We really liked it here. The rooms in the main house could use some love. Moldy bathroom edges and ceilings. The camping areas were very nice and spacious.

The location is wonderful for this campground however the safety and cleanliness were a major disappointment. We stayed in a deluxe cabin and were shocked at how absolutely filthy the floors were, I don’t think they had ever been washed with how black our feet were. We washed them with towels because we have a baby whose crawling and it was absolutely disgusting how much filth came off. Also the heater in the main area had exposed wires and metal hanging off of it. The worst however was the extreme amount of cockroaches that were inside and outside our cabin, an extremely unexpected guest. The damprid that they had on top of the cabinets to help with moisture was overflowing and filled with mold as well. The playground was a cool feature however my two year old was definitely not safe playing on it as it has loose boards, nails sticking out and one of the gates near the main road had been taken off. To say we were disappointed was an understatement. We’ve stayed in many campgrounds and hotels and never have we experienced such lack of cleanliness especially somewhere geared towards families.

We stayed in a "deluxe" cabin with our granddaughters. Our youngest discovered an open junction box on the electric baseboard, the floors were dirty, the bathroom fan was inoperative and there were cockroaches everywhere. I was not impressed by management's concerns over my complaints. I wouldn't recommend staying in the cabins.

Could be great, but very poorly maintained. We've stayed at many KOA's, and this was the dirtiest and most run down one we've stayed at. Pros: Great location, beautiful beach with easy access, staff was friendly. Great park across the road on the sound side to watch the sunset at. Cons: very poorly maintained, and generally dirty. For example, not one single laundry machine was working when we were there. The bathroom was covered in sand, and the showers clearly hadn't been cleaned in a long time - very single one leaked, and was in need of repair. Showers by the beach to wash sand off were filthy, and clearly hadn't been touched in a long time. Also, I feel like they nickel and dime you here - we got charged $20 per night for our 3rd kid, and $25 when we needed to check out 30 minutes late so I could be on a zoom meeting for work. In short, it's thoroughly ok. We tried staying here for something new, and when we come back next time, we'll stay next door at Camp Hatteras again - I'd encourage you to do the same.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Hi, can we Kitesurf from your campground ? Thanks

Yves Thauvette | Apr 19, 2022
Kristen Booth | Apr 19, 2022

The Campground is on the Ocean or surf side but if you cross the street to the soundside you can kitesurf there. Allot of people launch from Kitty Hawk Kites Waves Village which is a quarter mile down the road, there's a kiteboarding school there and surely other kiteboarders in the yard launching that can offer assistance. You can start at the kiteboarding school and end at the Koa's sound side directly across the street from the Koa. There's no better place to kitesurf!!

Would they allow me to pitch a tent on my cabin site for additional cost?

Alexandra Moose | Oct 16, 2021
Richard and Erica Sunny | Oct 16, 2021

Not sure there would be enough room. If there is, I'm sure you could put up a small tent with no issues.

Is this a good beachfront camping spot for our first RV trip to OBX?

Joanne Miller | Oct 16, 2020
Joe Balbo | Oct 16, 2020

Absolutely! Just make sure you lock your vehicles at night, as while it is a quiet place, there's always the potential for theives. We enjoyed the hell out of it there. Great beach access, good parking and facility, great staff and well kept grounds. Went surf fishing and relaxing all week- great spot to decompress!! There's also good restaurants and supplies nearby. Great fishing down the road at the seawall on the beach at Cape Hatteras lighthouse park....
