Beach is wonderful but it was a bit breezy. Lots of things to do and see along the Other Banks.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:)

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!!!
