OBX RV exists because the existing Outer Banks RV content was inaccurate, outdated, or written by people who’d never driven NC-12 in a 40-foot rig. This page documents the standards every article on this site is held to. If you find a place where we’ve fallen short, tell us — corrections are public and credited.
Who writes here
Bret Doman is the founder, editor, and primary author. He has personally driven, parked, and stayed at the campgrounds reviewed on this site. When an article references a campground he hasn’t visited in the current season, that is disclosed at the top of the piece. Read more on the About page.
How facts get verified
Every campground spec (RV length limit, amperage, hookups, fees, opening dates) is cross-checked against the operator’s own published information at time of writing. Where the operator’s site is ambiguous, we call. Where official sources disagree (this happens often with NPS seasonal opening dates), we cite both and flag the discrepancy in the article.
National Park Service alerts, beach access changes, and road closures shown in our Live Conditions widget are pulled live from the official NPS data API and NCDOT feeds. We do not edit, summarize, or rephrase those alerts — you see the raw official text with a direct link back to the source.
Corrections policy
If we get something wrong, we fix it visibly. Substantive corrections (a wrong amperage, an outdated fee, a misstated road status) get an inline editor’s note at the top of the article with the date of the fix and what changed. Typos and broken links are fixed silently. To flag a correction, use the contact form and choose “Correction” from the subject menu.
What we don’t do
- We do not publish “Top 10” lists ranked by who paid the most. Our ranked guides explicitly state the ranking criteria.
- We do not republish press releases as articles.
- We do not use AI-generated photography. Every photo on this site is either taken by us, sourced from Wikimedia Commons with attribution, or contributed by a named reader.
- We do not write tourism-board copy. If a campground has a real flaw, we describe it.
Affiliate and advertising disclosure
Some external links on this site (campground reservation links, gear recommendations) may be affiliate links. When you book or buy through one, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate status does not influence which campgrounds we recommend, what we say about them, or where they rank in our guides. See our full advertising disclosure for details.
Sources we trust
Primary sources for facts in our articles, in order of preference: (1) the campground or agency’s own published information; (2) the National Park Service developer-data API for alerts and conditions on Cape Hatteras National Seashore; (3) NCDOT for road and ferry status; (4) National Weather Service for marine and beach hazard forecasts; (5) firsthand reporting from the author or named reader contributors.
