Sands of Time Campground
Overview
Overview
Situated directly along the shifting coastal landscapes of Avon, NC, Sands of Time Campground places travelers right on the rugged and windswept barrier islands of the Outer Banks. This destination reflects the maritime heritage and raw natural beauty of Dare County, offering an authentic coastal camping environment shaped by the Atlantic Ocean on one side and Pamlico Sound on the other.
Location & Surroundings
Access to this campground involves navigating NC Highway 12, the main scenic artery running the length of Hatteras Island. Visitors arrive through expansive salt marshes, towering dunes, and maritime forests typical of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The climate brings steady ocean breezes, shifting weather patterns, and open skies that expose campers to the intense elements of a dynamic coastal barrier island setting.

Nearby Attractions & Things to Do

The iconic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse stands just a short drive south, while the surrounding waters of the Pamlico Sound draw windsurfers, kiteboarders, and anglers from across the country.

Who This Park Is Best For
This location suits self-sufficient road-trippers and beach lovers who prioritize a coastal geography over urban convenience.

There is never no toilet paper in the bathrooms no paper towels bathrooms never being clean no lights on the property there are no locks on the bathroom doors or the shower doors in the men's bathroom it is a very quiet location for the most part sometimes some of the neighbors talk too damn much and they're just too damn loud but for the most part is a very quiet place

One of our favorite places to be! Large lots in a quiet campground. Clean bathrooms and great location, easy to get anywhere on the island in no time!

Sands of Time is a quiet little campground. It's for beach people. There's no pool or playground. What I like the most about it is that almost everyone is a regular. Some people keep their camper there year round. Others reserve the same site every year for the same period of time. Everyone is nice and helpful. I had to leave early this year because of back problems. People helped me pack up, took my trash to the dumpster and ordered to pick up food and groceries for me. There is no place I'd rather be

We spent the best 6 days here, in July of 2021, we got up every morning and went to the pier to watch some amazing sunrises. The owner was super sweet, allowed us extra time in the laundry. Super quiet, great service. If your in for a party every night; this is not the place for you, the KOA is up the road if you wish for a resort feel. Excellent place to stay!

Spent the summer of 2020 here & loved it. Spent the summer of 2021 here & will not return. Septic tank 3 ft from my RV overflowed due to poor maintenance, resulting in major cockroach infestation in my RV. When I complained about the fecal stench, I was obscenely scolded by mgmt. Lots of problems here. I give this "campground" 10 thumbs down. Many other issues... don't stay here!!!
