I will hit two of the posters questions. Gas/diesel stations not a problem. Two of them within a mile or so of the cg. There is a Food Lion in Avon about 15 miles south on NC 12. There is a Dairy Queen within walking distance of the cg but about 2 miles south of the cg there is a shop called Island Connery which has hand dipped ice cream that we like much better than the DQ. You can grill, generally the skitters do not pick up until August but they generally have a pickup that comes thru and sprays for them. Wind is generally always a light breeze but in the event of thunderstorms or Northeaster's it can be a little tight. I have been in there with a 31 foot tag behind, 30 foot fiver and now a motor home and I have never had a problem. As someone stated you may need to ask your neighbors to move their vehicle and that has never been a problem either.
And lastly, I have been to the Outer Banks every way there is. The quickest and best way to get there is to take US 64 all the way to Hwy 12 at Whalebone junction. The ferries are ok but it will take much longer to arrive. You can come in from the North on 168 or 158 but that is generally the heaviest traffic you will encounter. You also come in on the north end of the Outer Banks and have to travel the bypass all the way to get to NC 12 at Whalebone junction.
Safe travels
