    I made my reservation about two weeks ahead of time, finding a good number of spots available. It's…read moreworth noting that none of the spaces actually face the ocean or the inlet - there are trees between the campground and the highway on one side and there are 15 foot tall dunes on the other. So really, just pick any space that isn't next to the dumpster. Some folks had their cars parked and were in tents so that may be an option for you. I arrived before dark and had no problem finding my designated space that had a marker indicating my name and my dates of check in and out. After parking, I heated up dinner at my designated picnic table, enjoyed a discreet beer and then climbed the dune (on a designated path!) to watch the ocean waves for a bit. It's beautiful and there was so much room that I had a half mile of sandy beach to myself. Absolutely stunning. There are no lifeguards so be careful if you decide to swim. I did not. A quick shower in the shower cabin (cold water only!) and I locked up for the night. It was quiet and peaceful. In the morning, I was up just before Sunrise and on my way north for the ferry terminal to Hatteras. The campground has a dump station that is free if you're staying here. Other than the showers and some bathrooms, there isn't much else here. [Review 782 of 2025 - 4214 in North Carolina - 24342 overall]

    My husband and I stayed at this National Park Service campground in mid-March, 2025…read more Pros. *a beautiful and peaceful location, with easy beach access just over the sand dunes. *sites were sufficiently spread out, especially in March when there are fewer campers. *easy access to main road or the dedicated bike trail along road that takes you into town of Ocracoke. *reasonable price. $28, less 50% for holders of NPS Senior Pass, so $14. *clean and heated restroom. Cons. *All sites are standard, non-electric. *showers would open only on April 1st. *watch out for sand spurs. At a minimum, they're irritating but they can also hurt! We would stay here again if in the area.

They also have a spot where you can pick up and drop off your keys to the cabins if you are coming amd going before or after their open hours. We stayed in one of the one bedroom cabins. It came with two beds with a mat on top but they do tell you to bring your own linens,which we did. The cabins only have ac not heat, which is one of the only few things I think they should upgrade to have a unit that does both as we stayed during Halloween weekend and the digits where in the 40's at night. Just enough to take the chill out of the air inside. But we brought plenty of blankets so we were pretty cozy but definitely didnt want to leave the warmth in the morning lol. I also think the grills need to be updated to something you can close not the tiny open faced ones they have. Even after scrubbing it down, our food tasted funny after cooking on it due to all the grime that had built up from being uncovered in all sorts of weather. Easy walk to the water and have a tavern and deli within walking distance close by as well with good food. Was a great place to sit outside and read a book and just relax, no blaring horns or city noise.

This could be a nice place if it was taken care of properly. Waited too long to make my reservations & this was the only place available for 3 weeks in the middle of the busy summer season. That should have told me somthing right there. After talking to several other campground owners at places we've stayed before, they agreed with me. Management needs to be replaced. If this place had a good management, it could be brought into the new millenium. We survived our stay, but would never ever go back there again.

    I've stayed here multiple times, for several years. After staying at a handful of campgrounds in…read morethe area this is the best around. Really, this is the best I've found anywhere on the OBX. Friendly staff are always on hand generally until 7 or 8 pm. They have gated access and cable tv. Full bathhouses are provided and are kept clean. The campground is less than 5 minutes from Cape Hatteras Lighthouse (by car) - it may be just a bit too far for most to walk. It's located on Buxton Back Road, so it's just off Hwy 12 but not ON Hwy 12. It's also within 5 minutes of the grocery. It's about 30 minutes from the Hatteras-Ocracoke ferry. They have 3 one bedroom cabins, 3 two bedroom cabins, and tent or RV camping. Lastly, the pond that surrounds the campground has hundreds of freshwater turtles that are people friendly and love being fed. I highly recommend this campground.

    This is a totally mixed review!! First of the weather was horrible but that is not the Cape Point…read moreCampgrounds fault. The reason it is mixed is because from the first hello I was totally misinformed about this campground. I booked it online due to the reviews and details of the campground. I called the park rangers and I was advised at the 800 number that I had to be there by 1pm to check in..when I got there at 1pm..no one was there to check me in. Found out that there is NEVER anyone here to check you in. It is literally a deck with three walls and roof with a book and box to write information in and drop in the money if you are paying day off. Then I found out that you have to pick your site and then go back to the office deck book and box, so it is not assigned like I was informed. Also I was told this was basically on the beach only divided by a few dunes...NOPE not true..had to drive to the beach parking area. Also was told it was near Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, which it is in the same park but again unless you want to melt walking the over a mile one way hike in the sand, you better drive there too.. It pored the rain and the whole entire campground flooded so I ended up paying $60 for one night instead of the 3 nights I was scheduled to be there so I lost money. it was definitely an experience and I guess that was what I was truly after and I got that for sure...will I go back...nah!!! But again that is just not the campground but the entire Island is just not liking me...
