Ocean Waves reservation confirmed. Couple of ?'s

Due to the narrow road and the tight quarters, it can be a bit of a challenge getting a long rig into some of these spots. It took us a couple tries with our long bed Diesel dually and 39' toyhauler. You'll most likely have to have some folks move their trucks if they're parked across from your spot.

Folks usually gather 'round when a long rig pulls in, just to watch the show and critique the performance. :)

We came in from the north, no ferries.

Sites are perpendicular (straight vs angled) to road and right across from each other.
Might need to have vehicles moved if parked in site across from yours when backing in






Came in north end via 158 and left out south end via ferry to Ocrakoke Island (free) and then ferry over to Cedar Island ($45)
Made reservations ----piece of cake and enjoyable

Checked out the ferry info to get to Ocean Waves and it all sounded quite crowded and cumbersome with the possibility of delays. My question is:
How do you plan to arrive at Ocean Waves? From the north? Taking Ferries?
Thanks

From the north. No ferries.

If using the ferries you might need to check to see if you need a reservation.?. I am not sure.

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.
