    Outer Banks West - Currituck Sound KOA

    Nice site by the water

    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.

    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.

    Great lil spot

    Super 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.

    Why KOA - it’s easy on Hatteras

    Great 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.

    Pricing issue

    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.

    Great campground, wonderful staff, good amenities

    Though 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.

    Tranquil, beautiful, fun

    We 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.

    Probably one of the best campsites I’ve ever been to for such a great price

    It 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.

    Amazing Stay

    We 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.

    Best place to camp!

    Best view of the way with the sound of the ocean right by you. Spots are very generous and ever place comes with proper space and equipment. Highly recommend and people were very generous. Just make sure to come in season!

    Beautiful and professional. Great time even in off-season!

    This is an excellent campground. The sites are a bit close together for my liking, but normal for the KOA experience. Sites are clean and well designed.

    The proximity to a lovely beach is a huge win. We were able to walk just about 100 yards to an empty, clean beach with great waves.

    The pool and hot tub are amazing. Too bad it was so cold during our visit!

    The store is clean and well stocked. Plenty of necessities and some fun frivolities as well.

    Arcade is dated and many machines are broken or losing functionality.

    Playground is very cool! Bounce pillow was a big hit.

    Arrived for Halloween and were pleased to find some fun events happening. Unfortunately, one of those events included LOUD music and some drunken karaoke at the pool area bar. That was, happily, the only disturbance of the week.

    Long story short, this place is well worth a visit if you don’t want to “rough it” at a NP campground.

    Happy But Disappointed

    The beach was absolutely amazing. By far 10/10 for camp ground beaches. However, the actual campground was not a direct reflection of our beach experience. The KOA Registration building was beautiful. However, the grounds were sub par, the restaurant was closed Monday and Tuesday, and only open for breakfast and lunch. We picked a KOA and spent 100+ a night for a resort style experience. The “store” had a ton of supplies but their refrigerators were broken and they were letting milk and other perishable items sit in a sweltering hot freezer. My first experience with that staff was watching a check in person and a customer have an argument about the check in process. The customer was told they could check in at 3 pm and then was told to wait until 5 because their room wasn’t ready. The staff offered no help only that they needed to wait. As a customer you hate to see the way you could be treated. All in all, my family and I enjoyed the beach, our space was small but still spacious enough to enjoy, and the silver lining of the restaurant being closed got us out into their small community. I wanted to rate is 3 stars but at the end of the day we really enjoyed our time.

    Mixed bag, but mostly great

    When we first arrived, we thought this campground was amazing. Then we realized the bathhouse nearest to us was being renovated. It’s good it was being renovated, ultimately, but was a bummer for us, and left me wishing we had requested a different site closer to an open bathhouse.

    The individual showers are nice, but they were not cleaned the entire time we were there.

    No one was monitoring the gate house and people who weren’t staying there seemed to be coming in and riding around.

    It was a little chilly when we were there, but the pool area seemed really nice.

    The camp office store was well stocked and nice.

    Our daughter LOVED the jumping pillow and cute pirate ship playground. There were a lot of things for kids to do, including a cute evening train.

    The campground was great about sending text messages about what was going on. You can also text to order wood and ice, which they’ll bring to your site!!!

    There’s a great spot across the road to watch the sunset and fly kites.

    Tent

    The sight had a great view of the water and for sunsets, the sunrise was a 5 min walk across the road with the beach right there as well. Walking distance to pretty much anywhere (they also have bike rentals if you so wished)

    Best if you plan to stay for a long period

    We only stayed here a couple nights. Not a bad campground. It had gorgeous views and the kids liked the sound. This campground is best if you plan to stay a week or so. It’s not close to anything or any lighthouses. They do have a boat ramp so if you plan to camp and fish this would be a great spot.

    Expensive but loved it

    We were there mid-summer, picked a premium waterfront spot, so, yes, expensive. We had beautiful views, a lot of space, didn't feel cramped or crowded. Plenty of open and wooded areas to explore. Store scoops ice cream! Plenty of kid activities. The sound was fun to float in. Would be an awesome campground if it had a pool. We will definitely return.
