About
Ocracoke Campground with 136 sites is located east of the village of Ocracoke, North Carolina on the island of Ocracoke. The campground offers grills, flush toilets, drinking water, cold showers, and is pet-friendly. The soil is sandy, so tent-campers will need extra-long tent stakes. RVs under 40 feet are welcome at this campground. There's no electricity, but there is a nearby dump station. There is no shade at the campground. Mosquitoes are common, and insect spray is recommended. Open year round.

There are two accessible-designated campsites. They are located on flat, grassy terrain with a grill and picnic table. Neither has a designated tent site. Paved loop roads and wooden boardwalks to the two comfort stations nearest the entrance provide firm paths of travel around the campground. A single accessible-marked shower is located near the comfort station on Loop B. It contains a bench but no grab bars. The shower head is handheld and is mounted at a height of 60 inches. The lever to activate it is slightly higher at 67 inches.
