Cape Hatteras Oregon Inlet Campground

[jayco304]

Planning to save money and try Cape Hatteras National Seashore Oregon Inlet Campground this weekend. Does anyone know how many of the campsites are large enough for 32ft TT? Also, on a holiday weekend do you expect them to fill? If they do fill I can go on down to Hatteras to Cape Point or Frisco and still save tons of money compare to the other resort nightly price. We were at Hatteras KOA a few weeks ago and the fishing was getting good. Hope to fish and maybe go crabbing but it may be a little early for the good size crabs.

I don't know about the campsite sizes or availability, but I assume you already know that there are no hookups and only cold showers in all the Cape Hatteras National Seashore NPS campgrounds. Of course, that's one of the reasons why they're less expensive.

The NPS web site also indicates that only Cape Point, Ocracoke and Oregon Inlet campgrounds have dump stations nearby.

No hookups not a problem. We can hold our own. We love the Oregon Inlet area for fishing but have never really checked out the campground. We usually stay further south and drive back north the fish that area.

I figured you probably knew about the lack of hookups, but it never hurts to mention it just to be sure. Have fun! I haven't camped in the NPS campgrounds since the 60's. Interestingly, the amenities were the same back then as they are today, but the big difference was that nearly everyone camped in tents. Talk about primitive camping in a hostile environment!
