We stayed here for two nights during our trip along the Outer Banks. We had a great time and enjoyed our stop here. Our site had a great view of the water and we could see the Currituck lighthouse at night. Our boys enjoyed kayaking around the sound and riding their bikes to the playground. It seemed like they are working to add more amenities and upgrades so I’d stay again next time we make it that way. Also, Diggers Dungeon is only a few miles away so if you have kids make sure to stop and let them see the monster trucks.
Guide
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.

GuideWhere else can you watch the sunrise AND the sunset from the same campground? Wow. I give this place an 11 out of 10
Scout
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.
ScoutThis is an extremely long review but please read and beware before staying at Hatteras Sands! My family and I are frequent campers at HS; we usually come down twice a year for the past several years. Until now all of our experiences have been stellar and even though Hatteras Sands is a little run down in some areas we liked staying because the staff was friendly and accommodating. I do not know what has happened(perhaps new management or ownership) but things are severely lacking in the customer service department. Let me preface by saying I witnessed the below events and was completely shocked by the behavior and level of unprofessionalism in which things were handled. My cousin rented a double lot and was told even though she paid for the double lot that since she had two cars she would need to pay an extra$100 for the second vehicle to park. She paid this$100 as well as an additional$75 for her mother to be able to come and use the overflow parking which is nothing more than a grassy lot next to a bunch of junk. She proceeded to park her additional vehicle in the space next to her camper as instructed. While cooking dinner we were being watched by a male outside the office and as we sat down to dinner the female“manager” and male rode over on their golf cart to inform us that our fire needed a cover over it if we were not cooking; no problem, this was an oversight on our part. Then miss manager advised that we needed to move said vehicle to the overflow parking even though my cousin had a double lot and paid$100 extra for parking. I proceeded to get into a heated argument with the woman, she refused to listen and was extremely rude. She made sure to say“I’m the manager who runs things here”…Was I in the wrong for yelling? Perhaps I was but she informed us that the owner of the campground would be calling; great! They never called… The next day my aunt and cousin went to the office to discuss the matter calmly to which the manager was very condescending, rude and unwilling to have any kind of dialogue. She instructed them to leave the office immediately; which they did without further conversation or argument. The same male from the previous night proceeded to follow them on his golf cart and confront my aunt screaming at her and telling her to“go smoke some more meth”. We assume because we are residents of West Va. He said this in front of my 9 year old son and two other small children. This was highly unprofessional and utterly uncalled for. At this point she is in fear that this man is going to potentially harm her or her children. She proceeded to pack up her entire site and the children while this same male sat at an empty cabin nearby and watched her the entire time. Creepy! Finally…the owner did call; she was very nice and did her best to rectify the situation. But the damage had already been done the result being a partial refund for the remainder of the days left on their reservation and my cousin moving to a campground down the road. To me this is not acceptable; she should have been give a full refund. Later we were shocked to find out the aggressive male is not even an employee of the campground but a subcontractor who performs odd jobs and the boyfriend of the so-called manager. They actually live in an area at the back of the office. They both made everyone feel unsafe and uncomfortable not to mention the derogatory meth comment. A word to the owner- this is not how to do business. You need to check in on your employees from time to time. Allowing such behavior is appalling and they will put you out of business if things continue on this way. I have read other reviews, we are not the only ones to have these issues. My cousin, my husband and myself as well as my mother in law; we all paid and we all saw and heard what happened first hand. We know many who frequent this establishment and we will be telling them all about this experience. More than anger I feel disappointment at the entire situation. This was a wonderful place where many memories were made and now ruined by a poor management team.
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.
ScoutPaid for a water view spot, got a spot obscured by trees. Internet kept cutting out TV last night. Other than that it has been ok so far.
TravelerAlong the way to Hatteras. Gray sand, clean and peaceful. .
TravelerGreat location. Friendly and helpful staff. Great people who visit and stay at the grounds. You feel as though you have never met a stranger even if they come from as far away as Quebec or Minnesota.

We love this place. They are always hosting activities, there's a beach and a pool, playground, movie nights, pizza and ice cream shop. We stay here multiple times a year.
ScoutPerfect for us—quiet and easy to park. Plenty of room on site. Clean and organized. View of Currituck Sound is beautiful.
GuideWe recently stayed at Hatteras Sands Campground and from the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Their helpful and friendly nature made us feel welcome. The facilities were clean, well-maintained, and conveniently located to all of the sites. Our kids were ecstatic about the pool, spending hours there. Also, they able to kayak around the campground. It was truly a joy to see them exploring and having so much fun in a safe environment.

The pricing is incorrect on The Dyrt and their website. The Dirt states $20-$60 then I went to their business website and the cheapest (tent no hookup) was $40. So I called to find out what was correct. The young girl on the phone stated that the cheapest price was $45 (again tent and no hookup). The girl was very rude. Be aware of the pricing issue. I will not visit.
LegendThe campsite was nice with clean bathrooms and toilet facilities. But during my first nights stay we had a very heavy thunderstorm which lasted several hours. This caused my tent to flood as the grass fields if the campsite were totally waterlogged. The site was closed next day due to flooding and I got a refund
GuideThough we are here late in the year, and lots of things are closed, especially area restaurants, this campground has a number of things for kids to do and the beach was great. Wifi works well and the restrooms are great.
GuideWe spent 2 separate weeks here. The 1st one was planned, the second was because we loved it so much there.
The first thing that captured my heart was the drive in!! It is AMAZING!! The bridges, beach views, sand dunes, inland water views, it is something so pretty it’s hard to describe and be able to capture all the beauty! It truly is something you have to see and experience.
The campground is cute and has a beach vibe. There is a pirate ship playground, a huge pool and hot tub, jumping pillow, basket ball court, your kids will defiantly keep busy! They have my dogs favorite dog parks of all dog parks. They love running free in the sand! The store is cute and. If and has anything and everything you would ever need for an epic beach day.
Speaking of beach…this beach is captivating. The big waves are dreamy. On sunny days you’ll watch surfers and pelicans. Windy days you’ll see kite boarders and pelicans.
We went during the winter and the sea was so amazing. Everyday was a new beach. One day there was a 3’ drop off, the next day it vanished without a trace. The sea birds are adorable. And there are always fishermen being in something exciting be it a fish, shark, or sting ray.
One down side of winter was most of the stores and attractions are closed, but the upside is a quiet campground for beachy dreams and soul filling peace.
ScoutIt was getting late so I was worried I wouldn’t find a place to stay for the night. Luckily, the camp store was open until 8 so I had plenty of time to get a place to stay for the night. It was a great view of the sunset and the whole area was pretty quiet. Staff at the store were friendly and were pretty lenient to letting me use the fire pits since there was no one else at my site. Will definitely stay again if I’m ever passing through the area.
GuidePerfect spot for a great trip! Enjoyed the beach and the campground! Place was rocking when we were there!
TravelerFriendly staff that escorted us to our site and made sure we had what we needed. We were right on the water and loved our view of Currituck Sound!
ScoutThis has been our favorite campground this summer. Not busy, clean site, super clean bathhouse, lovely pool…all right in the center of Hatteras!
GuideEnjoyed my stay here very much, Took a friend for the adventure and we got our site no problem! We had a beautiful view from the back of my Mini-Van camper. Nice and windy! Kept the bugs away for sure. Would definitely come back!
GuideWe had such a great time at Sandy Point. A little hiccup in the beginning with our site but Liz saved the day and gave us another great site on the water with an amazing view.
Traveler
We spent 2 night at North River in August to attend Coast Guard Day in Elizabeth City. I was pleasantly surprised how nice and clean the facility was. I was expecting in the Dogs Day of August to be buggy, but place was wonder and I want to return again the fall when it is cooler.
