Outer Banks in Winter?
We are looking for a winter getaway place not too far from northern VA. Looking at the Hatteras KOA. Anyone have experience camping in this area in February?

I've visited the Outer Banks in January, and lived two winters at Myrtle Beach (as well as two winters in central Florida, along with ten years of winter visits to west central Florida).
Just what are you looking for? Outer Banks will mostly be a little bit above freezing, and quite windy most of the time. This would suck for actual camping (I've been too cold to sleep in a tent in February as far south as central Florida) but would probably be OK in a RV, which is more like a house on wheels if you have utilities and an adequate supply of heating and cooking fuel. You might find the Outer Banks nice for outdoor activities, or you might be huddling in the warmth of your RV for the whole visit.
