About

The Refuge on Roanoke Island is a camping community located in the fishing Village of Wanchese, North Carolina. We welcome you to stay for the night, a week, or pick your favorite spot to reserve all year long. We have 59 sites with full hookups, 44 are year long leases, and the rest are waterfront and available for daily campers.

We are getting ready for the season here on the beautiful Outer Banks and couldn't be more excited to see what next year has to offer. The plants, bushes and trees are starting to fill out and the flowers will be blooming again before you know it. Check out our "Features" page to find out all of the great amenities you will find here at The Refuge. Hope to see you soon!

Got that Peaceful Easy Feeling

This is the place you’ll want to have at the very least a 2nd home. Buy another RV and rent a year round spot because your gonna come back. A lot. Love it here.

RVs Only / Strict & unwelcoming

Mostly full time RVs, in a tight knit, very small/super quiet community. Its an RV community (nice RVS only) not a campground. We felt like outsiders on our own site. Strict management, always watching you, it was really an unenjoyable stay. Our site was pretty on the pond, thats why im giving 2 stars. No fires allowed. No tents allowed, and don't touch the grass! They are watching. The management had a problem with our camp van. Really can't express enough how rude management was. VERY judgemental and controlling, and if you don't fit in, they let you know. I was googling other campgrounds in the area within 5 minutes of being there. (Outer banks Campground is where we are trying next)
