Rating: 7 7 9 9 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Campground was a little tight for our camper but we were able to get into our site without too much trouble. Site was fairly level and all utilities were good except fot the sewer hook-up. But I finally figured out that I just needed to adjust the height of the hoses and it worked fine after that. CG was conviently located for our stay at the outer banks and we enjoyed it. The free Wi-fi was not easy to connect to all of the time. But CG was very quiet and relaxing. Will probably stay here again when we are in the area. - dakota ev
Super nice people. Tight for a 36'. Bring your tow or bikes, it is a little far to beach and town. We had our bikes so we had fun with those. Kind of far from town and it was very hot so if we had of stayed longer probably would have been a little bored. Sewer hookup is 45°, drains only fair. Would go back but only for a short period. - Jim and Tina
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Sands of Time Campground »We stayed here as a base for exploring Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The CG is off the beaten path in the Village of Avon (Kinnakeet) and is quiet. Without a pool, playground or other activities it is excellent for mature campers. The seasonal sites are scattered throughout and are well kept. Staff and service are excellent! Friendly and helpful. Shopping and services are close by. Access to the beaches and Pamlico Sound are a short bicycle ride or walk away. (5/15, respectively) We will stay here again! - Lou Casper

Rating: 5 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Island Hide-A-Way Campground »This is a very small campground. Most of the sites are permanent sites, there are very few nightly sites and it is very tight. The most I can say about this campground is that the owner is very nice, and the bath house was clean. It is just a parking space for your camper. There are no activities, no play ground and no pool. The price is good, at only $25 per night. - Carol & Mike Lawson

Rating: 7 5 10 8 1 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Narrow gravel roads, level grass sites with adjacent concrete patio. Utilities work fine. Bath facilities are old, but clean. Park is well maintained and quiet. Many full timers, but spaces appear well kept. Good dog walking areas. Cable good; wifi would not connect. Would stay again. - LoneWolf
This campground was an acceptable place to stay during our stopover and visit to Ocracoke Island. Access through the gate into the park and along the internal paved roads was tight for our motorhome, as were the sites. The 50-amp service and water pressure were good. The site surface was dirt, fairly level, and it held up well as we departed after a torrential rain. The bathrooms, showers and laundry room were very old and in rough shape, although they seemed clean. Most of the sites contained seasonal trailers in various condition, mostly not so good. We would probably not stay here again. - LowesTravels

Rating: 8 7 7 5 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This is a national park campground. You know what that means -- no electric, no sewer, no water connection. There is potable water widely available but the end of the spigots have been sawn off, meaning you cannot attach a hose to them. We went to the hardware store and bought supplies to rig up a system because we ran out of fresh water on day 3. Dump station on Light house road. About 100+ campsites. Fewer than a dozen campers the four nights we were here. There aren't any wonderful views in the campground, so it really doesn't matter which site you choose. We parked next to one of the toilet houses for convenience sake. Loop K backs up against some low scrubby shrubs. Everything else is wide open. Plenty of space between campsites - 25+ feet - but no screening. It rained hard one day, creating pools of standing water that took hours to dissipate. Try to pick a "high" spot. Warning: do not get off into the grass. It is soggy and you'll be spinning wheels. I would not want to stay here in July or August, with the sun beating down, no shade, and no hookups for fans or AC. - GordonsvilleGal
As stated in other reviews this is a huge open field just in shore from the beach. Not as close to the beach as I though it would be. We camped in site K22 which is right by the beach parking and from the parking area it is still a bit of a hike (1/4 to 1/2 mile) especially if you plan to fish and carry equipment. I mistakenly believed you could have a fire on the beach (no campfires in this park) by the campground but no suck luck. The only place you can have a beach fire is on Buxton (or one of the other town's) beach right in front of the town. The parks was not crowded and very peaceful. This park has not hookups but does have bathrooms and cold showers (we didn't use either). We camped with a Yamaha 2400 generator and it was a life saver with the A/C running through the heat of the day (nice to be able to cool of after a hot day on the beach). Generator hours are 6am to 10pm. The night were mild (75-77) but very muggy and it helped that we faced the camper to the south to make use of the prevailing SSE wind blowing in through the screen door at night. Without the breeze and being in a camper with few windows I think it would have been tough sleeping. Overall it is a good campground. The roads and pads are showing their age but the pads are level. Lots of wildlife to see. I would stay here again but not June through mid-September. Just a little tough with the heat. One final note. The campground is open all night and while there are rangers making patrols there is the possibility of theft. 2 young guys in a site a few over from ours had their kayaks stolen. With such a big area and so few campers in the park it's very easy to drive through and steal someones belongings and not be noticed. - Joe J
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Cape Hatteras National Seashore, Cape Point Campground »We arrived midweek early in the season so lots of sites to choose from. Site are in wide open field with paved roads and pads. Picnic tables and grills at every site but no fire rings (no fires permitted, just cooking fires on grills). Check in was self-service - choose a site, go back to building and fill out form and leave payment (NOTE: CASH ONLY - No checks, no one to make change in you're on Senior Pass (½ price). Sites are 90 degrees to roads so you end up driving on grass to fit on to site - if there's been rain, the grass will be rather wet. It was very windy while we were there and we had to change sites after a few days because the new wind direction kept blowing out the furnace pilot light. You are 1 ½ miles from Hatteras Light and there is a dump station w/potable water along that road. Campground is surrounded by dunes and marsh areas - no direct ocean view. Access to beaches is over ¾ miles depending on which section you head to and where in the campground you start. There are 2 types of bathhouses on the property. Larger buildings have toilets and sinks, while smaller buildings are showers (think tv show MASH type of showers). All COLD Water only. No hookups at sites but generators are allowed during the day. - yesmar

Rating: 8 6 6 9 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Stayed here in our 21' travel trailer and enjoyed our time. We showed up after the check-in station had closed but instructions to select an open site and come back to mark it down were clear and easy to follow. Staff at the park was very friendly the next morning. We had a reservation(non-site specific reservations only) but there were tons of sites to choose from had we just showed up. The roads and some of the sites were a little tight for bigger rigs, but we did see some 30+ foot RV's and 5th wheels. Dump station is down the highway about 15 mins at the other NPS campground. Only a few small downsides to this campground. One, I feel like $28/night is a little expensive for dry camping. Two, if you are planning on going to do things in Kitty Hawk it is about 1hr 20mins drive from the campground. Lastly, the biting bugs here are relentless. Despite this we really enjoyed our time in this quiet, out of the way campground. - sjeuck
Most National Park campgrounds have potable water fills and dump stations at their entrance, or inside the campground. The three Cape Hatteras campgrounds we visited decided to break with this pattern and place theirs at undisclosed locations, and not necessarily near the campgrounds. (Potable water is available from spigots throughout each campground, but I have been told those are not to be used for filling fresh water tanks.) Frisco Campground was less than 1/3 full when we visited in early May. The volunteer host thought the sites were too small, and the turns too tight, for our 35 ft 5th wheel and tow vehicle. We managed with little difficulty, but another foot of length might have been too much. To fill our tank, we had to go approximately 6 miles north of the campground to a location near the Cape Hatteras lighthouse where there was a potable water spigot and dump station. While the station's features were labelled, there were no directional signs to guide you to it, nor was it noted on the literature provided upon check-in. The volunteer who checked us in provided very vague instructions for finding it. Even a Park Ranger near the lighthouse did not know its location. - JackSchmotzer

Rating: 9 8 9 7 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stayed 3 nights in site B18 which is not officially "Sound Front" but may as well be. The sunset was incredible. The night sky on Hatteras Island was amazing. The staff was friendly and helpful. Upgrades were ongoing to some facilities which shows that the owners care. The gaps to excellence were that one trip to the restroom late at night ended with no toilet paper and, Monday morning, the dumpsters were overflowing. I would definitely recommend this campground and will plan a future visit. - Andrew-Debra-1991
We were in site C21, a beautiful site that puts you literally just feet away from the water. With a 15' 50 amp extension cord and two water hoses, we were able to pull in forward facing so we had a view of the sound out the front window. Without those accessories, you will have to back in. This CG is easy to get into and out of, and has good interior roads. No problems getting level. The major plus is the view. The major disadvantage is it was an hour or more away from most of the Outer Bank attractions we wanted to visit (e.g., 100 miles from the wild horses beach, and at least an hour from Kitty Hawk). - Thor MC

You can have anything from on the sound waterfront sites, to canal boating, to secluded. Camp is like my own, with several small sections that each have their own flavor. Away from but within minutes to marinas, ferries and beaches. Simple grocery and fishing tackle shop 1/2 mile south. many cable tv channels. little ota tv. - SDCampowneroperator

Rating: 9 7 7 2 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This was our first time staying at this campground. The spaces are close, with a small "yard" adequate for a canopy and picnic table. We had a waterfront back in site, which is a canal, with FHU. Our TT is small so space was not an issue. The pool was clean and in good order, not too harsh on the chemicals. The bath houses were cleaned daily, and had ample supplies. There are three showers available and a large bath counter for getting ready or bed time. Very convenient to town and the ferry. Shopping and dining are close by. We love coming to Hatteras and we will definitely return to Hatteras Sands. - CLewis
Stayed here in prep for taking the Ferry. Can you say "tight"? Our 40ft motorhome bareley fit on the site. Had to move heavy picnic table to get on site. All sites had table on the pad, protecting sites from something. Tent campers and motorhomes mixed together. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Probably would stay here again as most of the campgrounds on Cape Hatteras seem to be tight. - parduelay

Rating: 9 8 8 7 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We have avoided this park for a while since having a bad experience a number of years ago but decided to try it again. It is the same it always was. The sites are tight but you have grass and you are close to the beach that is the main attraction. It is also pretty quiet before the summer and the kids descend. I am in a much smaller unit now so no issue backing in but for a longer unit the back ins might be tight. - John S.
Smaller campground immediately adjacent to the beach. Two other massive campgrounds a few blocks away, but this one is lower cost and just as close to the beach. Decent amount of space between sites. Good Verizon and T-Mobile. Note that many businesses on this part of the outer banks don't open until mid-April. Owner should make the office area more inviting/welcoming. I would camp here again. - Millermw
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Ocean Waves Campground »We stayed 7 days and had a wonderful time. We were assigned site #58 which has full hookups and a level concrete pad with a patch of grass. The only bad thing about the park is it can be a tight squeeze with longer rigs with all the trucks parked at the end of their sites. The sites can accommodate motorhomes and 5th wheels up to 45 feet with no problems. The only thing that separates this campground from the ocean is a sand dune. We love staying at family run campground which is half the price of the two bigger campgrounds one block down the road. - NC RV Travler

Rating: 6 8 8 8 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This is a large, busy and I'm sure usually packed park. It is clean, modern and well run. The sites however are quite cramped. They have many wifi nodes with good signal however even with the park only about half full we were able to download maybe 3 simple webpages in 3 days, and the rest of the time nothing at all. The park was filled with unruly constantly barking dogs in many trailers who's owners just left them in trailers all day with windows open. Although this is a "neighbor issue" it seemed that this was the culture of the entire park. The laundry facilities were great, and of course the ocean access was truly wonderful and what you are paying for. Next time will try an other park in the area, although I'm sure they are all quite crowded. - camperkatie
All and all a very nice place to stay. We registered in a very clean and helpful office and our site was paved. It was level and setup was easy. The roads were a bit narrow for maneuvering, but all and all a nice place to stay. 50 amp power was solid. We noticed that the Wi-Fi kept dropping out after a torrential down-pour and gale. The place itself is a wide open location and not any place for shad. Next time we go, we will attempt to get next to the sand dune and beach. - D-Miller

So much so they offered us 1/2 price on the weekend to stay an extra day. Very convenient access to the beach. Well equipped store and restaurant.

Rating: 8 9 10 8 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Rate is for CtoC. They only allow CtoC to stay for 7 nights at the CtoC rate. CtoC are only allowed in the center of the park nothing close to the beach or sound. In my opinion the standard rates are just to high for what you get. They have both and indoor and outdoor pool with game room and rec center. Despite lots of WiFi 'repeaters', WiFi only worked in the rec room. Restrooms were clean but rustic. Cable is an extra $3. Sewer connections are in the rear. Not much in the immediate area except the beach of course. Would stay again only on CtoC rate. - newbies2016
Huge campground with paved sites and picnic table. There is still a nice piece of grass next to each site as well as behind some sites. FHU sites; water quality is good; electric good. Park has access to the beach and a pavilion with dock to the beach as well. It is the Cape Hatteras National Seashore but dogs are allowed on the beach. The park offers Wifi and cable; big tennis court, playground, mini golf, shuffleboard, bike rentals, swimming pools, clubhouse. They have a big dog park. There is a sidewalk for walking and bike riding. It's a very nice park and the people here are very friendly. Manager has been here 30 years. - Kerch Family
