Great spot.

We love this park. Fantastic wild feel among the dunes on the OBX. Very special.

Great location just steps away from the beach. Beautiful setting. Our site had water and electricity in C loop. Nice historical sites that we visited. Body light house was just a short drive away and the Wright Brothers National Monument is a must see if you have any interest in aviation.

great campground at the heart of the Outerbanks. only let down is the shower situation. they have two showers with outside stalls. so if it is cold out you will be cold.
@Estebanc666EDC · Camped on Nov 9, 2024 at Campsite #A6
Showers were warm, bathrooms were clean, drinking fountain was made for bottle fills, amazing experience. I went in November.
@RobertC4745893 · Camped on Nov 8, 2024 at Campsite #B40
Was my first time setting up my camper. The grounds are nice and the Rangers were great.
@SeanD7997205 · Camped on Nov 7, 2024 at Campsite #C24
This is a good campground, and I appreciate that a small part of it has had electricity and water added. The common areas were quite clean and everything offered worked. It's tough to book on of those very popular sites, Hopefully that will be expanded. There is a notice across the street at the Marina (where the dump station is located) that next month it (the dump station) won't be available, as they are making upgrades to that area. It would be good for the campground to post that. No issues with the camp ground host. Beautiful spot, one of my go-to places.

Very clean. Beautiful spot.
@DrewW4844495 · Camped on Nov 7, 2024 at Campsite #A30
Have used this campground multiple times while in the area. It's close to the places I needed to be, and had decent restrooms and campsites. Would stay here again.
@KevinM8804744 · Camped on Nov 6, 2024 at Campsite #B38
Very close.to fishing at the Bonner Bridge pier. Nice e shower and bathroom.
@BobF7273669 · Camped on Nov 6, 2024 at Campsite #B17
I use this facility when I'm photographing the national wildlife reserves nearby. For a senior with a pass, it's the cheapest campground in the area. I like it.
@JohnL4419148 · Camped on Nov 6, 2024 at Campsite #A13
Love the site. Close to beach. Only reason not 5 star is because there is alot of road noise. Road noise gets better the later in the evening it gets.
@RogerH7061222 · Camped on Nov 6, 2024 at Campsite #C6
Great campground, and an awesome location. So great to have hot showers!
@JohnM1144946 · Camped on Nov 5, 2024 at Campsite #A21
was a nice breeze in the evening, the morning was still and the mosquitos chased me away, bring plenty of bug spray. nice sites, road noise can be a bit of a problem for light sleepers in tents
@SusanF5244064 · Camped on Nov 4, 2024 at Campsite #B35
Quiet location with access to the beach over the dunes. Near to all the shops and restaurants but feels a world away. Caution, burrs abound and get in the dog's paws if you walk them off the pavement
@CarolB85B288E9 · Camped on Nov 4, 2024 at Campsite #B32
Need to make more dump stations and then improve location signs to get to dump.
@JamesO5997593 · Camped on Nov 2, 2024 at Campsite #C39
This is our second trip to Oregon Inlet campground. We really like it. We were there in November and enjoyed seeing thousands of birds both on the beach and in the nearby Pea Island NWR. Facilities were clean and in good condition.
@AndrewP1911421 · Camped on Nov 2, 2024 at Campsite #A20
Plenty of austere, primitive barrier island nature here. Warm showers are a plus after swimming in cold months.
@williams984835 · Camped on Nov 1, 2024 at Campsite #A5
We don't have much to compare this to, but we really enjoyed our stay and will be going back. We love the open access and the ability to check in late. The bathrooms are dated but clean. We had no issues. No noisy neighbors or anything negative. The beach access for 4x4 is great. We can't wait to go back and try the other campgrounds too.
@RobertJ5338880 · Camped on Oct 31, 2024 at Campsite #B12
This was our last leg on the way home and it was a relaxing stay!
@JenniferDEB02C · Camped on Oct 31, 2024 at Campsite #A22
The camp site was great this was our 2nd time coming to this location. Love that it's so close to the beach. Noone bothers you. The shower area and the bathroom area well kept. If you need run to a store for anything it's only like a 14 to 17 min drive away. The absolute only bad thing me and my family hated was there are these spike like things from little plants that you step on so wear shoes. They get everywhere, my poor dogs was getting them in their paws. But really other than that this place is amazing.
@SteveH6337222 · Camped on Oct 28, 2024 at Campsite #B36
My favorite campground.
@BeckyL4177998 · Camped on Oct 27, 2024 at Campsite #C31
Love this campground. We come for two weeks in the spring and fall. Park rangers are the best! Large spacious sites! Clean bath houses!
@StephenYB5F94A · Camped on Oct 27, 2024 at Campsite #C11
Stall showers outside- hot water but cold air blows in around you
@SteveB4787856 · Camped on Oct 26, 2024 at Campsite #C5
I really like this campground and location. Great access to the ocean.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

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.

@Wondering - Oregon

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

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!!!
