Inlet Campground

How does Oregon Inlet Campground redefine beachside camping with its combination of natural beauty, coastal access, and modern convenience? Situated on the eastern edge of Cape Hatteras National Seashore, this campground offers unparalleled proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, allowing campers to enjoy the soothing sounds of waves and sweeping views of sand dunes.

Oregon Inlet Campground caters to both tent campers and RV users, featuring 107 sites, 47 of which include utility hookups. Its sandy terrain and grassy expanses are complemented by amenities such as paved parking pads, picnic tables, grills, and modern bathhouses with flush toilets and outdoor showers. Though shade is minimal, the flat and open layout provides comfort and functionality. The beach is a short walk over the dunes, creating easy access for swimming, fishing, and beachcombing, while calmer waters nearby invite paddleboarding, crabbing, and kayaking.

Located just 15 minutes south of Nags Head, North Carolina, the campground is surrounded by notable attractions. Bodie Island Lighthouse, four miles to the north, offers seasonal self-guided climbs, and Coquina Beach, a vehicle-free zone ideal for families, is directly across Highway 12. For anglers, the nearby Oregon Inlet Fishing Center provides prime fishing opportunities. The campground’s setting within a national seashore ensures a connection to coastal flora and fauna, making it a compelling choice for those seeking both relaxation and outdoor adventure.
