I visited well before the recent hurricanes when water was just typical of the season. Despite this, the lower area, more wooded and appealing to tent campers was partially boggy and marshy, leaving it unavailable for camping.

I looked further for another campsite for my evening of camping and ended up in the open area, which provided little to no overhead coverage and closer neighbors. It was ok, but the sites in the trees would have been much better because they were more spread out.

Ending up in the open clearing, I was very close to the parking lot, which was great for moving my camping materials, however late in the evening people pulling in nearly blinded me, because there was no break from their headlights.

I asked if there were other options the next morning and staff was not the most helpful or friendly. I had considered saying a second night in the area to see more of the awesome things in the Kitty Hawk area, but because this sites wasn't helpful in accommodating me in a less trafficked area and didn't even seem to want to speak to me in regard to this and because other camps in the are did not allow tents, I ended up moving on instead and missing out on the things which could have been.

Camping in this area is tough, it could have been completely different if it had not been so wet!!
