North Carolina ocean front campgrounds

Camp Hatteras and Cape Hatteras KOA are right on the ocean. They are right next door to each other. At either one you need to step over a low dune, so technically you are not "Ocean Front", but you won't find any one better.

I prefer Camp Hatteras for no particular reason. I guess when we first started going to OBX, the KOA was a little shabby. But after a hurricane blew it away, they have all new structures and pool

As you can see from the overhead view the campground extends from one body of water to the other. Again, for no particular reason, I prefer the sites on the row closest to the Ocean. There is a little restaurant/bar just north about a half mile. They have rear deck where people sit out there just to watch the sunsets.

Ocean Waves

Definitely check out the HTP Resort at Emerald Isle, we stay there quite often and is our favorite beach rv resort. Reliable 50amp service, exceptionally clean park.

We stayed at the Hatteras KOA in Rodanthe. Right on the beach, typical KOA, although I though the sites were a little close together. Other than that, a beautiful spot.

Free WiFi sux and the nearby cell tower drove all my backup wifi gear offline. If you need internet access, you'll need to go to the cafe.

We rented a car there (no toad) and the closest place was in Kitty Hawk about 45 mins away. You know that tag line in the Enterprise commercials? It's a lie.

We stayed in Camp Hatteras CG in Waverly a few years ago and it was great. They have two choices, Oceanside or bay. It was tough as the sunsets were awesome, but alas the sound of the ocean was better. My only peeve was at $80 dollars a night they wanted $3 more for cable. I said you should just up the price and include it. Seemed cheap. Anyway after I declined cable,some guy came over in a golf cart and watched me set up my sat dish. Guess he thought i was gonna take him for cable. Other than that stupidity the place was one of the best cgs's I have ever stayed at.

Holiday Travel Park on Emerald Isle, NC if you want something closer to the mainland than the Outer Banks. Pricey. Below Cape Lookout. Lots of family activities, restaurants, etc nearby.

Ocean Waves to the north out on the banks is a good value, a bit quieter.

Red Dots are cammgrounds. Just Google "campgrounds North Carolina" and click on maps...

but mytle beach is in south Carolina if you want to go more south

outerbanks of nc is about the only on the beach campgrounds in nc try camp hatters or try myrtly beach area a lot there
