Nice campground with water and electric. Nice sites. Windy. Cell service is very good. Newly remodeled dump station at Marina nearby. Wish access to beach was easier. Overall good campground. Recommended

Clean and quiet. I'll be back!

@RobertC4745893 · Camped on Apr 17, 2026 at Campsite #B40
Nice, clean camp ground. Well groomed. Drive way good. Picnic table in good shape. Hook ups good. Only problem is lack of shade from sun.
@SharonS7186721 · Camped on Apr 16, 2026 at Campsite #C1
This campground is a hidden gem! Right on the Outer Banks with clean campsites, flush toilets, hot showers, and most importantly right on the ocean! We will certainly be making another trip to this location!
@MICHAELE815689 · Camped on Apr 15, 2026 at Campsite #B6
Great spot. Enjoyed the short hike to the ocean and the pelicans. Beautiful views and sunrise.
Good
@GabrielA7FB70D · Camped on Apr 14, 2026 at Campsite #A25
Absolutely fantastic campsite where you feel in the wild only 15 min from Nags Head and Rodanthe. It's a good base camp for trips to Hatteras (1 hr), Roanoke Island (20 min), and up to Nags Head and Kittyhawk (20 min)The sites are nestled in sand dunes, but there are no trees or shelter. Also, you need to watch out for the sand spurs anytime you're not on sand (watch out for the pups especially). The trail to the beach is a bit of a walk, but it's a very beautiful one. The road is nearby, so you do have some sound pollution at night, but there is very limited light pollution, causing a beautifully bright display at night. The bathroom and shower facilities are clean and updated (plus the outdoor shower has nice warm water).

Our stay at this campsite was absolutely wonderful! Everything was super clean, the facilities were spotless, especially the toilets honestly, the cleanest weve seen. The whole place felt really well taken care of, and the vibe was just perfect. We loved every minute of it and will definitely try to come back again. Highly recommend!
@SheriF130BD965 · Camped on Apr 13, 2026 at Campsite #B12
We had a wonderful stay at Oregon Inlet Campground. Facilities are nice, the staff we spoke to were very friendly. Can't wait to get back soon.
@FlorenceM486F3 · Camped on Apr 13, 2026 at Campsite #B8
Beautiful and convenient campground. Could benefit from a little wood partition or bushes between sites for more privacy. Nice rangers!
@DanielR3951934 · Camped on Apr 12, 2026 at Campsite #B23
Staying at Oregon Inlet is always an enjoyable experience. The facilities are well maintained and the oceanfront landscape is unparalleled. I only wish that the generator usage policy (which is all times outside of quiet hours of 10 pm to 6 am) was amended to discourage loud and continuous generator use during all other hours. That was the situation we encountered for at least 4 of the 6 days we were staying at the campground.
@PamelaG4847475 · Camped on Apr 12, 2026 at Campsite #B11
Picked up a bucket load of trash at the site.
@NancyE54212837 · Camped on Apr 11, 2026 at Campsite #C13
My original reservation was for two nights, but after arriving I knew I wanted to stay longer.Great campground right behind the dunes on the beach. Some sites have power and water hookups. Restrooms are clean and there are showers.Concessions and restaurant with tackle store and gas station are just down the road.Bodie lighthouse is just two miles away. Being in the middle of the islands, it is a great place to explore in either direction to Ocracoke or up to Kitty Hawk and Corolla.Would stay here again
@PeggyM2002705 · Camped on Apr 11, 2026 at Campsite #B6
For visiting the Outer Banks area, this campsite is well situated for traveling north & south, as well as accessing the beach. A short drive to a dump/water station, away from the beach, should be expected. Nice night skies! Friendly staff with helpful hints for sightseeing too!
@JosephC1997223 · Camped on Apr 10, 2026 at Campsite #A16
Great site. There's a dune next to the site on one side that gives shade later in the day.
@JaneO99C85BAFA · Camped on Apr 10, 2026 at Campsite #A23
Favorite campground on the Natl Seashore. Love camping close to the dunes and hearing the ocean at night. Bathroom/shower facilities are clean and easily accessible.
@AnneMariEB3F8F · Camped on Apr 8, 2026 at Campsite #A10
Everything was ok. I just stayed one night
@JillW2800999 · Camped on Apr 8, 2026 at Campsite #B23
Great campground cant wait to go again!
@MaryS3622227 · Camped on Apr 7, 2026 at Campsite #C14
The sites are spacious with green space behind the sites. Each loops bathhouse is conveniently located for access to the campsites. The only drawback is the narrow road makes it challenging to back a camper into some sites. It would also be nice to have a dump station somewhere within the campground as opposed to across the road at the marina.
@KathyE7166004 · Camped on Apr 7, 2026 at Campsite #C29
Very nice campground!

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
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!!!
