Reservations and payments for campsites at Ocracoke, Oregon Inlet, Cape Point and Frisco campgrounds can only be made online at www.recreation.gov or by calling a Recreation.gov representative at 877-444-6777. Making site-specific camping reservations prior to arrival is strongly encouraged.
“We are extending the camping season at the Ocracoke Campground through the winter to provide more opportunities for camping at the Seashore,” stated David Hallac, Superintendent, National Parks of Eastern North Carolina. “We will evaluate its use this winter and determine if year-round camping on Ocracoke will be continued in the future. Last year, we decided to keep the Oregon Inlet Campground open all winter and it was well-used. Extended camping seasons align with our plans to modernize campgrounds and broaden the opportunities for the public to have high-quality camping experiences.”
