![]() We were happy with the $28/night at Frisco Campground.There’s nothing quite like a day at the beach, and with over 70 miles of National Seashore spanning from Oregon Inlet to the Southern tip of Ocracoke Island, the Outer Banks offers plenty of opportunities to explore the sand and get your feet wet in the cool ocean waves. If you absolutely must have hook-ups, there are private campgrounds that have them. ![]() So choose your route based on how you like to travel. The more you move north in the Outer Banks from Ocracoke, the busier and more touristy it got. It’s a family-owned restaurant, and the owners are super friendly.Īs always, if you’d rather watch a video, The Motorhome Experiment has you covered! You should totally subscribe to their channel while you’re there. But Buxton Munch had a tasty black bean wrap that hit the spot. Vegan eats at Buxton MunchĪs a vegan, you don’t come to this area for the spectacular food choices. Find one near you with Atlas Obscura’s map. There are 60 of these Futuro Homes still in existence. The current owners of this one are playing up its flying saucer shape to the extreme. In the 1960s people bought these as vacation homes. When we stayed at Frisco Campground, we found out this Futuro House was nearby. When we hit a new area, we always like to consult Atlas Obscure for the more off-beat attractions. Crazy! Of course, I don’t have a good photo of that for some reason. ![]() You can still see it’s path from the top of the lighthouse. They didn’t take it apart and rebuild it. Second, they had to move the lighthouse inland 2900 feet because it was in danger of being washed away, First, it’s the tallest brick lighthouse in the United States at 210 ft. The Cape Hatteras Light House has a couple of claims to fame. All of the lighthouses and light stations are picturesque, give you fantastic views if you climb them and some have interesting stories.

She said the all-wheel drive would be okay, but clearance might be an issue.Īnd when we went down there, we watched some guy stuck in the sand and decided against it. We were going to get a permit for our Subaru, but the woman at the visitor center talked us into going to look at the access first. And there’s off-road vehicle (ORV) access at Frisco Campground. If you have a 4-wheel-drive vehicle, you can get a permit to take it on the beach. And you can have a beach bonfire, but you need to get a permit first.Īs far as wildlife goes, there are deer in the campground. The beaches here are lovely just like Ocracoke. But we didn’t hang out here much and instead spent time exploring. On the downside, our site was a little tight. We went all the way to the back of the campground up on the dune and got a bit of a view. And because the campground is in the dunes, some of the sites have ocean views. May would probably be about right.Īlso, like Ocracoke, the shower water is not heated.īut, on the positive side, the sites are relatively private. It was a little warm but not unbearable in early June. Like Ocracoke, Frisco Campground has no hook-ups at the sites.

It is quite the experience.įrisco Campground, Cape Hatteras National Seashore Small bitch session We were parked close enough to each other to pass snacks back and forth through the windows. The line looked like it was going to take a while, so we checked out the beach right next to the RVs. So that’s two class A motorhomes and their toads on this ferry. Remember how we said that Ocracoke is an island with no bridges? That means we got to take the RV on another ferry.Īnd this time there were two of us since The Motorhome Experiment joined us. As sad as we were to leave Ocracoke, we had places to go and more of the Outer Banks to see! Next stop: Frisco Campground, also part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. ![]()
