Oregon Inlet Campground
Hosted by National Park Service
New listing
Oregon Inlet Campground is the northernmost campground on Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Camping here puts you within a short distance of the full service town of Nags Head to the north, and the world class fishing at Oregon Inlet to the south. The campground is located on the east side of the barrier island, just a short walk through the dunes to the expansive waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Sea oats and other native flowering plants blanket the dunes, providing a picturesque backdrop for your camping experience. The beach adjacent to the campground can be reached by foot from your campsite as well as by vehicle with a Cape Hatteras Off-Road Vehicle Permit. Popular activities include fishing, swimming, surfing, birding and shell hunting. The calmer waters of the sound to the west can be accessed at the public boat launch at Oregon Inlet Fishing Center, with crabbing, clamming, paddle-boarding, boating and fishing on that side. Each of the three loops in the campground has a bath house with flush toilets, potable water and outdoor unheated cold showers. Each campsite has a paved parking pad, picnic table and charcoal grill, and there are limited sites with RV hook-ups. A dump and water fill station are located directly across Highway 12 at Oregon Inlet Fishing Center and are free of charge for campers. The historic Bodie Island Lighthouse is approximately four miles north on NC Highway 12 and is open seasonally for self-guided climbs; climb tickets are available on a first come, first served basis and may only be purchased on the same day of your intended climb, going on sale at 7am for that day's climbs only. Coquina Beach Day Use Area sits directly across Highway 12 from the lighthouse access road and provides a vehicle-free beach perfect for families, with lifeguards on duty from Memorial Day to Labor Day, a bathhouse with outdoor cold showers, flush toilet restrooms, water fountains and a boardwalk to the beach.
