About Frisco Woods Campground

Frisco Woods Campground is the only private campground on the soundside of Hatteras Island, offering a camping experience unlike anything else on the Outer Banks. Positioned on Pamlico Sound near the village of Frisco, the campground trades direct ocean access for spectacular sunset views, calm soundside water, and a peaceful, nature-immersive atmosphere. Kayak and paddleboard rentals are available on-site. Full hookups, a camp store, and clean facilities round out the experience. Campers who prefer oceanside access can pair a stay here with a night at the nearby Frisco NPS Campground or Cape Point Campground.

Site Types and Amenities

Frisco Woods offers full-hookup RV sites with 30/50-amp electric, water, and sewer. The soundfront setting gives the campground a uniquely open feel — views across the Pamlico Sound stretch for miles with unobstructed western exposure for sunset watching. On-site amenities include kayak and paddleboard rentals, shower facilities, laundry, and a camp store. The campground is also a short drive from the village of Frisco and the town of Buxton, providing easy access to restaurants, grocery stores, and the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. The NPS Frisco Campground is just over the dune ridge to the east on the ocean side.

Soundside Activities

The Pamlico Sound at Frisco Woods is shallow (typically 3–8 feet), warm, and remarkably calm compared to the Atlantic side — ideal for beginner kayakers, stand-up paddleboarders, and families with young children who want water access without surf. The sound is also excellent for fishing — speckled trout, red drum, and flounder populate the grass flats accessible by kayak or small motorboat. Birdwatching from the soundside is exceptional, particularly during fall migration. The campground’s position between ocean and sound means guests can drive to the NPS ocean beach for surfing and surf fishing in the morning and return for a calm sunset paddle in the evening.
