The location is amazing and the beach at the campground is beautiful. It was such a treat to hear the ocean from our camp site. The showers and bath house are nice and kept clean. The sites are very close to each other without much privacy. We had some terrible weather come in while we were there. There is no cover or shelter from the wind. We ended up leaving a day early because of the weather. We would certainly try again and hope for better weather.

Right in the dunes on the Outerbanks. Easy access and great to explore the OBX from there.

Stayed in A loop, site A1. Very short walk to the beach and listening to the calming ocean waves at night was very relaxing. Neither wind or bugs were an issue during my stay in mid September. Lots of fishing opportunities nearby, especially if you get a beach driving permit and have a capable 4x4. The facilities were very clean and the staff was helpful.

This is our second trip to Oregon Inlet; this time we stayed in the non-electric mixed-use section of B Loop in two tents. The even-numbered sites are closer to the dunes/beach, odd numbers in this section are very small. B and C loop bathrooms are accessible from multiple points around the loops. There is road noise during the day. It’s not perfect (bugs, no shade, traffic noise, neighbors right on top of each other), but we love the short walk to the beach and will probably be back again. We did notice fewer burrs around B loop than A loop.

Camped here while exploring the NPS sites of NC. Could hear the calming waves from the tent site, and just a few short minutes of walking to get to the beach, and we even saw a deer on the dunes! Sand fleas were absolutely terrible at night, bring mosquito netting to hang inside your tent! There’s also no shade here, so get ready to be hot as soon as the sun comes up!

Perfect beach camping for tents ! This was our first experience camping at the beach and it was great. It was a hot July day , 90 degrees but we cooled off in the water during the day and by evening the cool breeze was perfect !! The only downfall is the traffic from the highway is loud and never stops. Also you are very close to your neighbor. Besides that this is a great site. The staff are really sweet and helpful. The bathrooms are clean, easily accessible and there is a filtered watered fountain. The showers are also clean !!!

Great place to camp. Had water and electric at our campsite.

Enjoyed a short walk to the beach for a longer walk down the beach to an old boat. Great night sky views and quiet campground. Lukewarm but nice free showers with is somewhat rare for national sites.

Beautiful site, nice amenities, a quick walk over the dunes and you’re on the beach.

Had some great luck securing a site last minute to test out our RTT during peak season July. As a typical forest camper, this campground was a bit of a change due to how open and exposed you are to the other sites. But, that's the beach for ya - no vegetation or other foliage to separate you from the other campers!

We scored great weather all day - brisk southerly winds with sunny skies, but about an hour after sunset after we snuggled up in our tent the winds turned light/variable and a wild squall line rolled through absolutely dumping on the coast. You could hear the screams and shrieks from children for miles, as they tried to find cover. 

The facilities were in good shape. Just about as clean as you get at a communal site shared by 100s of people, on the beach. But the walk over the dunes to the water was clutch, super convenient. 

Easy to access, right off the main road. Just secure your site early!

Though we were caught camping in what seemed to be a very dramatic North Carolina storm we made the best of it. Good location all around, close to the ocean and cool towns nearby. Showers could use some updating but I guess that’s what we get for winter camping on the coast! Also another down side... close to the highway so it was a bit loud at night

Great place! Walking distance to the beach. Clean bathrooms Close to Nags Head where you can buy groceries or go to local restaurants Beach is wide, nice daily walks, birds watching at Pea Island just 8 miles from campground. Yes, the road is there but at night is not busy. I added a map as a picture... if you go to sites B’s and C’s east side... those are great! Stayed at C15 and C21 ... sunrise from your camper bedroom! Just perfect!

This is a tough place. Big winds and lots of rain. Trucks on the beach everywhere.

Town to get fish a long way away.

Grilling tough in the wind.

Get long tent stakes.

Spent 4 days here in our rooftop tent and really enjoyed ourselves. Warm outdoor showers are provided. The bathrooms are some of the cleanest I’ve seen. Campsites on the outer edges (odd numbers) are more spread apart. They also back up into dunes or brush which give you somewhat of a “woodsy” feel, which I appreciated. We had the beach access pass and drove on during the days to hang out which was great. Also, conveniently located to town so you don’t feel too far removed. Please note, they DO NOT allow wood burning fires, however they provide grills on each site for charcoal burning fires only. This app led us to believe they did allow campfires so it was a bummer to find out otherwise. Overall a good spot. Definitely worth a trip.

This campground was nice. But the road noise was terrible. The first night we were in one of the sites right next to the road and there was traffic all night long. The second night we stayed at one of the sites over closer to the beach and it was a little better. FYI it is a longer walk than you think to the beach. We weren’t carrying any beach supplies but I can imagine with chairs, cooler etc. it could be qu a chore. The warm showers were awesome! Outside the noise the campsite was nice. Very convenient to a lot of things to see and do in the Outer Banks.

The lull of the ocean just over the dunes is the best reason to stay here. Very peaceful to fall asleep to. Definitely one of my favorite spots.

Great campground if you want to be on the beach at the Outer Banks. 4 stars rather than 5 because of road noise and cars on the beach which I personally do not like. We have a camper van, did not use hook ups. It’s a wide open campground close to the road so there’s car noise during the day but not so much after dark. Bathrooms are clean. Showers are separate—basically an outdoor shower building. It’s a short walk through the sand dunes to the beach—beware of lots of vehicles lining up to fish. When we were there, it was very windy which is not good for sitting on the beach but it kept the insects away. It’s a quick drive to restaurants, shopping, lighthouses, Jockey Ridge (go for the sunset!) We chose this campground for its proximity (half hour) to the Alligator River Wildlife Refuge which is fantastic for kayaking and bear spotting.

Multiple different sites for tents and campers. It’s right next to a drive on beach access plus there are paths to walk to the beach. Each site has plenty of space between them and all are fairly close to bathroom and showers.

The campground's location is awesome, it's right in the middle of the Outer Banks, close to Bodie Island Lighthouse,  Nags Head, Kill Devil Hills, Jockey Ridge State Park, Wright Brothers National Memorial, etc.

We stayed at the group site, which is basically just a patch of grass with a few picnic tables. We visited on Memorial Day 2018, and the first night was very pleasant, with nice cool breeze from the ocean. The second night though was hot, humid and brought an army of mosquitoes. The campground has no shade, so I wouldn't go there during the summer months. If you do, bring your own shelter or beach umbrella.

You can walk to the beach through the dunes, it's a very short walk. The bathrooms and showers are clean and nice.

When we stayed there in 2018, we could hear some noise from the bridge construction nearby. I'm assuming it's done by now, and even back then it wasn't too bad.

It’s the beach, I get it, there are no trees. HOT! Surrounded by beautiful sand dunes. Basic facilities, well-kept. We just couldn’t take the no shade in the heat. Maybe in cooler weather...

Facilities were clean, showers were warm, sites were spacious! The walk to the beach was a little longer longer than expected but not terrible (took 10-15 minutes carrying a 25 lb toddler). Had a great ocean breeze. Can hear traffic from the highway but it’s not obtrusive (our site was on the highway side). Will definitely be back!

We absolutely love it here! The hosts are so friendly and informative! We were warmly welcomed and our campsite felt isolated even for how closely the layout is. The walk through the dunes to the beach is negligible but be careful with kids and pets as it is accessable to vehicles and moderately trafficked. If you are able, don't worry about hookups as the marina across the street has potable water and a dump...FREE! Wahoo! :) Ocean breezes all day long! Just watch for the sand spurs and some sneaky catus! Our pups loved it here but got stuck by those guys a few times!

I’ve been here a few times, peaceful campgrounds next to beach. Clean facilities and friendly staff. I would definitely recommend this place as a quick getaway.

Great location, easy for access and small hike to beach. Sunrise was great.

We did a quick weekend trip and it was a very relaxed time. Very peaceful. We could hear the ocean at night. We were able to go four wheel driving on the beach. We were warning of biting bugs and flies during the summer, we really didn’t have a problem off season. They were still present but not a bother, if we stayed longer we would have put our screened dinette up. Already planning next year.

This campground is part of the National Parks so the price is great. Its close to the beach, just a short walk over a sand dune and close to the harbor as well...walk or less than a mile drive. The ranger is very nice and the park is kept perfect. Restrooms and showers are clean and work great. Electricity and water were added in the past few years. It just doesn't get better for beach camping.
