If you are not familiar with the Outer Banks of North Carolina, it is a string of barrier islands jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean. Most of the southern portion is Cape Hatteras National Seashore and a few small towns. There are 4 campgrounds in the national seashore as well as other campgrounds in the towns. Campground fees in the national seashore are $20/night in Cape Point campground and $28/night in the other 3. With an America the Beautiful pass it is half price.
You can drive directly to the first 3 campgrounds but to get to the 4th requires both driving (or biking) and a free ferry ride.
Up until Covid, it was easy to get a campsite. I don't know if the campgrounds will be more crowded this year or not. The big rigs tend to stay away as only 1 of the campgrounds offers hook-ups. They all have cold showers and bathrooms. I think one of the campgrounds may have added hot showers.
If I can get my house sold, I hope to spend the summer and part of the fall there. If any of you are thinking of going this summer, add to the thread and maybe we can organize a meetup.
