Taking a short trip (5 days) to the Outer Banks in NC in mid October. Any nice campgrounds there that you've stayed at and liked enough to go back to? Thanks!
Best Regards!

We haven't camped there, but we've been to the Outer Banks many times. We've always heard that Ocean Waves Campgound is very nice and also very reasonable. They actually have trees - which are a rarity on the OBX. When we purchase our 1st fiver (spring next year) we will be planning a trip to the OBX and will most likely stay at Ocean Waves.
When you are there - make sure you take a trip down to Ocracoke, one of our favorite places. You have to take the ferry there from Hatteras, but it's a sleepy little village at the southern end of the island - with some great restaurants (the Backdoor) and some interesting shops. The majority of the island is national seashore -13 miles of unspoiled beaches. We spent a whole day on the beach fishing and reading and never saw another person. There is a national park service campground on Ocracoke - but no hookups. There are a few other campgrounds on there to mention, but we've driven by and they look just ok.
It's a wonderful place especially in the fall - just keep an eye out for hurricanes.
