Have made four trips to the Outer Banks, three at Camp Hatteras, 1 at the KOA. At the time we liked Camp Hatteras better but both have been rebuilt due to hurricane damage. What we loved about both was being right on the beach. However, the last time we went a series of storms had changed the shape of the ocean floor and swimming/boogie boarding were no longer that much fun due it being rougher. That may have changed as it's been a number of years since we've been there. Depending on when in the spring you go, it may still be too chilly for either. We love Pea Island Wildlife Refuge which is near there for walking and kayaking. You can drive back to Kitty Hawk to the Wright Brother's Museum, Jockey Ridge State Park, stores, restaurants, and other things to do. There had been a number of small amusement parks in the area as well. Other than weather-related stuff which you can't avoid all four trips there were quite nice.
