Reservations were easy but required a phone call during business hours. Everything was ready when I arrived. The sites are all back-in level gravel. There is a reasonable distance between sites. Not much cover but there is little cover in the entire Outer Banks. The site is near a canal with access to the bay by kayak. The bathrooms are clean and nice but do require a combination to get in. Amenities are few but there are tons of things for kids of all ages within a few miles. Every site had a picnic table and fire ring. No WiFi but AT&T had 2 bars 5G. Antenna reception gets a few channels but the only network is PBS. There is a good channel describing the area for tourists however. The location is excellent for a visit to Kitty Hawk, the Wright Memorial and all the touristy things in Nags Head. It is less than an hour to Cape Hatteras. It is a short drive to Roanoke Island and the Lost Colony. There is a surprising number of shopping options and restaurants.

Nice park with well spaced sites. Gravel pad and sand/dirt with some grass and ant hills. Grass cutting is a little crudely kept.

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.

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....)

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.

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.
