I've been visiting Cape Lookout for years with my family (my partner and our dogs). This is by far the best campsite we've found on the coast. Bathrooms have semi-private showers and are conveniently located. Access to the beach is a short walk, and the hiking trails are amazing. We usually don't visit during the summer and even when a portion of the site is closed (sand accumulates on 'A' loop) we haven't felt like it was over packed. We personally prefer the A and B loops which are closest to the beach and feel like they have the most privacy. On that point, we love how much privacy is usually found between sites. For the most part, trees and bushes are substantial enough to make your site feel like you have your own sanctuary (we might be introverts).
