Why RVers stay here
Rodanthe Watersports & Campground is a small, low-key private campground on the sound side of Hatteras Island in North Carolina's Outer Banks. Where the big resort down the road runs on amenities, this one runs on wind: it caters to kiteboarders and windsurfers, and the flat-water launch off the sound gives it a different energy from the family mega-parks. It suits watersports travelers, and anyone who wants a quieter Rodanthe base with the famous oceanfront houses a short hop away.
Sites number roughly 100 and mix full hookups (30/50-amp, water and sewer) with more basic spots, so confirm what you are booking. Our guide lists rates of $45 to $85 a night and a 40-foot maximum. Booking details and season are not in our sources, so check directly with the operator, and remember that Hatteras Island access depends on Highway 12 staying open. The trade-off is that this is a specialist campground: if you do not care about wind sports, the bigger parks nearby offer more.
- ✓Sound-side flat water for launching kites and boards straight from camp.
- ✓A quieter, smaller feel than the large Hatteras resorts.
- ✓Full 30/50-amp hookups available on most sites, with rigs to 40 feet.
- ✓Rodanthe's well-known row of oceanfront houses is nearby.
- !Not every site is full hookup; some are basic, so confirm your site type.
- !40-foot limit; the campground is small and geared to wind-sports crowds rather than resort amenities.
