I love this place. It is quiet & the stars are incredible. The cold showers are a little rough, but the restroom facilities are great. It's only a few minutes from Buxton & food/gas/restaurants, so it's the perfect amount of camping but not having to keep a bunch of food/supplies onhand b/c it's right up the street. Definitely worth it if you're there to mostly live on the beach & just need a place to sleep & use facilities. I will come back here as often as I can!

There is no hot water in the wash house or showers. How hard would it be to put a black cistern atop the shower houses?Otherwise a very nice campground
@AndrewF3500044 · Camped on Nov 23, 2025 at Campsite #J017
Most campsites in good shape, grounds well-kept. Facilities clean with flush toilets and cold, enclosed showers. The downside to this campground is that there is an ORV ramp at the back, which means trucks drive through at all hours of the night. The area is pretty stagnant, despite being on the coast, so mosquitoes are prevalent year-round.

We go in November. There is no one there and it is quiet and peaceful. As long as you are able to boondock, you will love the peace you find here.

Great campsite, me and a group of friends went here for a weekend trip to surf the outer banks and we had a great time. The campground is very chill, quiet and clean. It has all the amenities you could really need. There is no hot water in the showers, this was not a problem for us but it may be for others so I'd like to mention it.

Have stayed at Cape Point several times and it is always a great place to stay. We are in a popup camper and always look for a site close to bathroom and 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.

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.
