OBX Campground

Park is clean and the maintenance is okay. The 30 amp plug for our site did not work, so we had to get our dogbone out and use the 50 amp. Not that big a deal.

Location is convenient by car to Kitty Hawk and the Outer Banks. This is not a walkable campground as the roads leading in are not pedestrian friendly.

The showers and public bathrooms were not open and no reason was given.

Prior to arriving, the owner emphasized that no pit bulls/rotweillers/aggressive dogs are not allowed, however, the first day we saw a couple walking two pitbulls around the campground.

We stayed for a week in the latter part of October, 2021. This is off-season and the traffic in is light to reasonable. I'm pretty sure the traffic is heavy June through mid-September.
This is a beautiful campground with great views and great location.

We arrived Sunday after 2:00 pm. The office was closed but paperwork and instructions were handy and clear. The campground called a day or two before to notify us of this procedure.

The sites are level, solid gravel with large grassy areas. The sites are huge and easily accessible back-ins. They appear to be well drained although it did not rain while we were here. Utilities are in good shape with FHU, cable and 50A. The laundry room has only two washers but a full laundromat is about 3 miles away. Grocery, dining, activities, fuel and stores are 3-5 miles. Walmart is 10 miles away in Kitty Hawk.

Activities on-site are limited. There is a small playground and no pool. There is plenty to do nearby. The location is amazing. It is close enough to town that errands are not a chore. Miles of National Seashores, state parks, open beaches, wildlife areas, fabulous scenery and a wealth of activities are just a short drive away. Several miles of paved, off-street biking/walking/running paths a about 1-1/2 miles away with public parking at the town office. I would not recommend riding to the path due to the narrow roads on the island.

We have recently taken up photography as a hobby. This is a target rich environment for photographers with a wealth of great photo locations. Lighthouses, seascapes, dunes, wildlife and people are all nearby.

We will definitely be back. Probably in late October and early November of next year. We will stay for a couple of weeks.

We had 2 to 4 bars of Verizon LTE, depending on the time of day. T-Mobile is 3 bars of 4G.

Campground was just ok. Location good - off the main road but close to shopping, restaurants beaches of Kitty Hawk area. Sites very nice, large and level and most with water views. Beautiful beach about a mile away.
No firepits. And my biggest issue was the bathrooms and showers were closed "due to co-vid."
It's Sept 2021 - absolutely zero reason for bathrooms to still be closed some 18 months later....
$70 a nite with no fire, no toilets and no showers
(but hey that beautiful beach one mile down the street...? Has cold water outdoor rinsing showers, so could be an option if things get desperate....)

Stayed here for a week to enjoy the Outer Banks. Location was minutes to the beach and Wright Brothers Memorial and convenient to everything we wanted to see. Sites were well spaced, level and ours was one of 3 sites that had a water view out the back window. No WiFi or cable but we’re able to stream with AT&T. But the nightly fee seemed high for a campground that had no amenities other than a tiny outdoor laundry. If it was $20 a night cheaper I would have rated it 5 stars.

We really enjoyed staying at OBX Campground. Worked 2 weeks here (wifi through AT&T) and had no problem hitting the tower. This campground is a perfect mix of clean, spacious and friendly.

One of the washing machines was down for maintenance and we were told they will be getting new ones next year.

If you're coming to the Outer Banks, this is the place to stay!

We stayed at site 19 for 7 days. The sites are fairly quiet, fairly nicely spaced, particularly for a private RV park. The sites are FHU with 50A service. There is some occasional road noise, but not too bad. AT&T had 2 bars and 6 MB/s w/o a booster, 2 bars and 8 MB/s with it. The sites are all open, so satellite coverage is good, so as a result, we did not check OTA TV reception. Lots of open area to walk the dog and there were lots of other dogs here. Grounds are kept very clean and mowed. Very conveniently located near the Wright brothers' site.

With good weather window, we decided on a last minute trip just before NYE to the OBX. Found this campground on Campendium, excellent location for our travel route there and halfway on NC12 for sightseeing N and S over 2 days. Campground was clean, well maintained, good amenities, full hookups, great views and tucked away a bit from main road. Dirt road off of paved road, a little pot holed, but nothing bad. Bathhouse clean and spacious; and, heater worked great - good with those strong ocean winds blowing through. Site level with small gravel fill. Nestled at rear of neighborhood of mostly commercial crabbers (all quiet during winter) but would have loved to have seen the ‘shedding’ operations in full force! Would definitely stay again if we head back that way.
