Great Island Cabin Camp is located on South Core Banks within beautiful Cape Lookout National Seashore just off the mainland of North Carolina. The historic camp has been a favorite of fisherman and beach goers for many years. The camp can only be reached by boat, adding an element of both privacy and adventure. Visitors can travel by personal boats or reserve a spot on the vehicle ferry, which cruises across scenic Core Sound to South Core Banks and the Great Island Cabin Camp. 4WD, high clearance vehicles are strongly recommended due to deep sand on the Back Road and the oceanside beaches. There are NO paved roads on North or South Core Banks. An Off-Road Vehicle Driving Permit is required and must be purchased from Recreation.gov prior to arrival. Once you arrive on the island, show proof of payment for the Off-Road Vechicle Driving Permit to the park staff at the Great Island Cabin Camp Office or law enforcement Rangers/staff on North Core Banks, and they will issue you the corresponding decal for your vehicle.
The park's sandy beaches are a prime location for fishing, exploring, beachcombing/shelling, swimming, birding or simply relaxing. Spring and fall at Cape Lookout offer what many consider to be some of the best fishing on the Atlantic Coast. Kayaking is a popular activity at the park. With 112 miles of uninhabited shoreline ranging from docile sound to pounding surf, Cape Lookout National Seashore has become one of the premier paddling destinations on the Mid-Atlantic Coast.
Cape Lookout National Seashore is a low, narrow ribbon of sand running from Ocracoke Inlet to Beaufort Inlet. At 56 miles long, these barrier islands consist mainly of bare beaches with low dunes covered by scattered grasses, flat grasslands bordered by dense vegetation and large expanses of salt marsh along the sound.
Cape Lookout Lighthouse, historic Cape Village
Please note: Customers who cancel a cabin reservation less than 14 days prior to the arrival date will pay a $10.00 service fee AND forfeit the first night's use fee. Refunds resulting from storm closures will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

Guide
The campground is in a nice area. The small lake is beautiful and full of fish. It is near a small bustling town with everything you need. The staff is friendly.
The only drawback is that the camp itself is outdated. The so-called bathhouses need a severe update. The bathhouse does not have HVAC in it. There’s one male toilet and one female toilet for the entire camp. There are two portable toilets on the back end of the property. There’s one shower of the two that works and it is a small shower. Do not weigh more than 175 pounds going in that shower.
All in all, it’s a good temporary campsite. This is not set up for long-term, even though there are multiple long-term campers here.
Guide
Such an awesome KOA, bathrooms were immaculate. Free coffee everyday and so many activities! Great communication, they text before every event, and if something is lost they send out alerts. Loved our stay!
Traveler
We stayed from Fri to Sun and we enjoyed every moment we stayed. Caught fish and enjoyed the pool. And the golf cart rental was awesome too
Scout
Quiet campground, great views of the ocean and Marsh.
Close to the Morris Marina, Davis, and Ocracoke ferry. Easy access to the Outer and Core banks.
Traveler
Pickleball! And there's the bar/lounge, swimming pool, gym, laundry but most of all, space. You're in the south, so friendly folks who give you all the time in the world is a given. Yes, southern hospitality is palpable here. We're just a few miles from the beach, walking distance to a restaurant and or convenience store; crawling distance to Dales Pub across the road. It's like a KOA here, without the big trikes, lake and boats- but there are a couple ponds where the turtles come and go. Highlights for us; 1.) The laundry will run off an app on your phone. 2.) The pool and patio is truly awesome; we hang there almost every afternoon(weather permitting). 3.) Did I mention pickleball?! Downsides? Well, there is the price, but that's relative. We're getting a$1200.00 monthly rate which makes it do-able. Sometimes, when the winds blow out of the east, every camper smells the sewage treatment plant across the back fence- Check Google maps satellite view. Truth be told, it is rare, only a few days out of the month. The large majority of the time we get the cool coastal breeze. We camped at Oceans RV Resort in a Fifth Wheel.
GuideJust off the road. Close to lots of places to eat and beaches. Seemed to have lots of activities some places even had chimaeras and Weber grills.
LegendJake from the Dyrt here! Your host Kathrine is an experienced host and is ready to make your next camping trip a memorable one! There's a spot for everyone, from the onsite camper, to bring your own tent/RV sites, check them out and share some pics from your stay on the Dyrt!

Nice overnight stay RV Campground new with no shade Very clean Beautiful river but not walking distance from campground Staff friendly I’d say much better in the early spring or fall
GuideNice family campground
Guide
Pretty camp site, level gravel sites clean bathrooms and good WiFi. Some of the neighbors were loud, I know this is not managements fault, just be prepared.
ScoutWe go every weekend in the summer to swim
GuideWe did an overnight stop here.
The campground was ok, but our site sucked. It was under construction, so the yard was tore up and we had no picnic table. The site was super uneven, so we didn’t pull the slides out. Sucked about that picnic table for that reason especially.
The campground is ok for a holiday.
TravelerVery enjoyable. Easy check in. Level spots. Convenient to everything Only negative is pool closes at 6 pm
TravelerSatisfactory at best - lots to do fir kids - too much light, noise, construction, activity for a quiet nights rest. We did have morning shade at our site which was nice.
ScoutWe enjoyed our stay at Goose Creek! Beautiful area, great family atmosphere and clean facilities. The pool is awesome! Great location, can’t wait to come back!
GuideWe stayed here 1 night before getting on the ferry to Okracoke. The owner was very accommodating with a last minute reservation on a holiday weekend.
We arrived late but the sites are adequately lit to pull into the spot. The spots are a little small but we had more than enough room for our 18 TT and truck.
The roads on the property are a little rough and could use some grading, but they have obviously had some bad weather recently that hasn't helped.
There aren't a ton of amenities but this would be an awesome spot if you have a boat. There is a marina with gas on site. The ramp is small but there is plenty of trailer parking.
The tent spots are a little more exposed than I would like, but the view of the marsh from that area is spectacular.
We didn't fish during our stay but the small pier would be great to keep the kids entertained with pinfish.
Pool was closed when we stayed.
LegendThis campground was great. Nice spacious site near the water. The bathrooms were very clean and each had a shower sink and toilet all to yourself. Climate controlled also. There were activities and a well stocked store.
ScoutGets 4 stars primarily for the staff and the location. Standard sites are crammed together making privacy an issue. In our site we could not fully open our awning without it hanging over the neighbors site. Location is great for e plowing New Bern and he surrounding area, which is why we were there. And the staff is exceptional. Pat signed us in and led us to our site. She even gave us a baggie of kitty treats for our Kamping Kitty, he loves them. The rest of the staff was also very nice and helpful. We stayed for 5 nights, Sun - Thu nights and had a great time. If you go, would recommend a deluxe site for the breathing room.
Ranger
Took our ORVs on the ferry to the island and stayed in a cabin. The cabins come in different sizes but none have power. They have huts for generators to sit in to help with the noise. We brought a window a/c unit and it kept the place cool (highly recommend) had water, shower, toilet and gas kitchen. We rode our 4 wheelers down the 30+ mile beach. On one end of the island there's a historic museum like town and light house.
Scout
We stayed in spot w33 which had a beautiful view of the water and plenty of space to stretch out behind the RV. The staff was always friendly and quick to help out was anything we needed.
GuideNot bad this is called a holiday one but I would say this is more like a journey one it doesn't seem very resort-like.

GuideThis campground was: clean, fun, had gorgeous sunsets over Neuse River estuary; good fishing on fishing pier; very helpful and friendly staff and campers. We had an unobstructed view of the River and enjoyed it thoroughly. We will be coming back soon! Just a great experience.
GuideMust go
TravelerThe grounds are well kept and everything is super clean. The staff is very helpful and accommodating. This group likes to have fun and they seem to love their jobs. There are a couple of ponds for catch and release fishing, and a river for fishing to keep watch you catch. The sites are easy to get in and close to level. Do yourself a favor and enjoy this campground!
TravelerWell maintained, sites are level and spacious, cabins are very nice, lots of activities for families.
GuideThis is a great campground if you don’t want to be far off the main road or by yourself. It is bustling with activity and people and everyone was very nice! The pool is amazing! The slide is so fun! It has 3ft all the way to 6ft roped off sections in the pool! Lots of year round permanent residence with some super cute homes. There is a lake in the middle. The gate closes at 4 and you must have a pass to open it. Very nice place! 
TravelerEveryone is so friendly! They have a playground in the center of the area, and lights with a walkway. A nice pool, and a lot of fun outdoor games.
