The amenities were way above par. Huge pool with hot tub. Tiki bar. On site restaurant (Shielas). I love this place for the simple things. Super dog friendly, everyone waves and says hi, and fun activities all day long. The furthest campsite from the beach is only about a 4 minute walk. I would suggest this campground to anyone visiting OBX. It's clean, friendly and the best KOA I've ever been to.

I got the nature peace, beautiful sceneries, and the conveniences I love in one spot. Plus, there is this vibe that says "your safe, this is a community". Plus, they love dogs.

There are actually 2 separate fenced in runs. How smart to put bark down! It rained Saturday night and Sunday am when we got here, but instead of the dog parks being muddy messes, the bark absorbed the water. Less mess in the camper - NICE! I will say that the standard sites are very close together. Perfectly fine for an overnight stay, but way too close for our 5th wheel (we were in site 18). Since we were staying Saturday through Wednesday, we asked Sunday morning if we could switch sites and the staff was very accommodating! We moved to 86 and were thrilled! This is a beautiful location and the staff is amazing! We plan to return to this fantastic town in the future and we will definitely stay here.

I wish more places had covered picnic areas on site to rent. This would be one of those places. The wind was rough and we couldn't keep our canopy up. The lime on the shower faucet and water pressure in the bathroom could be improved. Vinegar once a week in a baggie on the shower head would be a great start! Otherwise, fabulous facilities as far as updated and cleanliness. The laundry area was clean and priced fairly. We found the facilities, while older pretty nice. Seasonal rates would be welcomed at off season times, but I suppose they aren't interested in extra income for unused sites. All in all though, this is a great place for a week.

The Conf center with sound views was spacious and clean, perfect for accommodating our meetings and activities scheduled during our stay. The bath house was clean and spacious and well maintained. All sites have full hook ups and were in great shape with level concrete pads and picnic tables. There are plenty of water sports activities to enjoy within walking distance to the campground as well as several restaurants and shops.

Pros: Very short walk to the beach - no roads to cross Friendly owners Weekly bingo night - kids were welcome Cheap laundry! Reasonable rates (for the outer banks at least) Friendly regulars Less windy that nearby places due to dunes/trees Ghost crabs and bioluminescent plankton in the sand (on dark nights) Lots to do within a 90min drive north or south Dogs, dogs everywhere Cons: Short spaces / 90 degree back-ins (especially for larger rigs) - you will likely have to ask neighbors to move vehicles (but they were willing to do so) Limited parking for tow vehicles/extra vehicles No fires allowed (even propane fire pits!) - but you can have a fire on the beach Our site had some standing water after a rainy night, but was otherwise mostly dry. Other sites had it worse. Can't pick your site -- they assign it upon arrival Limited amenities (small pool, small playground) but the setting is what you're here for, so ‍ Sand all over everything (but that's beach life) 20-40 min to a grocery store that is not Dollar General or an expensive convenience store Overall we enjoyed our time here. If we came back we might choose a different place due to our rig size, but after reading other reviews and having serious anxiety, it was not as bad as some made it out to be.

Let me start by saying the owner and employee we met were very nice and did their best to…read moreaccommodate us. That being said this RV Park needs a lot of TLC and repairs. It appears to be home to mostly long term residents who take no pride in their RV's or their sites. Trash and junk stacked outside of the RV's. What few lots that were available to over night guests were not well maintained and had trash on them. The lot we were put on looked like a long term resident had just been removed. Trash, cement blocks, wire, zip ties and empty bottles on the site. They have also removed the cable TV and the WiFi is non existent. Cell phone coverage is also very sketchy. Overall I could not recommend this park. They got a 2 because they did their best with what they have.

We had the car almost go dead on us after only a few miles (it was ok after that) and they actually brought another car to make sure that it wasn't the car. We opted to keep the two seater. It was a lot of fun, but a little on the pricey side. We would rent again just due to the care and customer experience!

We liked the outdoor showers but they could use a few new wood boards. The sites are a little close to one another but our camper is small so we didn't have issues. It could be trickier with large campers. The owner was friendly and was very understanding when we didn't have enough cash. Make a note: they only take cash or check! There's an ATM at the bank and variety store. Also, they start taking reservations in March and you have to call ahead! Not sure how fast they fill up. They also don't allow fires because of the city ordinances. Ocracoke was such a fun trip and this campground was a perfect place to stay with our camper!

Renting a golf cart we found to be the best way to explore the island in a day (which is at the intersection as your coming out of the campground). Also, found a great coffee shop in the neighborhood near the campground run by locals. All in all, this was a pretty clean campsite compared to others we have stayed at during our road trip this summer so far. We enjoyed it so much, we are going back this week to stay and look for apartments in Ocracoke.

I made my reservation about two weeks ahead of time, finding a good number of spots available. It's…read moreworth noting that none of the spaces actually face the ocean or the inlet - there are trees between the campground and the highway on one side and there are 15 foot tall dunes on the other. So really, just pick any space that isn't next to the dumpster. Some folks had their cars parked and were in tents so that may be an option for you. I arrived before dark and had no problem finding my designated space that had a marker indicating my name and my dates of check in and out. After parking, I heated up dinner at my designated picnic table, enjoyed a discreet beer and then climbed the dune (on a designated path!) to watch the ocean waves for a bit. It's beautiful and there was so much room that I had a half mile of sandy beach to myself. Absolutely stunning. There are no lifeguards so be careful if you decide to swim. I did not. A quick shower in the shower cabin (cold water only!) and I locked up for the night. It was quiet and peaceful. In the morning, I was up just before Sunrise and on my way north for the ferry terminal to Hatteras. The campground has a dump station that is free if you're staying here. Other than the showers and some bathrooms, there isn't much else here. [Review 782 of 2025 - 4214 in North Carolina - 24342 overall]

Cons. *All sites are standard, non-electric. *showers would open only on April 1st. *watch out for sand spurs. At a minimum, they're irritating but they can also hurt!
