We absolutely loved this campground. We loved that it wasn't priced through the roof. Camping site was clean and well maintained. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves crashing was so relaxing. The night sky was filled with stars. We can't wait to come back!

@JonathanM29727 · Camped on Aug 21, 2024 at Campsite #A4

We went with a northeast wind, was perfect. The campsite was clean and there were plenty available to choose from. We stayed at A-4 and were able to walk to the beach at night with almost a full.moon to guide us. Place was basically empty ad it was so peaceful. We will be back.

@GingerKF4E73C6 · Camped on Aug 3, 2024 at Campsite #E18

The kids love it here!!!

@ChipDA389AF7D0 · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #J027

Clean, well maintained and quiet. A great choice for primitive Camping.

@EmilyS1613279 · Camped on Jul 8, 2024 at Campsite #E15

Cape point had a bad reputationpark rangers cringed when we shared our plan to stay. However, we had a great time! If it hasnt rained in a while, the mosquitos were not any worse than other sites along the outer banks. Morning and evening shade provided by nearby bushes. Otherwise, its a big open field (though quick access to a beach was a major plus).

@KurtFB551AD58A · Camped on Jul 5, 2024 at Campsite #H019

Everything was great, especially the clean grounds and lawnscape, but the night was partly ruined for sleeping due to a group of adjacent campsites on row K who had noisy kids, a loud generator, and a string of bright lights shining well after 10pm, lasting past midnight. We woke up the next morning to it's sound.I think park needs a ranger to drive through after 10pm to enforce quite time, at least during busy times (weekends & holidays). Asshole Patrol! :-)

@PeterG8163131 · Camped on Jul 4, 2024 at Campsite #E7

Cape Point is a great campground.

@MadisonB522016 · Camped on Jul 3, 2024 at Campsite #K024

We come here multiple times during the year and will continue to return! Its always so clean and well manicured. Weve always had good luck of scoring a spot whenever we just show up so we can scout out where wed like to sleep before buying our night, but Memorial Day was packed to the brim this year while the 4th was overflowing with empty camp spots. We absolutely love the ability to go to the beach thats literally right there. Most beautiful view of the lighthouse, cant wait for the renovation project to be complete so we can climb it!

@RobertW9AA4CB2 · Camped on Jun 14, 2024 at Campsite #D10

Location is good. Poor drainage at most sites. Showers could use water warmed a bit from sun and could be accomplished with simple holding tank, not expensive of complicated just common sense.

@JasonG2268691 · Camped on Jun 7, 2024 at Campsite #G16

Great location and quiet. Only down fall is showers and bathrooms are covered in bugs and spiders. The bathroom sinks dont seem to want to shut off properly and washing your hands can be interesting since the sink was filled with roaches and little black bugs crawling all over. Besides that area was clean. All Neighbors was quiet and seeing some officers parked close to entrance gave a sense of security. 8/10

@RuthD5591786 · Camped on Jun 4, 2024 at Campsite #I008

Sites had plenty of space, and all close to restrooms (clean) and showers (clean, cold). Beautiful location near Hatteras Lighthouse, currently being reinforced after a move, a must-see despite scaffolding and -learn about at the Visitor Center for its history. A good base from which to tour the island, also to go to Ocracoke. Beaches are great for romantic or quiet walks, wildlife watching, swimming, and ocean fishing. Nearby towns have some camping supplies, but best to have the basic needs. Have bug spray for the campground during warm months, as sites are on grass with shrubs. No tree shade, so bring shade with you (stand-up tents). Sunscreen and a hat/head cover are essential.

@JoshuaJDFDC2C1 · Camped on Jun 1, 2024 at Campsite #K016

Great for a outdoor tent camping trip experience for a fisherman

@TomB7022535 · Camped on May 26, 2024 at Campsite #J011

very nice place to get lots of walking in. bathrooms are great. showers are cold as there is no hot water, made them very invigorating!! cant beat the $20 dollars a night. make sure you take your solar lights. ( showers are dark, no lighting in them)

@EmilyAE59F5A36 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #H015

We stay here every chance we get

@EricG3571303 · Camped on May 14, 2024 at Campsite #E10

Always clean, quiet, perfect for us !!

@williams984835 · Camped on May 9, 2024 at Campsite #D1

Perfect!

@nancyt2937347 · Camped on May 3, 2024 at Campsite #I012

Excellent!

@MontyB62790352 · Camped on Nov 20, 2023 at Campsite #A4

Cant wait to stay there again

@LudivineD07637 · Camped on Nov 7, 2023 at Campsite #B6

We had a great night at this campground, especially for this price ! And in November we booked online when we arrived so it was easy to plan. It would have been nice to indicate that the showers are cold. It was not that nice in November :)

@ThomasW1659833 · Camped on Nov 7, 2023 at Campsite #J027

Lovely place - totally wide open with only a few RVers when we visited in early Nov.Website should make it easier to change sites after arriving -we wanted maximum sun and on arriving noticed better open sites. And on last night, we had someone next to us-even though park was only 5% full.

@AndrewS4701634 · Camped on Nov 6, 2023 at Campsite #J016

Early November (2023) the camp is close to deserted. Pick your spot.Everywhere is somewhat wet. The place is not a swamp, but when you leave the pavement, it's close.We enjoyed the seclusion... and it's close to an iconic lighthouse!

@DavidB5075483 · Camped on Nov 3, 2023 at Campsite #K012

We had a great time at the campground, it was clean and very well maintained. Being cold and rainy, it would have been more fun if the showers had hot water (instant on or even passive solar), but the cold water got me energized in the evening I guess, haha.

@TravisM2414952 · Camped on Oct 29, 2023 at Campsite #B5

The campsite I chose was completely water logged. I am aware that this campground is a very low lying area. I was going to just move to another campsite but was unable to change my campsite online. There was barely anyone at this campground, so it shouldn't have been a problem. But the website absolutely SUCKS to navigate, and I was unable to switch campsites so I ultimately ended up sleeping in my car. I have stayed here a couple times, but I will avoid staying here again unless there is nothing else available. There also was no hot water in the shower. I don't know if there was supposed to be hot water, but it wasn't on and I don't know who is going to take an outdoor shower in 55-60 degree weather without hot water.

@CraigB4500034 · Camped on Oct 27, 2023 at Campsite #G4

Nice quiet place to stay, restrooms were very clean! If you are looking to take a shower the water is cold. In off season wait to reserve your spot, its best to look at the dryness of the different sites then reserve the one suitable. Enjoyed the nearby beach! The Hatteras Light House flash can be quite bright at night depending on which site you choose. Don't forget your mosquito spray. Good experience!

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!!!
