My husband and I went here for our honeymoon in 2015. We were impressed with the campground and the closeness to the beach. However, we paid for 2 nights and only stayed 1. This is because the ticks just hatched and our campsite was infested as were many others. I believe this was due to the time of year we stayed (the rangers informed us it was a bad year for ticks). But it didn't stop us from going back. The second time we stayed here we stayed in a perimeter campsite that was GORGEOUS! The only thing I could say about this time was the walk to the beach was longer than expected.

This campground is close to a convenient store where you can almost find everything you need. But it is still a beautiful drive to a food lion a couple of miles up the island.

The campground is cheap to stay and staff is friendly

The walk to the beach is on a board walk that turns into sand not wheelchair accessible.

There are some campsites that have great trees for hammock camping. These are located at the North perimeter of the campground map.

Wildlife is little. Be aware there are small Frogs in the showers.

I suggest the following activities while visiting:

Climb the lighthouse

Horseback ride on the beach

Go fishing

Rent skidoos

Surf

We plan on staying here everytime we visit OBX.
