OBX Campground is a 56-site private park on Colington Road in Kill Devil Hills with full-hookup soundfront sites and direct access to Roanoke Sound. It’s one of the better-kept secrets on the Northern OBX — full amenities without the resort-park price tag of the Hatteras Island KOAs.
Quick Facts
- Type: Private, full-hookup
- Location: Colington Road, Kill Devil Hills (soundfront)
- Sites: 56 with full hookups
- Best for: Travelers who want soundfront sunsets, kayakers, and big-rig owners on the Northern OBX
Why Stay at OBX Campground
Soundfront sites on the OBX are surprisingly rare for full-hookup RV parks. OBX Campground gives you sunset views over Roanoke Sound, easy kayak/paddleboard launching, and a much calmer water environment than the Atlantic side. It’s also a better wind option for big slide-outs — sound-side breezes are typically gentler than the open Atlantic exposure at oceanfront resorts.
Sites and Hookups
All 56 sites are full-hookup with water, sewer, and 30/50-amp electric. The soundfront premium sites book first; back row sites are still walkable to the water. The park is generally big-rig friendly; confirm site fit when booking for anything over 38 feet.
