We chose to catch it from the Outer Banks from the Ocracoke side going to Cedar Island.Its a great ride to relax...enjoy the Atlantic and maybe even catch some Z-Z-Z's in your car(which is what I saw many Mom and Pop's doing. We chose to get out of our car walk around It was a stormy day, so there was a big group of us taking pictures of the lightning on the water.So fun! I got a great shot of the lightning(which is now my Screen Saver on my computer). The ferry is followed the WHOLE way by seagulls. They have been so domesticated by the tourists/locals that they will even take the food out of your hand. We are locals and we take all our visiting friends and families on the ferry to the Outer banks and we tell them, if your going to feed the seagulls, be prepared to get the "Fall Out" from them like 10 minutes later....literally! It goes right through them. There are Bathrooms on board. Cleanliness is not their main concern, but to know there is facilities is reasurring. There is a closed in area with seating.They have tables where we found lots of people playing cards or reading. Even during the stormy weather, the seas did not shake up the ferry, so I dont think being sea sick will be a factor. There was no snack bar, so if your going to be hungry, take something on board. We took Pizza.I wrote about that in my review on "Ocracoke Pizza Company". You HAVE to make reservations for this ferry.You also have to be there 1/2 hour prior to leaving, or you can lose your reserved spot. It cost us $15.00 dollars one way with 6 people in a van. Prices vary with your mode of transportation. One thing you can do, is park your car at one of the ports, walk-on board and that costs $1.00. Or take a bike on board and bike the island.That will cost you $3.00. Overall it's a great way to get from port to port.

This is the first time that I've ever come to hate getting on a ferry…read more My partner & I rushed to this ferry after getting off of one from Hatteras to Ocracoke. The one that we just got off runs every 30 mins. We found out that this one runs every 3 hours. However, we had just gotten off the previous ferry. We had an hour until the next ferry. The problem was that it was going to take an hour to drive from one end of the Ocracoke Island to the other side. So, we zoomed. One other thing, you gotta have reservations. You can do without a reservation but you'll be set on the side as standby. We lucked out. We were the very last car allowed in and the only one without a reservation. We definitely didn't want to wait 3 hours for the next ferry ride. BUT, it sucked to discover that this ferry ride was 2 1/2 hours long. Ok, not too bad at first. BUT, we had zoomed across the island with no stops. So, everyone else was eating lunch and drinking beverages. We had no lunch and we were hungry! (We boarded right at noon.) And, of course, the chips vending machine inside the ferry was broken. (And it didn't help that there was no places to stop by for food right after you get off the ferry. You're gonna drive at least 10 miles before you even see food.) The 2 1/2 hour ride was really a travel killer. It was too long that we planned a different way back home. No way in hell were we gonna go back for another ride. This ferry ride is gonna cost you $15.00. That is, if you're driving a regular car. The ferry itself is nice, clean and air-conditioned. Once you get on, I suggest you rush inside to stake your claim on seating. If you're not in the mood for a/c, you can go up on top and enjoy the sun. Suggestion: bring food and something to read.

We saw bald eagles, osprey, cormorants, among others. I liked learning about the dam and how that operates. It was relaxing on the water and nice to get away from things for a little while.

The runway is legit, and transient parking is plentiful. Inside, the new terminal building is modern, bright, and welcoming. A complete night-and-day change from the old setup. After grabbing some fuel, I went inside to very nice restrooms and loaded up on a water from the vending machine. Refueling is straightforward. The airport operations guy was friendly and marshaled me in with a nice lineup to the pump for self-service. He also set up the fuel and ladder. It's worth adding to your radar for fuel and the nice facilities alone. 5/5, will come back.

They were out of fried shrimp by the time I got there and my fiance was out his dinner. My clambake also didn't have shrimp. The girl serving me gave me extra clams (extra = 2, whoopie!) to make up for it. The clambake itself was good and some friends got the smoked fish, which was also very tasty, this accounts for the second star. The only downside about the food was that the portions were all over the place. My clambake lunchbox could have fed two people, the smoked fished was too small for an adult. We went out for more food after the festival because it wasn't filling enough for our friends who had ordered it. I'm all for festivals highlighting local food, but this was poorly organized and it's the second year they've put it on. We probably won't be back.

The woman asked if it was our first time there and we said yes. We proceeded to buy firewood only to get to our site and find out there is no fire ring. Apparently you have to rent one. The woman made no mention of that to us. Sites in the back of the park were nicely shaded but there appears to be quite a few seasonal campers there and they definitely do not keep up on tidiness in their site. The dog park was loaded with dog mess that other owners never bothered to pick up even though there were scoopers and bags at the spot. We spoke to someone who has stayed there before and said the place has gone downhill since new owners took over. Very disappointed as we were hoping this would become a regular spot for us.
