Bathrooms were clean and overall it was nice. They really need to keep the grass areas mowed better. There was no camp host, and no one showed up when we were told they would. The thorny spikes burr seeds were awful and got on everything including our dogs paws, it was terrible . Not sure what if anything they could do about that.

@StevenH4575591 · Camped on Jul 19, 2025 at Campsite #C5

Staff is very friendly. The campground and facilities are clean and well kept.

@AbbieW7155018 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #A6

Always a nice experience. Great campground for tents.

@LenaDC5455343A · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #A7

It was really nice. Like most places in outer banks you should bring sandals because sand spurs and eastern prickly pears are everywhere. If you are prepared this place can be really nice and the facility is well kept. Neighbors were all peaceful and quiet but Im sure that can change from week to week

@KellyL9368530 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #A32

Proximity to Roanoke Island and Nags Head is excellent. There's a nice trail to the beach. There is pedestrian access from the campground to the fishing center across the road. Also, Pea Island Nature Reserve is just over the bridge. I recommend wearing shoes at all times, as the sand spurs are vicious and numerous.

Oregon Inlet is one of my favorite campgrounds. Whats not to like, the grounds are well maintained, the beach is across the dunes and there is a ramp next door if you choose to drive in the beach

@ColleenB640551 · Camped on Jul 16, 2025 at Campsite #A10

What a gorgeous night - I came in pretty late at night and it was very easy to find the location of my campground with the helpful pictures on the booking website. The lack of light pollution made for amazing stargazing - it was the very beginning of the Perseids and I casually saw 2 shooting stars and could see the Milky Way. I would recommend to anyone who wants to see a more secluded side of the Outer Banks - I woke up early in the morning and went to Pea Island. There were so few other people there that it felt like a private beach - a private moment between the ocean and myself.

@ElliottW231880 · Camped on Jul 15, 2025 at Campsite #B4

I love the Oregon Inlet Campground. It really gives you the full effect of camping the Outer Banks. Lots to see and do between the fishing marina across the road to the Bodi Lighthouse down the street. Far enough away to feel like youre really out there but yet close enough to great beaches, towns, site seeing, fishing, kayaking and so much more. Ill be back.

@AlecR5B80386B2 · Camped on Jul 14, 2025 at Campsite #B15

Campground was quiet, clean, with well kept showers and bathrooms. Better signage needed for the water supply and dump station -- took some effort to find across the road.

@ToddH4266202 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #B33

Great spot! Clean and friendly staff too.

@LeaJBF0B4504DE · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #B25

We spent 9 days at the campground and it has some of the cleanest bathrooms and showers I have ever seen. You can walk or drive to the beach. Make sure you bring bug spray midges are terrible.

@JasonK9381533 · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #C19

We picked a fantastic campsite! Loved the open view looking towards the dune and seeing the moon rise each night. The location of the campground is nice, it's not on the main drag so it feels pretty remote. The new marina is VERY nice, stocked with most things you'll need. Very convenient to have the dump out station set up with gas pumps too! Having water and electric is a huge plus too! The campground was quiet, bathrooms mostly clean (a bit dated), and the outdoor showers were great! I love the breeze blowing in the shower stall, just adds to the beachy feel. We will definitely be back, and will try the off season.

@JenniferF67302 · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #B17

We popped down for a quick weekend. The campground is always nice, The bathhouses are clean and the outdoor showers are refreshing. Close to the 4wd beach. Only complaint this year were the insane amount of mosquitos.

@MitchellBB595E · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #C15

What a wonderful place to visit! People complain about the showers, but they were just part of a great overall experience!!

@RachelF314E3BC · Camped on Jul 8, 2025 at Campsite #C15

The whole camp ground was great! We were walking distance to the beach which was nice. The bathrooms were clean but the showers could use a trashcan or like a lost and found bucket nearby as alot of people seemed to leave personal items behind. The staff were amazing and kind and courteous. Overall our experience was fantastic! We would reccomend this place 10 out of 10!

@StevenH4575591 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #C21

Wonderful family campground. Warm showers. Dunes and beach nearby. Great price.

@BobF7273669 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #B15

I use Oregon Inlet campground as a base of operations for wildlife photography in the area, such as Alligator River NWR and Pungo Unit.

@BoC991922522F8 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #C30

Great place to stay. I like that you can walk or drive to the beach. Bugs can be a little aggressive if the wind dies down. Overall we will be back again for sure.

@KaylaA824EBD17 · Camped on Jul 4, 2025 at Campsite #A17

There were sand spurs everywhere in our campsite. Our toddler didnt leave the tent while at the campsite because he was so worried about stepping on them. It had rained the day before and the bugs were just horrendous getting into our tent. Ive been camping my whole life and never had bugs be that horrible in the tent. Ultimately we chose to cut it short.

@JustinB5311785 · Camped on Jul 4, 2025 at Campsite #C39

We have been coming here several times a year for the last several years. Very peaceful. Short walk over the dunes to the beach. Oregon Inlet Fishing center is right across the street and has many fishing and grocery items, as well as the Sea Chef restaurant. Bathrooms at the campground are always clean and stocked. Looking forward to our next trip!!

@JasonR9042744 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #B26

Nice campground with convenient and central location to the Outer Banks.

@VannessaM5ABB4 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #B30

Great camp site! We did tent camping and the site has water and electric hook up. I would recommend

@TJF1B7780EC292 · Camped on Jul 2, 2025 at Campsite #B9

We stayed for 2 nights and the first night was good aside from the rain and wind. But what can you do? The 2nd night was beautiful with neither wind nor rain but then the sun set. Holy moly were the mosquitoes crazy. Lucky for us we had a newer camper and sealed space but in the morning we found that 2 of our camping neighbors left to go to the Oregon Inlet fishing center to sleep in their cars. One couple even thought that they had parked over a nest or something. So just be aware that you need bug spray, repellent and a nice sealed off sleeping area. Other than that, which is obviously out of anyones control, the campground was wonderful. Clean bathrooms, scenic and considerate and friendly neighbors.

@GrayW8744FD787 · Camped on Jun 30, 2025 at Campsite #B31

The campground is well-maintained and the staff are friendly. The restrooms and showers are clean.It's very convenient to walk from the campsites to the beach using the marked trail. This campground is also very close to the Bodie Island lighthouse and the NH/KDH area for restaurants or groceries. It's definitely worth driving across the bridge to get a view of the inlet and beach from up high.We didn't go to the fishing center across the street, but it would certainly be convenient for a bite or resupplying. I also understand it's possible to launch a SUP or similar there to paddle around the sound side.

@LiviaS5CE8F1C2 · Camped on Jun 30, 2025 at Campsite #A12

The campground was okay, but the bathroom was clogged and my camping spot was covered in sandspurs.

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.
