Getting in to the sites at Ocean Waves is no problem at all. Also have ressies there for a month with current rig but was there maybe a decade ago with my prior rig - a 40' fifth. I stayed in the northern part of OBX last summer but did drive down to the south end and did drive through Ocean Waves. It'll be a piece of cake for you. Last summer my activities were up around Kill Devil Hills etc so I don't have a to do list for south OBX but I'm sure you won't have any problem staying busy. On the northern side, I did enjoy the fishing ports and I know there are also comm'l fishing boats by the Oregon Inlet. It's a tourist area with zero shortage of grocery stores, fuel, seafood and restaurants and ICE CREAM. Kind of a PITA process to get ressies there at this time of the year.
Garmp1 - I will be arriving from the south and intend to take the ferries. But I will be there in May so I'm thinking it's a bit before real tourist season busyness. Ferries run fairly frequently but I probably will arrive a day early and if I get on the island a day early, I'll just use my old fart pass and stay at the big NP campgrounds for a night.
