    There are four National Park Service campgrounds on the Outer Banks. The campgrounds have no hook-ups RV sites. They have bathrooms (flush toilets) and unheated outdoor showers.

    I don't believe any of them have dump stations.

    In Rodanthe, Camp Hatteras and Cape Hatteras KOA campgrounds are open all year. A mile or so south of these two Ocean Waves Campground is also open.

    We stay at the KOA because it is more dog friendly.

    Enjoy you visit
