North Carolina - Cape Hatteras KOA

Campground: Cape Hatteras KOA

Location: Rodanthe, North Carolina

Overall Rating: A-

Setting Rating: A
(Outer Banks beaches; crowds are not as bad as they are further north; Cape Hatteras lighthouse nearby; broad clean endless beaches; few trees and shrubs with most being low shrubs)

Site Rating: B+
(The sites are close together; Gravel pads surrounded by beach grass and sand; Full-service to primitive; A good number of pull-thrus; Full sun, no significant shade; about half of the sites have a little shelter over the site’s table; no fires allowed at sites; 50 amp sites; cable TV available for a fee)

Washroom Rating: B+

Conclusion: This is a popular area and a campground that should be reserved between June and Labor Day. The camp store is well stocked. This area is a great area for a beach vacation. The fees are high. Though there is a better campground in the area, this is still a solid campground for an extended stay.
