    Virginia Beach KOA

    Great place

    Great location, very close to the beach. Staff was pleasant, and accomodations were nice. Some site are a bit close to a busy road, and you get road noise. But if you ask to be in the back of park, it is quiet. Paved roads and have premium sites that are paved, with concrete pads and beautiful furniture, along with cooking fire pit. Other pull thru sites are gravel and grass. Wifi was awesome. Best yet at campsite. Very clean. Would recommend this site

    Cape Hatteras/Outer Banks KOA Resort

    Great Ocean Beach Destination

    Great KOA park with one row of dunes to cross to the ocean beach that depending on your site is only about 5 min walk. The park is well kept with clean bathrooms and showers. The have laundry and a very nice camp store with groceries, camping essentials and gifts. Sites are level with full hookups including cable that worked well. Wifi is marginal but they reported they have equipment on order to improve. We had spot along the dunes with covered patio with picnic table and a fire ring (no barbeques). The beach is wonderful. Great restful destination. We will definitely return.

    Oregon Inlet Campground — Cape Hatteras National Seashore

    Location Is A Five

    Oregon Inlet in Hatteras NSS, NC.: Great beach and Kitty Hawk nearby. We like this campground even though sites are pretty tight. We have been here later in November in the past. The weather was much cooler, but this campground is pretty empty then.
    (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good (70 yr olds in 17’ trailer). I rate based on desire for at least a moderate wilderness type experience w at least some camp site privacy. Overall Rating: 3.5 Price 2023: $ 14 w interagency pass for non electric sites Usage during visit: 95% full. Site Privacy: Not good Site Spacing: Sites along the dunes are pretty close. Site surface: Blacktop Reservations: Required Campground Noise: Quiet Road Noise: Noticeable throughout B and C loops. I’ll leave Loop A to be evaluated by tent campers. Homey, I will say to choose a site away from Hwy 12.
    Through Traffic in campground: None Electric Hookup: Some sites. See my map in pictures Sewer Hookup: No Dump Station: Yes. It is across the highway to the south of the campground. Potable Water Available: At the dump station and near the restrooms. Generators: Allowed.
    Bathroom: Clean flush toilets. Showers: Yes, but a gap between the roof and walls makes for a cold experience this time of year with the wind. Pull Throughs: No Cell Service (AT&T): 2 to 3 bars. Setting: A pretty area between Highway 12 and the dunes. Weather: Highs in upper 60s. Lows are in mid 50s Bugs: A couple mosquitoes. Wind has probably kept them at bay. Solar: Great when not too cloudy.
    Host: They are super.
    Rig size: Large rigs can fit in many spots. Sites: See my map in my attached pictures: Circled sites B2 - 20 back right up to the dunes. C1 -21 have a broader view of the beautiful dunes with 5 - 21 in this group a bit larger sites. B 22 and24 are getting closer to the dunes. I like all these sites in comparison to the others. However, I appreciate being backed right up to the dunes. Site B4 is the best site, in my opinion. Rig size is limited for this site. It’s not deep, Punic table is near campground road, but isolated from B2 on the picnic side by a dune . B2 is a good site. Picnic area is private from adjacent site, but not from vehicles driving by.


Guide to Duck

Camping options near Duck, North Carolina include several RV sites within a 45-minute drive of this northern Outer Banks town. The Outer Banks region sits on a thin barrier island chain with the Atlantic Ocean to the east and various sounds to the west. Most campgrounds sit at sea level with sandy soil, and summer temperatures average 85°F with high humidity from June through September.

What to do

Beach access: Guests at Camp Hatteras RV Resort and Campground enjoy direct beach access. "I had a great site right next to the dunes. I could hear the pounding of the surf from my van. Only a minute to get to the beach," notes one visitor. Separate beach access on both the sound and ocean sides provides varied swimming options.

Fishing opportunities: Multiple campgrounds offer fishing access from private docks. At OBX Campground, visitors can fish directly from the property. "There is an area of water (Kitty Hawk bay) with the dock that you can fish from on the campground," reports one camper. Billies Seafood is nearby for fresh local catch if fishing isn't successful.

Wright Brothers Memorial: Several campgrounds provide convenient access to historical sites. "OBX is very close driving to public beach accesses (2 miles), close to so much, around the corner from the Wright Memorial," explains one visitor. The memorial is approximately 5-10 minutes from OBX Campground.

What campers like

Water views: Many visitors specifically request waterfront sites. At Outer Banks West - Currituck Sound KOA, "We were right on the water and loved our view of Currituck Sound!" notes one reviewer. The campground offers premium waterfront spots with sunset views over the sound.

Wildlife sightings: Natural settings provide opportunities to observe local wildlife. "A small group of deer were hanging around our campsite when we drove up and zipped off into the tall sea grass. Once dusk fell and we were set up they came back out to graze," reports one camper at OBX Campground.

Clean facilities: Newer campgrounds often feature updated amenities. At Beechland Campground, "The hook ups all looked new and this may have been the cleanest camp ground I've ever stayed at. The bathrooms, showers and pool were pristine. We saw a staff member cleaning them every day at 9am."

What you should know

Seasonal insects: Bug activity increases during warmer months. At Outer Banks West - Currituck Sound KOA, one visitor notes, "When we were there the midgets were so bad our RV was covered in them at night." Bug spray is essential during summer months.

Proximity to beaches: Not all campgrounds provide direct beach access. "If you want a place right on the beach, this isn't for you," explains one OBX Campground visitor. Most require a short drive to public beach access points.

Site assignment practices: Some campgrounds don't assign specific sites until arrival. At Camp Hatteras RV Resort and Campground, one visitor reports, "Paid for oceanfront and got site 38 which is further away from ocean than second row- only to see 2-3 front row sites set empty our entire weekend. They do not assign sites until arrival."

Cell service considerations: Coverage varies by provider across the region. "AT&T had 2 bars and 6 MB/s w/o a booster, 2 bars and 8 MB/s with it," reports one OBX Campground visitor. Verizon users may experience more limited service in certain areas.

Tips for camping with families

Pool availability: Several campgrounds offer swimming pools as alternatives to beach swimming. At Virginia Beach RV Resort, "Pools were nice and never really crowded," according to one reviewer. Some facilities include both indoor and outdoor pools.

Playground options: Family-friendly campgrounds typically include play areas. "Small playground and waterfront picnic area for the kids to play," notes one OBX Campground visitor. Most playgrounds are basic but functional for younger children.

Educational opportunities: The Outer Banks offers several historical sites within short driving distance. "About an hour drive to Cape Hatteras, 20 minutes to Jennette's pier, and 5-10 minutes drive to Wright brothers first flight and grocery store," explains an OBX Campground visitor.

Kid-friendly activities: Some campgrounds organize regular events for children. At Camp Hatteras, one visitor shares, "So many amenities and fun things planned for Easter weekend. Staff is super friendly and welcoming."

Tips from RVers

Leveling considerations: Most rv sites near Duck, North Carolina have level pads. "The sites are level and had full hookups," notes one visitor to OBX Campground. Gravel is the most common surface material for pads throughout the region.

Site spacing: Privacy levels vary significantly between campgrounds. At North Landing Beach, sites offer more room: "The sites are all level with good space between," according to visitors. This contrasts with some oceanfront locations where sites are closer together.

RV site surfaces: Surface materials impact setup and cleanliness. "The site pads are dirt/sand and partial grass," reports one reviewer. Sandy sites may track more material into RVs during your stay.

Hookup configurations: Most campgrounds near Duck offer full hookups. "The sites are FHU with 50A service," notes one OBX Campground visitor. Water, electric, and sewer connections are standard at most RV parks in the region.
