Why RVers stay here
Camp Hatteras RV Resort & Campground is the largest and best-known private RV park on Hatteras Island in North Carolina's Outer Banks, located in Waves between Rodanthe and Salvo. The island is narrow enough here that the park sits between the Atlantic and Pamlico Sound: some sites look at the ocean, others over the sound. It suits families and travelers who want a full-amenity resort stay on the Outer Banks, the polar opposite of the exposed, no-hookup National Park Service beach campgrounds down the road.
Expect a full resort operation with 400-plus sites, full 30/50-amp hookups with water and sewer, a pool, hot tub, marina and direct sound-side water access for kayaks and paddleboards, plus laundry and a seasonal pool. Rigs up to 45 feet fit. Our Outer Banks guide lists $65 to $120 a night depending on season and site type, booked directly with the park, and it is open year-round. The trade-off is demand: it fills well in advance for summer, and booking 6 to 12 months ahead for peak season is normal. Beach access is a short drive rather than a walk, and paved roads and a social atmosphere replace the wild dune camping that draws many people to the OBX.
