Oregon inlet campground is a great place to go camp at the beach! The facilities are always clean and well kept. The dunes are beautiful!

Had a nice 9 day stay, some nice warm days for the season a a couple chilly ones. Had one night of some pretty bad wind, not much to break the wind at this campground. Overall a nice stay.....
Good

I've camped at Cape Hatteras National Seashore since the late 60s. Until recently, it's been an all-positive experience; however, in recent years, the Oregon Inlet Campground in particular has been overtaken by the dogs. I, too, am a pet owner, but the situation is out of control. While most dog owners pick up after Buster or Patch, it's the crap smear left behind that leaves gut worms and other pathogens for the little barefooted human children to run through and wedge between their toes. Then the joyful kids jump into a tent or an RV and spread more dog excrement into sleeping quarters. A few weeks ago, my wife and I tented at Oregon Inlet, and while we were there, a constant parade of canines yanked their owners to poop spots on OCCUPIED camping sites, between vehicles and RVs, while those other families were fixing breakfast. Dog owners scraped and clawed at soupy droppings, as campers not more than 12 feet away sipped coffee and munched on waffles. Clearly, the Park Service needs to rethink policies that allow for a major bio-hazard to proliferate where we eat and sleep. This is a disgusting situation that carries risk. Furthermore, the Park Service is so intent on preserving the coastal natural surroundings, yet campers wake up to barking dogs these days, rather than the chirps of shorebirds. It used to be that terns and gulls were inhabitants within the campground, but now it's dogs yipping and growling at one another. With its unfettered dog-allowance policies, the Park Service has effectively exiled wildlife from the campground to placate folks who simply cannot go anywhere without their "fur babies." Oregon Inlet campground has become a travel kennel. And good luck to those who are tenting at the campground; you will be hard pressed to find a patch of grass that doesn't have brown kill spots from dog urine. The answer is not to ban dogs, but to designate 1 of the 3 camping sections as dog-friendly, while banning them from other sections.

First time visitor. Beautiful campground with clean restrooms and showers. Sites are fairly close, but I did not mind. Bring extra stakes for the windy days.

Dog poo everywhere!! Our site had a camper next door and across the small road with big dogs staked out on 15 foot or more chains!! We love dogs but not the poo on our shoes and growls , barking every time we came out of our camper.

Convenient facilities in good proximity to every site. Easy walk to the beach. Located directly across from the fishing center.

Very nice campground, beautiful location ... clean, walk to the beach. The shower has HOT water... which I was not expecting. I only wish they had more electric hook up sites... Mid-October was beautiful weather wise... mid to high 70s only 1 day of rain.
@KathleenH93864 · Camped on Oct 5, 2020 at Campsite #C7

Great campground. Only spent one night but took a nice walk on the beach prior to hitting the road. The best part was the help we received from the attendant, Denise. It was raining and we just wanted a place to park for the night. They had spaces available but you had to make the reservation online. I was not able to make the reservation online for some reason (Denise stood at the truck window and watched me try to navigate the website, which could use a major over haul, and tried to help walk me through it. Just wouldn't work. She then suggested going thru the app, so I added that to my phone and Ipad and finally got it done after having to verify about a dozen times that I am not a robot!!! She stood out in the rain through the entire process (which took about 30 minutes) apologizing the entire time for not being able to make the reservation in person. Recreation.gov needs a major makeover in my book! Or just let us pay at the campsite!!!! Will no doubt use them again sometime in our travels--just hope it's a little easier next time!! Thanks again Denise!!!
