Really nice campground with the Atlantic on one side and Pamlico Sound on the other with a great dark sky. Its location midway along the Outer Banks gives you a lot of options for things to do, from visiting historical sites to fishing or enjoying the small towns.The facilities were all in good shape with helpful and friendly hosts. One thing that did surprise me was the noise from highway 12 which is very close to the campground. I guess the surroundings were so quite that what traffic did come through seemed so noticeable.One downside to this trip was that the RV dump was not available because of work being done at the marina across the road. That should just be a temporary issue, but you may want to check before you arrive in case you want to dump before you get there. The Sara Owens Welcome Center in Manteo has a free RV dump available. Very nice!
@MichaelH69B9CB · Camped on Mar 30, 2025 at Campsite #B4
Clean, nestled in the dunes, easy access, flat surface.great place
@LeanneG6353246 · Camped on Mar 28, 2025 at Campsite #C28
Always a great place to visit. Great price, close to the beach, and quiet. It's a quick drive to town, but you are far enough away that you can spend your time on the beach with not many people.
@SusanR8932053 · Camped on Mar 26, 2025 at Campsite #B27
Fabulous location. So much to do with the beach right there.
@HughF6D1839EE2 · Camped on Mar 24, 2025 at Campsite #C19
Springtime camping at Oregon Inlet Campground is superb! My wife and I have a smaller size travel trailer which serves as our vacation home on long tours. The size allows us to camp at almost all sites. Our site had water and 30 amp electric. It was large and the surface where you parked was dead level asphalt. We escaped the colder weather of. The north east and welcomed the warmer breezy days and cool nights. The ocean was just a short walk from our campsite, where the beach was all to ourselves. Many surf fishermen drive their 4 wheel drive vehicles on the sand looking for the perfect location to try their luck. I cant comment on the shower facilities as the maintenance crew was in the process of de-winterizing them. The dump station is across the highway and access to it was being upgraded. We used a dump station at the welcome center on 64 in Manteo when we departed. Easy in, easy out. I cant imagine anyone not liking spring camping at Oregon Inlet Campground
@MarkP6983494 · Camped on Mar 21, 2025 at Campsite #B31
Only some of the bathrooms were unlocked and the stalls had no toilet paper for two days while we were there. Didnt see the camp host and their camper had an off duty sign on it the whole time. There was a sign saying that the dumpsitw would re-open on Feb 9th which was clearly on the past and was nowhere near ready to reopen. Overall disappointing compared to our last visit.
@AnnM1012312 · Camped on Mar 19, 2025 at Campsite #C10
Very nice campground, close to Nags Head and Manteo.
@RobbieOB3E0BD5 · Camped on Mar 18, 2025 at Campsite #B6
sites were well maintained
@RobbieOB3E0BD5 · Camped on Mar 18, 2025 at Campsite #B4
Camp Hosts were great. This is a clean and beautiful campground, as always.
@KellyH5593310 · Camped on Mar 15, 2025 at Campsite #C37
Level spots, short walk to the beach. Spots are level and spacious
@Christian76234 · Camped on Mar 15, 2025 at Campsite #B23
We spent a fantastic week here in March. Super clean, well maintained campground.
@EmmaM3220AD3CB · Camped on Mar 10, 2025 at Campsite #A18
I really enjoyed the campsite! I loved how close it was to the ocean and the amenities were nice. I wish check-in instructions were clearer as I was unsure what exactly I was supposed to do when I got there. Campsite was kept very clean and everyone there was respectful. Employee that night was very sweet. I went to the surfin spoon and had some great froyo. On my way back to Raleigh I stopped by alligator river and Pocosin lakes wildlife Refuges. Both are beautiful spots. I also stopped at the aquarium on Roanoke Island.
@KayL73934402C8 · Camped on Mar 8, 2025 at Campsite #C18
Very good off-season experience! We have stayed on the OBX many times, but this was our first OBX camping adventure. Know that it is ALWAYS windy, so tent camping could be a challenge. We had one night of gale force winds while we were there. The campground is wide open, particularly loops B & C. While you can hear the ocean from the campground, it's a walk or drive over the dunes to get to the beach. The bathrooms in loop A & B were open, C was closed. All of the showers were closed at the time of our visit. The bathrooms were very clean and warm! There is a low to moderate amount of road noise from Rt 12.
@KendraPFDEABC2 · Camped on Mar 6, 2025 at Campsite #C25
I would make sure to check what bath houses are open when you are there in the off season and then plan accordingly.
@MichaelD829846 · Camped on Feb 14, 2025 at Campsite #A7
The place isnt bad definitely and the people working there were friendly and pretty hands off which is nice when youre just trying to chill. The sites are all pretty close together so if youre thinking of camping here to escape people you wont unless you go during a time almost nobody else is.
@keithh9614073 · Camped on Feb 4, 2025 at Campsite #C25
Fabulous HOSTS! Helpful in so many ways. The bldgings need attention, bathhouses need roofs.
@JulianaH18D367 · Camped on Jan 10, 2025 at Campsite #B16
As always, a great stay! This time was quite unique as it was snowing when we pulled in, yes, snowing at the beach! Who knew? Awesome visit!
@DanE2043668 · Camped on Jan 10, 2025 at Campsite #C12
Gorgeous campground and area. Jockeys Ridge State Park was my favorite biome. A campground worth preserving and experiencing.
@ChristyB97EA4F · Camped on Dec 29, 2024 at Campsite #B4
Easy to find; clean campsite and bathrooms; quiet and restful through the night; 5 minute walk to the beach to watch the sun rise...
@DavinaE50F3B68 · Camped on Dec 26, 2024 at Campsite #B30
Beautiful winter camping spot! It was just a short, pleasant walk through the dunes to the shoreline. As a solo female camper I felt very safe. It was just me and my dog in my camper van. The handful of fellow campers I encountered were friendly. The sites are pretty close together, so I don't think this would be my vibe anywhere near peak season however. The amazing sunrises and sunsets, phenomenal stargazing, and lack of crowds make it a great winter camping spot in my book though.
@ClaudiaT75D48F · Camped on Dec 23, 2024 at Campsite #B35
I was a little bit upset. We came after 3Pm the water wasnt turned on. The advertisement stated hot showers AND NO HOT SHOWERS OR WATER IN THE WINTER! Other than that its a beautiful location, i defnetlely wanna go there in the summer.
@DebbieF4738575 · Camped on Dec 19, 2024 at Campsite #B39
Sand spurs everywhere. I arrived at campground found my camp spot and took my dog for a walk. He got spurs his paws,they were on my shoes and pants present everywhere even on concrete. Found out showers were shut and dump station closed. Spaces small. Was a good location but had to leave after first night because of the sand spurs. Unable to walk to beach or around campground.
@KathrineSBF163 · Camped on Dec 16, 2024 at Campsite #B9
I stayed in the non electric sights. It was a beautiful place, the dunes were amazing and the sunset beautiful. It's not really close to anything but then that's the point. I was surprised at the traffic noise but it wasn't disruptive. I enjoyed my time there and took in the sights north and south of there. I would stay here again if I'm in the area.
@RaphaelDC2C52E · Camped on Dec 15, 2024 at Campsite #C20
Great spot for RV, campervan or tent camping if visiting the outer banks. Easy access to the beach and spacious, well-kept sites. Sites with electric and water book fast, so don't delay making reservations for your stay. Bathhouse is nice. Also close to many local shopping centers.
@ReginaldS45288 · Camped on Dec 12, 2024 at Campsite #C28
This was my first ever December camping trip in my new Tab 360. It was a good overall experience. I was happy to find the water at my site on, as I expected the water to be off. The site was perfect. I knew the shower house and bathrooms would mostly be closed around the campground this time of year, but glad the bathroom outside of the office was still open for use. I was required to be creative. Im looking forward to going back in 2025.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
