Outer Banks West - Currituck Sound KOA

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Kayaking and fishing on Currituck Sound draw many visitors to this KOA campground in Coinjock, North Carolina, where a dedicated boat ramp gives direct water access and sites along the waterfront face open sightlines toward the sound. The Currituck lighthouse is visible from the water at night, and campers report floating in the sound itself during summer months. Kids tend to gravitate toward the playground and the kayaking, and organized activities have kept younger guests occupied during peak season.

Waterfront sites fill quickly, and campers should book premium spots carefully. As Tom P. notes, "Paid for a water view spot, got a spot obscured by trees." Some sites along the marsh have vegetation that cuts the view considerably, so it's worth confirming the specific site layout before arrival. At full capacity the campground can feel crowded, but mid-summer reviewers on premium waterfront spots report having enough space. A daily resort fee of $4.99 applies, and as of recent reviews there is no pool on site.

The campground accommodates RVs up to 65 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections, plus WiFi and cable. Showers, a dog park, and a camp store are on site, though the store has kept limited hours and closes early. Nearby, Bells Island Campground and Sandy Point Resort Campground offer alternatives for those exploring the area. Cell service has been inconsistent for some visitors, so downloading offline maps before arrival is a reasonable precaution.

The campground runs seasonally from late May through November. "Drive through and back in sites with water views all around," notes Harold E., and the layout does give most sites some orientation toward the water. Past visitors have flagged bathhouse cleanliness as inconsistent, so checking facilities on arrival is worth the few minutes. Campers planning to fish, paddle, or simply watch the light change over the sound will find the waterfront access reason enough to make the trip.

Holy DRAMA

This is a long one! Here we go. My partner and I travel for work, we went out of our way to move to this location based on reviews saying this is a great place. We have paid in full for the whole stay which is about little over 2 months. We have been here approx 2 weeks give or take. We work night shift. No activity during the day. Simple easy. Not our first campground by any means. At first, we were excited to experience the amenities and such. Now we’re uncomfortable to try anything out. Why you ask? Situation: first day we move in, we end up next to what seems like the literal only other long term or possibly even permanent resident on the grounds. My service animal alerted me to a trigger, which she left the front door of the camper before we walked out. Recalled her to me once we saw that the perm resident (our neighbor) had what presented as an aggressive dog. (Husky maybe?). Within not EVEN 5 minutes of this event, someone was at our door- instead of asking what is going on we were immediately accused of her running around off leash I guess? We had just woken up from sleeping and it was evening time, time to go to work. Instead of arguing or even offering up ANY facts related to the situation I simply said got it thanks and the interaction ended. I’m thinking to myself well damn. Okay. A week or so maybe goes by? Leash in hand VISIBLE -at the door my dog steps out, I step out behind her- same time same situation. She walks ahead of me to where she will relieve herself, I ask for her to come back next to me, she recalls- neighbors dog loses its mind again. I look up at neighbor and say “just go ahead and call man, I get it”. She calls. This time THREE employees are driving on carts to our site, at this point we’re already leaving for work. I knew it was coming, figured they would for sure ask what’s going on this time. They don’t. The older woman accompanied by two men behind her- simply says “you have been told before you need to leash your dog”. We reply yes we understand. Nobody asks for a description of the events, what’s going on, or if this even happened. The female voice is raised and hostile presenting towards both of us. The man behind her approaches our car and peers into the vehicle I’m not sure if to intimidate or what, but that action was also very ineffective in diffusing the situation and instead very intimidating. And now making us both VERY late to work as this is an extra 15 minute drive to the hospital in which we work at. Seemingly, the word of this permanent resident is all they needed to full on accuse the two of us… of what? I am not sure. My animal has resided all over the country in countless locations, all while working and we have had no issues to date. At this point I am still remaining silent as the female worker continues to educate us on our alleged actions. My concern is that there has been ZERO questioning, only full on accusations. We’re highly uncomfortable at this point. They say “we will be speaking with the general manager tomorrow”, Which also felt threatening. I’d like to add that given the whole situation this wouldn’t matter but since this is happening: earlier that morning after work I had stopped by the front desk, to ask about a package I thought that I sent to the wrong place, but didn’t. The same female was there. I remember thinking wow she’s actually so rude. But I brushed it off. Now looking back she must have some kind of prejudice toward myself and my dog. I’ve never been threatened / accused so one-sidedly in my entire career such as what has been happening at this campground. Our resolution was to request moving sites, however nothing was asked of us WHATSOEVER. As stated we were not given any opportunity to speak on the situation. Will attempt to update review whenever we speak with management of this location. Warning is to be wary of implicit bias in staff, potential favoritism, and inconsistent / unfair conflict resolution, aggressive long term campers, and lack of communication from staff.

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.

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.

Needs more work to be worth the fees

This campground is less than 2 years old. They charge a daily $4.99 resort fee and I still have no idea why. There is no pool yet, waiting on an issue with the city. When we were there the midgets were so bad our RV was covered in them at night. Check your site carefully in you pay for a water site, some have trees covering the view and a lot have a big marsh area

Very quiet and peaceful

We came for a weeklong working trip. I brought my laptop to work from home and this place was perfect. The view was beautiful and the weather was great at night to just sit outside and enjoy the view. It was a very quiet camp with a great dog park. I look forward to visiting again soon.

This park is trying they just became a koa. It can be an amazing campground. Lexi did a amazing job with the kids keeping them busy.. Pro- Park was clean, water front, big play ground.

Cons- store open and closes when they want. Closes super early so don't forget anything if you plan on arriving after 5pm. No propane. THEY NEED A POOL! THIS PLACE WOULD BE THE SH@T

Relaxation on the Sound.

This KOA is actually still under construction. As with everything else Covid-19 has set it back. But there are many sites available. A lot of the amenities are already available. Dog park, shower house, store, children's play area and they can fill your propane tanks for you. Full hookups with WiFi and cable. Drive through and back in sites with water views all around. We spent a week there and it was so relaxing. They also rent campers and little trailers. Check out their website.

DICUSSED

This campground is full of bugs. It also lacks the basic cleaning of bathhouses. They are full of bugs and dirt in both the outside and inside showers and management does nothing to change it.  When I complained I was given excuses. Would I stay there again NEVER.

Disappointed

Super excited to get there but once there I was given our set number. We pulled up to the site to find someone else on the site. Was told by an employee checking us in that they change peoples site and forget to put it in the computer. I was given a site we barely fit on with a major power box on our site. We paid a lot of money for a nice WF site. Also when checking in the girl at the front desk was very rude to a fellow employee over the walkie because they put a 40ft RV into a site that they did not fit in. Overpriced, unprofessional and several (not all) unprofessional employees
