About OBX Campground

Full hookups, RV sites, and tent camping are all available, making it a flexible option for mixed camping groups. See the OBX Seasonal Strategy guide to plan the best time to visit.
Site Types and Amenities
OBX Campground offers full-hookup RV sites with electric, water, and sewer, along with tent sites for smaller setups.
