Like many of the reviewers here, our stay at Ocracoke was wonderful, although not bug free. In mid-June, though, mosquitos were not the problem, but we did encounter horse flies and some kind of reddish, flying beetle-like bug. We camped in the grassy area (B32, I believe), near the creek, which gave us the lovely sound of frogs croaking at... More

Overflowing with natural beauty! Am amazing once for the family. A bit of confusion with site reservation & assignment ( per website can not reserve specific site obviously but could specify loop) this is contrary to what we found on arrival, not a huge deal. We also were initially directed to a site which had just been claimed. Once sorted... More

This past Memorial Day Weekend I had the great opportunity to spend it at Ocracoke Campground with 4 friends. We had a great time. It's a few miles away from the village and steps away from the water. We bought fresh fish from the village and cooked it at a fire on the beach at night (need a free fire... More

I live in Montreal Canada, I grow in Gaspe Peninsula next to the ocean and on weekends we would go to our camp in the forest with big dear flies and mosquitoes I thought I know about mosquitoes. Nothing can prepare you for Ocracoke camping ground. In Ocracoke the mosquitoes get out at 6:45 PM when the sun stats start... More

Wonderful location. Lots of sites with just a short walk over the dune to the beach. Only $23/night - lots of space, each site has a grill, very clean. Bathrooms fine, only problem was Mosquitos but thats nature!

We stayed at this campground during the weekend before the labor day weekend. Our site was in the B loop, on the dune side. Overall, the nicest thing about this campground is its proximity to the beach. You can walk to the beach within 5 minutes. Surprisingly, we did not have a bug problem. We had minimal bug spray on...

If you've read all the reviews so far, I know what you're thinking: Oh, I can probably handle the mosquitoes. It can't be that bad, this place sounds so pretty! That's what we thought. So we came prepared. 4 Clip on OFF Bug things with the fans, Citronella candles, a 10x10 mosquito tent, 5 big bug sticks that smoke, That... More

We visited Oregon inlet, Frisco, cape point (cape Hatteras) camp sites and this was definitely the best site in south OBX. I was very worried about the bugs per other reviews, but we stayed in the B loop and D loop (closer to the dunes) and didn't have much of a problem. We used some spray with Deet and were... More

I checked these reviews before going on vacation to Ocracoke and decided that we would stay at either beachcomber or Teeters campground because they had better reviews than this campground, but let me say I was sooooo very suprised. This is the most picturesque site in Ocracoke, we were very happy with the accomodations and staff. We stayed in D13,... More

The campground is situated right behind the dunes of the beach. You really can't get any closer (the farthest site allows beach access within a leisurely 10 minute walk). I camped at site D-36 the first week of August. This site was very spacious but right by one of the 4 orange dumpsters. The side that D-36 was on is... More
