This is an awful campground. No Utilities, cold water showers, located right on the road, the beach is a long walk away, and it is not even a good beach. The only reason I stayed there was it is the closest campground to Nags Head and Manteo. The worst part was the lack of security. When the ranger on duty leaves, there is absolutely no one in control. No gate, only sporadic patrol, no campground host. Quiet hours are supposed to start at 10 p.m. but there is no enforcement of the rules. People ride through making noise all night and groups have loud parties. A whole group of campers complained to the ranger about a loud drunken party the night before (with air horns and car horns blowing until 3 a.m.) but the offenders were only given a warning and were not even asked to leave. I left earlier than I had intended because I did not feel safe. I plan to complain to the National Parks Service. I will never stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is no place for older folks in a motorhome unless you enjoy dry camping. Motorhomes can only use the "C" loop. Generators cannot be used at night. While we were there, the toilets for that loop were under repair. If you are looking for a beach location, this is "not" it. It's a good 800 yards to the beach up and down dunes. It was so hot while we were there, we gave up 4 prepaid nights and where able to find another campground with electric. We camped here in a Motorhome.
