OBX RV is an independent guide to RV camping on the Outer Banks, covering the traveler-accessible campgrounds from Kitty Hawk down to Ocracoke that publish current booking information on their own official websites or government pages — private, National Park Service and resort — plus the hookups, ferries, bridges, seasons and beach-driving rules that decide how a trip actually goes.
Who writes this site
OBX RV is written and maintained by Bret Doman, a working Outer Banks RVer based in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. Every article on the site carries his byline. There is no content team and no outside contributor network — if you read it here, one person wrote it and one person is answerable for it.
How the facts are checked
Campground details are compiled from primary sources first, then cross-checked:
- For the four National Seashore campgrounds — Oregon Inlet, Cape Point, Frisco and Ocracoke — site counts, hookups, seasons and fees come from the National Park Service campground pages and Recreation.gov.
- For beach driving and ORV permits, the source is the Cape Hatteras National Seashore permit and FAQ pages, plus the individual town ordinances for Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head and the other municipalities, which each set their own season and permit.
- For private parks, the source is the operator’s own website and phone number, checked against reader reports.
Where an operator does not publish something — a site count, a rig-length limit, a nightly rate, an opening season — the page says so and gives you the number to call instead of filling the gap with a guess. That is deliberate. A confident wrong answer about hookups or season costs you a night—s sleep on the side of NC-12.
Disclosure: Beach4x4.com
OBX RV is produced alongside Beach4x4.com, an Outer Banks 4x4 rental and beach-driving business. Where this site links to Beach4x4.com, treat it as a related business rather than an independent recommendation. No campground, tourism board or other outside organisation has editorial input on what appears here, and no park is included or excluded because of a business arrangement — every Outer Banks campground is listed because it exists.
Corrections
Rates change, loops close, hookups get added and seasons shift. If something here is wrong or out of date, the fastest fix is the contact page — it reaches the person who writes the site, not a marketing inbox. Corrections are made as soon as they can be verified against a primary source, and the updated date on each page reflects the last time it was edited.
