Campground Review
What, no hot tub?! Seriously, the pool is awesome, bathrooms clean and plenty of hot water for your shower. What surprised me was the space; lots of space for our 34′ 5’r and separate parking for the Ford. In this desirable, go-to area one usually finds a crowd. With high demand comes high prices and tight spaces. This park was neither of those. OK, the price was a little high, but nothing out of the ordinary. I’m just a cheapskate who preys on state parks and Boondocker’s Welcome, or any kind of boondocking that will fit our needs at the time. I was surprised to learn that this park had a lot of what I refer to as “permanentos”; those who live at the park year round. One wouldn’t know this at first glance. the park is so clean, tidy, orderly and kempt. For us traveling through, the spaces, views and amenities are top notch. They set aside the best view spaces for us! Location location location: you’ll be twenty minutes from Kitty Hawk and the Wright Brothers museum – a must do if you haven’t done so yet. And if your old like me, you get in for free. You youngsters will have to pay $10 per person. Oh, and visit the Lost Colony (look it up), hit the beaches, as they are marvelous and don’t forget to have a meal out. You won’t find better sea food anywhere. FWIW, nobody has died here from eating local oysters since 1912 – ahem.
