Eric we rented a cabin for a home base, it was really nice since it rained all night and all day every day except the last day we were there. Our intention was to spend a couple of days at South point. Camping is allowed above high tide but not in the dunes where it is restricted. I can't help you with a camping spot as except at low tide you could not access the beach safely. I would think normally a camp site would be pretty easy to find. This year will be a different ball game as there is proposed to be an orv permit required to drive the island. Just like in hatteras.
