot to get to it. it was an easy walk over the dunes to the beach, with miles of beach to walk or drive if you have a vehicle for it and the permit. A lot of people surf fish here.there are tons of sand burs, goatheads, stickers, whatever you want to call them. So, take your shoes off before going in your rig.a few miles north is Nags Head and Kitty Hawk. The Wright Brothers Memorial and Jockey Ridge Sand Dunes. Lots of stores and shops in the city areas. Nothing much near the campground.

We had a nice stay at the campground. The staff was good at communicating changes regarding our registration and eventual cancellation. It was unclear which bathroom buildings were open and that the shower buildings were permanently closed.

@KenwynK8839150 · Camped on Jan 22, 2026 at Campsite #B21

The campground was great. It was the unexpected cold & windy weather that made it challenging! But the location was convenient, the beach was solitary and beautiful, and nature activities were plentiful. I hope to come back in a calmer time.

@MichaelM541440 · Camped on Jan 12, 2026 at Campsite #B32

I have always loved this place!I did have an issue this trip which may keep me away. Coyotes. My dog needed to go out around midnight, we were staying on B loop, when we reached the side near the dunes , a pack of coyotes started howling and yipping. They were running along the top of the dunes. Very worried about them coming down into the campground.

@JamesJ5898180 · Camped on Jan 11, 2026 at Campsite #B27

I was here in January, it was wonderful that it was open and had spaces easily available. There is a not a path the bathroom. You have to walk through a camp space to get to it. That is kind of awkward. During my visit only out door showers were available and they were closed. I enjoyed the area, and it was nice being so close to the beach.

@DeborahB541180 · Camped on Jan 2, 2026 at Campsite #B33

I needed a location near Alligator River and this was a perfect quiet place, where I could also walk on the beach and listen to Killdeer.

@RyanM4917925 · Camped on Dec 31, 2025 at Campsite #C17

Wonderful location to wake up on New Years Day. Camp Host was fantastic. Will 100% stay again.

@MichaelW725874 · Camped on Dec 31, 2025 at Campsite #B39

Very nice campground, beach is wonderful, camp host and family very nice, bathroom nice considering its winter. Only downside is the sand spurs. They are everywhere, Shoes, trailer, pups paws. and they hurt. Otherwise very nice, close to nags head for shopping, dump station across the street and easily accessible. Just those sand spurs, ugg:)

@LynnK6100232 · Camped on Dec 31, 2025 at Campsite #C37

Easy to book reservations and park was very clean and nice.

@BobF7273669 · Camped on Dec 29, 2025 at Campsite #B32

I use the Oregon Inlet Campground as a base of operations for photography. I have a lifetime national parks pass, so my cost is less. I recommend them.

@jeremyj6006560 · Camped on Dec 27, 2025 at Campsite #B33

Always a great time at Oregon Inlet Campground. This was The Weekend after Christmas so the campground was not very full, the restrooms in B loop were not attended to the whole trip this time. Campers were respectful of the facility so it wasnt awful but it was noticeable. Other than that everything was perfect.

@AmirFAA71DA1C5 · Camped on Dec 24, 2025 at Campsite #B18

site was clean. The staff was friendly and professional.

@MatthewF544540 · Camped on Dec 23, 2025 at Campsite #C32

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.

@JeffO643462914 · Camped on Dec 22, 2025 at Campsite #B25

No showers, no hot water, no staff present on arrival, no water on site (turned it on with help from another camper. Beautiful location.

@TracyC8170684 · Camped on Dec 21, 2025 at Campsite #A28

I had a great stay at Oregon Inlet Campground. A bit of a walk to get to the restrooms from Loop A, but I didn't want to pay the extra fee to tent camp in an RV site. There were very few people camping, which made for a nice, quiet weekend getaway. I was lucky to have a site with very few sandspurs. A caution if you are bringing pets - there are a LOT of sandspurs (at least in Loop A); I had to stop constantly to pull them off my dog's paws on a quick walk around the loop. I would bring paw protection for pets. Overall, a nice, affordable stay on the outerbanks. I will be back.

@EricS9323236 · Camped on Dec 20, 2025 at Campsite #C13

Absolutely love it here ! Great campground, clean bathrooms and awesome camp hosts ! We come every year for 2 weeks for Christmas and this was our 5th year of doing so and already looking for next year. No complaints, just happy campers !

@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!

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.
