We stayed at Oregon Inlet NPS campground this past June. It was at the beach. There are dunes between you and the water though. No hookups. The mosquitos are bad during the summer. You will need to stay in the wind or have a breeze blowing on you when outside. Go around a corner out of the breeze and you will be attacked. The wind can get pretty heavy too. We thought our 14000 lb Class C was going to tip over. Can't run the generator and AC at night, so we had to open the windows and run the fans. We were supposed to stay a week, but left after about 4 nights because of the wind. We didn't care for the hatteras area personally. But if you are looking for FHU, that's about the best place , but yes, you are gonna pay for it.
