My family and I spent five days in early December at this gorgeous campground. It was perfect! We arrived late which was no problem with their contactless check in. The rv spots are flat and clearly marked and very easy full hook ups. We pretty much had the place to ourselves due to the season. We were steps from the beach and enjoyed fishing, shell searching, and the beautiful views. The grounds have mini golf, tennis and basketball courts which the kids loved. Everything was extraordinarily clean. We will definitely be back!

Been a seasonal site camper here for 3 years, stunning views of the Pamlico sound, great access to the ocean, sound and NC 12. Great staff, bathhouses, laundry facilities, etc. Quiet campground and great reasonable rates. We love it and plan to be there long term! Great for windsurfing, kite boarding, paddle boarding!

This is by far the best campground I have stayed at. Lots to do, right here at your home away from home. The campground hosts several activities. Currituck Ferry is 10 miles away. After a 45 minute ferry ride, you are only a few miles from Kitty Hawk. Va Beach is 30 minutes up the road. The military aviation museum is 10 minutes away. A word of caution though. If you are coming from I-64, go to exit 286-B which will put you on Indian River Rd. Follow this til you turn right in Princess Anne Rd, then follow til you get here. Take your time driving. The vast majority of the roads leading here are very rough, and you can damage your rig like I did. This trip was well worth it. My wife and I have had the vacation of our lives. We are already making plans to come back.

GuideCamp Hatteras RV Resort is incredibly large. You can stay beachfront or you can stay sound front. This is the largest campground we have ever stayed at. And from the sound of it, it is always jampacked.
We selected to stay sound front because we were interested in paddle boarding on the on sound. Plus, if you stay on the sound side, you get beautiful sunsets.
It is definitely a hike if you stay on the sound side to get beachfront. We rode our bikes over there each day and it was work, considering we were carrying our beach chairs and beach supplies.
They had a really great food truck on site. You could get breakfast, lunch and dinner there.
They had a very large dog playground that was well-maintained, as well as other amenities like a basketball court, miniature golf , shuffle board and tennis.
There is not much shade whatsoever, so take that into consideration when visiting.

I was traveling though Kitty Hawk pretty late in the evening looking for a place to stop for the evening and this was one of the first places I stumbled upon. I thought perhaps it could be like some of the RV Parks in the area which have a small portion designed for tents, however I was very wrong. Not only does it not accommodate tents, you also cannot stay here if you are traveling in a pop-up.
It seemed like a very nice location, located just across from the sandy shoreline with trees to the rear of the property. Wide roads in and out made for easy access for larger rigs. It was just really disappointing to know unless you are in a fully contained unit you cannot stay here.
There are no restrooms or showers available at this site and even without these amenities pricing seemed a bit high when I was looking at it. Guess you pay for the use of the private beach with prices $60-$70 per night depending on the time of year. The RV sites do include water, electricity and cable.
All in all I guess it might be worth it for someone traveling with a family in comparison to local hotel prices, however as primarily a tent camper this was very disappointing as a whole.

Obx Campground is located on Collington Island right behind Kitty Hawk, in the outer banks. It is clean, simple, and convenient to Nags Head, Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills. The roadways are gravel and the sites are back in gravel with a picnic table and full hookups. There are 2 ponds and another place with water access on the property. You will need to drive to public access areas to get to the beach on the other side of town. There is a market on the drive to the camp ground that has fresh seafood and fish that is very good! We bought fish to cook while we were there and also more to take home. The sites are large and there is plenty of room for slide outs and the two vehicles you are permitted to have on site. This is a great place for families and not a place you will find a bunch of party animals. We found OBX Campground convenient for visiting the Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills area.

It's OK, typical RV park, sites close together. They don't want older RVs.
Legend
We stayed in site #4, which is one of the water/electric sites right on Pamlico Sound. Very level, and the view was amazing. All the sites were very small and tightly spaced, with zero privacy, which is pretty standard for such prime waterfront real estate (and typical of most popular beach destinations). Since the sites were so small, this place was really geared more toward tent campers and those with shorter RVs (25’ or less, I’d say). Each site had a picnic table, and most had a fire pit, which is pretty rare in this area (many CGs ban ground fires due to frequent high winds).
Bath house was ok. Cleanliness was so-so, depending on the day, but the biggest issue was it was not air-conditioned, so using the restroom was generally a pretty muggy and unpleasant experience. However, the amazing outdoor showers made up for it. They were huge, with great water pressure, and felt wonderful after a long, hot day in the sun. Unfortunately, there was often trash or toiletries left behind from other guests in the showers, but there was so much room and ledge space that it was easy to avoid and didn’t bother me. Generally speaking, the bath houses and grounds could stand a little more regular cleaning and maintenance, but since the owners run a watersport rental business from the property, it’s obvious that’s their main focus. Once checked in, it seems campers are left to their own devices until/unless they want to rent some equipment, because the owners and staff spent all day at the rental booth. I didn’t find this to be a problem at all; I just mention this to advise other campers to expect a more hands-off management approach, at least on the camping side. If you want to rent some water sport equipment while in the Outer Banks, this is a great place; the selection and prices are good (and half off for campers), you can launch right from your site, and the staff are very knowledgeable. Even if you aren’t into watersports, the sound is great for wading and cooling off, especially for kids, since it’s so calm and shallow. The sunsets are breathtaking, and it’s especially fun to watch the kite surfers out on the water in the evening. On a final note, be forewarned that the wind here is no joke. Be prepared to securely tie down any tents, pop-up gazebos or screen houses you have. The wind was so strong for two nights that our pop-up was shaking most of the night. The good thing about the wind was it kept the bugs away, because mosquitoes here are brutal when there is no breeze.
The Outer Banks are chock-full of activities and attractions for the whole family, whether you prefer your vacations relaxing or action-packed. Most of the more active, kid-centered attractions are farther north in the Kitty Hawk/Kill Devil Hills area. Rodanthe is definitely quieter and less crowded, which we liked, but there are still plenty of restaurants in the vicinity, more kite and water sport outfitters, souvenir shops, and an arcade. Lisa’s Pizzeria, right next door to the CG, was amazing. Buxton is worth a day trip down for an Apple Ugly at the Orange Blossom, and a tour of the Hatteras Lighthouse and adjacent National Seashore visitor center. Ocracoke is another neat day trip, but we didn’t have time.
Overall, this is a really neat little campground on the sound, and the prices are great for the area (much lower than the big RV resorts a few blocks away). There are quite a few campgrounds in the Tri-Villages alone, and after driving through most of them, I would probably opt for Rodanthe Watersports again. If you can deal with the tight spacing, minimal upkeep, and lack of big-resort amenities, this is a great, cost-effective option in a gorgeous setting!
RangerOur absolute favorite place. This is the reason we got a camper....to make this vacation possible every year. They have concrete pads, full hook up sites on both the ocean and sound side of Rt 12. They offer themed activities, multiple pools, playground, dog park area, bath houses with laundry, arcade/game room, mini golf, basketball, tennis courts, and amazing sunset views from the sound front sites and viewing area. They also have a marina on site to rent jet skis or drop in your kayaks and paddle boards in the sound. Not far from restaurants, the Rodanthe Pier and family activities.

We have stayed in all types of RV Parks from local municipal parks to Fort Wilderness in Orlando, Florida. We have stayed at the Cape Hatteras KOA for the past 10-years.
The Cape Hatteras KOA consistency ranks near the top as one of the nicest parks.One of the biggest draws for us is the friendly and helpful staff who ALWAYS have time to answer a question, offer advice or just to say hello.
The sites are definitely wide and deep enough for the biggest and baddest of rigs. We stayed here over Memorial Day weekend and the place was packed...but somehow the facilities did not look like they had been through World War-3

We have been member's here for several year's and camping here even longer (inherited membership from my Grandparents who I grew up camping with here). The campground has a lot of amenities and all sites are full hook up. As it is a member owned campground it is a community and we all help and take care of each other. The average cost even with annual dues is a deal compared to most other campgrounds.
My only complaint is some of the sites are a bit smaller, but for the area they are on average considering the location, we just prefer a bit more space, especially when the campground is full for holiday's but we are able to get reservations and sites even on holidays just a couple weeks out usually so it's still nicer and easier than other places that are usually booked months if not a full year out.
Other than that, not specifically an issue with the campground, more the area that has a flooding problem, if the wind and rain comes in from the south, there can be a bit of flooding, some sites are worse than others, it's not a drainage issue, it's not a maintanace issue as it only occurs when the winds are strong out of the south. Not something that stops us from visiting, just to be aware of and pay attention.

This KOA is actually still under construction. As with everything else Covid-19 has set it back. But there are many sites available. A lot of the amenities are already available. Dog park, shower house, store, children's play area and they can fill your propane tanks for you. Full hookups with WiFi and cable. Drive through and back in sites with water views all around. We spent a week there and it was so relaxing. They also rent campers and little trailers. Check out their website.
GuideGreat 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.

We camped in the State campground at Pettigrew State Park. It is a small campground with just a few camp sites. We usually overnight there on the way to the NPS campgrounds on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, though it is nice enough to justify a stay if you find yourself in the area. We visited in March, so insects were not a problem, though your experience may be different if you visit during the warmer months, as much of the area surrounding Lake Phelps is cypress swamp.
I little about the campground amenities: it is modest and good for tent camping. Though there is room for RVs, there aren't electrical and water hookups, though most who were there were in RVs. Each site has a fire ring with a grill and firewood is available for a nominal fee. There is a bathhouse with toilet and shower facilities.
The natural beauty is worth the visit. From the campground it is an easy walk to the lake. We were able to see an impressive sunset from the lake shore. There is an out and back 1.5 mile trail, for a total of 3 miles, that follows the lake, taking you through the Somerset Place State Historic Site. The walk passes through the swamp with many large cypress and sycamore trees. At the end of the trail is a walkway to the lake along an irrigation canal.
LegendWe stayed at site 19 for 7 days. The sites are fairly quiet, fairly nicely spaced, particularly for a private RV park. The sites are FHU with 50A service. There is some occasional road noise, but not too bad. AT&T had 2 bars and 6 MB/s w/o a booster, 2 bars and 8 MB/s with it. The sites are all open, so satellite coverage is good, so as a result, we did not check OTA TV reception. Lots of open area to walk the dog and there were lots of other dogs here. Grounds are kept very clean and mowed. Very conveniently located near the Wright brothers' site.
GuideIf you want a place right on the beach, this isn’t for you. There is an area of water (Kitty Hawk bay) with the dock that you can fish from on the campground. The sites are all trailer/RV - no camping. We stayed at site 5. Important to note- there is a small cemetery on a hill in the center of campground. There is a laundry room near the office. Ice is also available to purchase. I would stay here again. Billies seafood is nearby and would recommend.
ScoutCampground is well taken care of with wildlife all around. Level parking and full hookups made it a comfortable stay. Small playground and waterfront picnic area for the kids to play. About an hour drive to Cape Hatteras, 20 minutes to Jennette’s pier, and 5-10minutes drive to Wright brothers first flight and grocery store.
GuideLocated between Wanchese and Manteo, this little RV park is a quiet getaway. Turning into the property you will find all of the grounds very clean and well maintained. Each site has full connections along with a picnic table. A number of sites back up to the water where one can enjoy fishing for flounder or blue crab. Or just enjoy a nice walk around the shoreline and along the piers. The touristy spots are 15-20 minutes away providing an opportunity to enjoy some seclusion. A well maintained pool is onsite as well a pavilion for some larger group get togethers. A bath house with very clean facilities. A place to do your own laundry. A convenience store is next door as well as a hardware store however you almost would never realize it as it is never noisy or distracting. If you are looking for a place along the coast for a break from the road, or a week of quiet, you will not be disappointed here.
GuideSuper close to a beautiful beach, there really are no bad spots, but you are very close to your neighbors and no shade. A bit pricey - we chose a pull through w electric and water, but wished we had gone with full hookup. Bathrooms are ok - I did see other people’s hair and could’ve been cleaner. Some of the doors were broken and wouldn’t lock. Great pet area and the staff is super nice.
TravelerThis is our home base camping resort. It’s a deeded membership that allows for 14 day stays with a single deed. We’ve stayed a few times prior to owning with friends who sponsored us. There are both paved and unpaved sites with full hookups, and tent sites that feature water and electricity. Bath houses throughout property, and a laundry, community center, two pools, a large pavilion and ball court. We love having play areas for the kids and a dog park for our fluffy kid.
GuideWe camped at Oregon Inlet from April 11-April 17, 2022. We stayed in loop B, site 6, which is dune-side. The dune-side sites do not have electricity or water hookups, but are much better for privacy and location. The sites that have electric are on the grassy area next to the highway, and the road noise is an issue if you have a soft-sided camper. The road noise was not audible from our dune side location.
April was windy, so we didn't use the awning on our pop-up. There is no shade at this campground, so consider bringing something for shade if camping here in the summer months. There was a grill and a picnic table at our site, but campfires are not allowed.
The bathrooms have flushing toilets and sinks. There are "warm" showers that operate from a pull-ring system. The water is cold on the initial pull but does warm up to lukewarm/slightly warm.
There is no location to wash dishes at all at the campground. There is no dishwashing station or grey water dumping station. We didn't realize this when we went, so we ended up wiping everything out with a lot of paper towels and a little rinse of water.
The location on Nag's Head was perfect, almost at the mid-point of the outer banks. It was very convenient to reach Kitty Hawk, Nag's Head village, and even Cape Hatteras from the campground.

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.
