Cape Hatteras National Seashore - Frisco — Hotel in Hatteras Island

An awesome campground for those who enjoy privacy, simplicity, and roughing it a little. I can say if you prefer big chain campsites with cushy facilities, I don’t recommend this place. But it’s awesome, a little bit of a walk from the beach but easily walkable from every campsite. We had a great time, but after a walk around the campground I think your experience could depend on your campsite. While some of them are flat, large, and mostly sandy, others are uneven and short, and a small site with less privacy. Personally I recommend booking on the upper loop on the hill (P sites) if you more value privacy and views of the dunes (again, hit or miss), the bottom loop if you’d rather be closer to the beach and don’t mind neighbors, and the connecting streets not at all. They’re steep roads, short sites, closely packed in, and tend to be uneven. We booked P61 and it checked pretty much all the boxes. Staff at the front gate were friendly but nothing special. I found the restrooms & showers very helpfully located on connecting streets. Clean, but again nothing special. Beach access is probably a five minute walk across some water and then over the dunes. When you arrive, you’ll find a very pretty beach, but keep in mind it is drivable and therefore there’s almost always trucks parked on it. The beach is awesome, especially if you enjoy shell-collecting and body surfing. There are no hookups at the campsite ! I’m sure it says somewhere but if you’re one to skim the details, you might miss this. There is water centrally located, but the dump station is off property. There are also no fires aloud in the campground, but on the beach they’re allowed. Campsite has a nice grill and picnic bench, although some campsites have them in a bad location relative to the paved parking pad. Overall, I would say I would come back here and recommend it to anyone traveling to the Hatteras/Frisco area. It’s a good...

We have been coming here for five years now. My family and I are from the country side in Ohio and have a farm. We love nature and the natural setting of the campgrounds is awesome. If you are looking for "urban style" camping with clean flat sites and no natural setting I would recommend going elsewhere. If you want to feel like you are enjoying a park without disturbing what was here thousands of years before you then I suggest this campground.

You can access the beach by foot or by a four wheel drive vehicle. There are plenty of areas where the beach is closed for traffic if that is what you prefer. We like being able to take the truck onto the beach. It is rarely crowded and we head out in the morning and park. We spend the day on the beach fishing and swimming and since we have the truck we have all our food with us to cook on the beach. We see plenty of people walk to the beach and we have done this before as well.

We have seen a turtle nest excavation each year we have come here. Pretty cool to see.

Pets are welcome and campgrounds are quiet. Can let the kids ride their bikes without worrying about them getting hurt or lost.

Did mention the view? Each site is unique and there is something...

The Campgrounds, park rangers, site, all were excellent.. But, the reason we went there as I'm sure most people go to the beach for is the BEACH. My wife and I carried our beach chairs, umbrella, and small cooler to the beach only to find we were the ONLY ones who did this!! We wrongly thought the beach would be quite, safe and relaxing. We were wrong. The entire FRISCO NATIONAL PARK has huge 4 wheel trucks with loud music, confederate flags driving over the ENTIRE beach!! There was NO safe OR quite place to enjoy the beach and we where there during the WEEK, not weekend!! How can this be at a National PARK ???? A beach is waves, seagulls, and the smell of salt spray, not, boom boxes, diesel fumes and huge trucks speeding by within 15-20 feet constantly all day long. The experience was totally lost of how I remembered beaches USED to be like. Now they're tailgate parties and loud music you can't excape. Think of a busy WalMart parking lot and you won't be far off. Another ruined...
