X2 on the National Seashore campground on Ocracoke Island. The campsites are just over the dune from the beach. No hookups, but they have water at several locations in the campground and a dump station. We spent two nights there last week. The ferry from Hatteras to Ocracoke is free. If you want to see the sunset over Pamlico Sound as well as the sunrise over the ocean, drive through the little town of Ocracoke and park in the big lot at the end of the road.
There is another National Seashore campground further north where you can see the sun rise over the ocean. Oregon Inlet campground is a few miles south of Nags Head and a short walk over the dune takes you to the beach. Possible to watch the sunset over the Sound from the marina across the road from the campground.
