We stayed from 10/25/25 to 11/01/25, the weather was not on our side. However the hospitality of campground staff was amazing. Cody, one of the maintenance workers made us feel welcomed and safe multiple times throughout our stay. Hot tub was amazing, accessibility to beach was quick and convenient.

Great place to stay! We stayed in a small cabin with just the bed, and it was the perfect size for our short 2 day stay, with storage under the bed and great AC/heating. The hot tub was amazing for the chilly nights, I was glad they kept it open until 10:00pm. The community bathrooms were nice, a little dirty, but, again, we were only there for 2 days so they likely cleaned after we had already left. The staff was very friendly, gave us a quick rundown on everything, had free WiFi, a playground, a bounce pillow, and a short walk to the beach or to a nice diner across the street that served breakfast, lunch and dinner (we only had breakfast there, but it was really good!) It’s also in a great location in Rodanthe, so you could drive down to Avon or up to Nags Head without it being too far of a drive, about 20-30 minutes. Definitely recommend!

We had trouble deciding between the Cape Hatteras RV Park and the KOA, and wanted to share our experience from an early October stay. While the location is undeniably beautiful, we were disappointed overall. We understand it’s a harsh coastal climate, but many of the buildings, outdoor lamps, and fences had chipping paint and visible rust, giving the property a neglected feel. Our back-in site stayed muddy the entire time, especially right at the camper entrance. The Wi-Fi didn’t work at all in the section near the beach, even though that’s where many of the premium sites are. Additionally, while we appreciate that staff housing is necessary, the worker areas next to guest sites could be better maintained and kept tidier. The hot tub area was also frustrating — there’s a loud ringing noise that staff seemed aware of but haven’t addressed. The beach path felt unsafe, with a noticeable drop-off where it meets the sand. The pool was also not heated; when we called before booking, we weren’t given a clear answer about the temperature, which was disappointing. On a positive note, the glow train was one of the most fun activities we’ve seen at any KOA, and the rosé wine tasting to raise funds for breast cancer was a thoughtful and meaningful touch. This KOA has so much potential, but the lack of maintenance and attention to guest experience really stood out. While the location is great, the overall experience didn’t quite justify the premium price.

I would have always given this campground 5 stars. But not this time. Trust me, I'm an easygoing camper, so if something bothers me, it would probably bother anyone else even more. First, I arrived a little early. I really appreciated that they agreed to let me in this early. However, once I was shown to my site, I pointed out to the employee that the neighbor was practically sitting in my shade shelter, it was obvious. The employee didn't seem happy with my dissatisfaction, he told me that it would be too complicated to ask the neighbor to place his trailer correctly, he would have to move me to another site. So he contacted the lady at the front desk and asked if I could move to another site. I was finally told that the only equivalent site available was 355, which was full of water from the rain, was half the size, and directly on the edge of the street where everyone passed. So I didn't really have a choice but to keep this site and endure the neighbor's encroachment on my environment. I've traveled a lot and experienced several campsites. Normally, in a resort of this price, this lack of courtesy towards the neighbor would not have been tolerated. If I had been lucky, they could have moved me to an equivalent site, but the next guest who would have faced this situation would not have been any happier. So I paid an extra price for a shade shelter that I will not have the pleasure of using, that's what disappoints me. I don't know if the KOA administration cares about the comments provided by their best customers, but I hope that it will be taken into account constructively to ensure a better customer experience.

AWESOME!! Cabins and Suites are very nice. Clean. Comfortable beds, and great showers. We had the ocean front cabin, and we rented the suite for our friends for 2 days. Both locations excellent. Breakfast there was really good..everyone had something different, and it all was great..nice people too. Views were awesome. We were there during the hurricanes, but even thought he surf was rough, the view was great...loved watching the water.. Thanks everyone at this KOA..we had a blast.. P.S..we had fun neighbors..got to know some really cool people....THANKS J&J..

Bathrooms are not the cleanest. In the laundry, only 2 machines out of 6 we're working, not fixed in the five days of our visit. Grounds are a little unkempt, some long term sites don't look so good. Employees are very nice. Would be nice if pool was heated, pool is very large. Sites are close together and with over 700, I don't think I would want to stay here at capacity. The location is on the beach and all sites are a short walk.

Perfect location, except our RV spot was between the jumping pillow and the pirate ship...no need to explain I am sure. Would have given it a 5 star if we were close to the beach. If you have kids perfect RV park.

Beautiful views, friendly staff, clean rooms. The sound side had shallow sandbars, gentle waves, and lots of shells for kids to find. The ocean side is beautiful beach for miles and waves for days. On-site playground, pool, sand volleyball, and basketball. Really great place for the fam.

Love the location, its beautiful property. Location is well maintained nice and clean bathrooms, showers, and pool. People are so welcoming and helpful. Been going to this location for several years. I would have given it a 5 star, but I am not a fan of the Tent and RV combo or parking next to each other. RV take up so much space into the Tent sites and cannot enjoy the overview of the camp site- views blocked and feels so crowded next to each other. It would be nice to have a heated pool. I would still recommend this location.

Loved it. Nice campground with all the amenities. We stayed in a cabin and they are really close together but still, a nice place.
