About North Beach Campground

North Beach Campground in Rodanthe is one of the smallest and most intimate private parks on the Outer Banks — a shaded, low-key campground that attracts repeat visitors who appreciate its laid-back atmosphere, relatively affordable rates, and quick access to the beach and the northern Hatteras Island experience. For a larger resort experience in the same area, see Cape Hatteras KOA Resort or Ocean Waves Campground.

Site Types and Amenities

North Beach Campground offers full-hookup RV sites with 30/50-amp electric, water, and sewer, as well as tent camping sites. The park is notable for its tree cover — genuinely shaded sites are rare on the Outer Banks, and North Beach provides relief from the intense barrier island sun. Amenities are practical rather than resort-style: clean shower facilities, laundry, a camp store with basics, and friendly management. The park is compact, making it better suited to rigs up to 35–38 feet; very large Class A coaches may find it tight. Reservations are accepted and recommended for peak season dates.

Location and What’s Nearby

Rodanthe is a charming small community at the northern gateway to Hatteras Island. The Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station Historic Site is a short walk from the campground.
