Meet the Editor — Bret Doman
OBX RV is written and edited by Bret Doman, who lives full-time in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. Bret has driven the length of NC-12 in every season — through nor’easters, hurricane evacuations, peak summer gridlock, and the quiet shoulder months when the Outer Banks belongs to the locals. He has personally stayed at, surveyed, or worked alongside every one of the 12 campgrounds covered on this site, from Kitty Hawk down to Ocracoke.
Bret also runs Beach4x4.com, the Outer Banks’ local 4×4 rental and beach-driving guide. That work puts him in regular contact with NPS rangers at Cape Hatteras National Seashore, NCDOT crews managing NC-12 closures, and the campground operators whose phones ring first when a big storm is forecast. Those relationships are why the information on OBX RV stays current — when an inlet breaches, when ferry hours shift, when a campground loses power, Bret usually hears about it before it makes the news.
If you have a correction, a local tip, or a question about a specific park, the contact page goes straight to Bret — not a marketing inbox.

How OBX RV stays independent
OBX RV is reader-supported through occasional affiliate links and partner mentions, but we don’t accept payment for park rankings or content. If a campground listing has an error, the fastest way to fix it is our contact page. We’re not affiliated with the NPS, the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau, or any individual campground.
Why This Outer Banks RV Guide Exists
The Outer Banks is unlike any other RV destination on the East Coast. A 200-mile chain of barrier islands with one main road, two bridges, and three ferry routes creates logistical realities you won’t find at inland resorts. Information about obx rv about our editorial mission: every guide on this site is written by a working OBX RVer, fact-checked against current NPS, NCDOT, and county sources, and refreshed seasonally. We don’t accept paid placement from campgrounds — rankings reflect actual on-site experience and reader feedback.
How Our Park Listings Are Built
Each campground page includes verified hookup amperage, sewer presence, big-rig accessibility, pet rules, and proximity to beach access. We use the official park websites and the Recreation.gov system as primary sources, then verify with site visits and reader reports. When details change — a new pool, a closed loop, a rate increase — we update within 30 days. If you spot an error, the contact form connects directly to the editor, not a marketing inbox.
Editorial Independence and Reader Support
This site runs on a small affiliate program (mostly camping reservation platforms) and reader donations. No campground or tourism board has editorial input. That independence is the entire point — every obx rv about page, park review, and seasonal guide reflects what we’d tell a friend driving down for the first time. For details on our methodology and corrections policy, see the FAQ and contact pages linked in the footer.
