Cape Hatteras is part of North Carolina's Outer Banks, a series of islands surrounded by turbulent currents and formidable sandbars, far offshore. The exciting waters and diverse topography of the region make Cape Hatteras a popular camping site. Campers can choose any one of a wide variety of options, from fully-equipped, coastal resort-style cabins and facilities, to primitive, secluded tent sites further inland.
Frisco Woods Campground is located on the Pamlico Sound Cape Hatteras National Seashore, offering a long seafront property that is excellent for watersports, as well as nearby woods for hiking and secluded camping. Frisco Woods has options for all campers. For those who prefer to camp in style, there are one- and two-room air-conditioned cabins, which include such amenities as cable TV, electric outlets and lighting, public phones and free wireless Internet access. For a step further into the wild, there are secluded campsites for RVs and pop-up tents with water and electricity, as well as additional primitive campsites that have no amenities. All campers have access to a general store and swimming pool as well as bathhouses with hot showers back at headquarters.
