A beautiful maintained oversized lot (6,542 sf). In the quiet, yet friendly Oyster Creek neighborhood. An oversized concrete pad awaits any sized RV, and all the hookups convey. Water, sewer, and electric. Our neighbor has access to golf cats, so if you might be in the need of one, he would be the person to inquire! Just 5 minutes away is the National seashore park. Plenty of parking and accessible by bikes. There you will find outdoor showers, and a boathouse. There is an airport for small engine aircraft’s. This and more awaits a tranquil holiday, where memories are made to last a lifetime. See why everyone who comes to Ocracoke, leaves it always waiting for the chance to come back, again and again. Black Beard knew a great spot, when he was here, and you will too. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Nice area quiet and well kept. everything you need to set up camp. The pad is a little quirky. Your power is on one side of the pad and water and sewer are on the other side. The pad I guessing is 36 feet wide, So you need to park according to how much cable or water line you have.I parked near the power so I had to run 25 ft of sewer line. and it goes up hill at the end so you had to walk out the drain line , There seems to be 2 inlets you need to look around for the lower one it is hidden in the grass. the other inlet sticks up so high it was difficult to get a good drane . both 50 and 30 amp are available. The water is Ocracoke water, I Never did like it You might want to bring bottle water , Although there is no problem with the water it is safe to use , I just don't like the water anywhere on the Island. no picnic table or trash cans. You can deposit trash at the trash depot next to the post office.
Not far from town so community store is just a few minutes away as well as Restaurants and shops. If I keep RVing I will be back .

Just leaving after such a relaxing week. My favorite place to vacation and was so glad to find this spot. Large site, easy access, I did not see a picnic table or trash bins, the electric and sewage are on opposite sides so you may need extra hose and park in the middle of pad. I would definitely return and am already looking at dates to re book

This is the perfect choice for those looking for simplicity when camping. The area was spacious and well maintained making it perfect for tents, or in my case, a small 15ft off grid camper. The driveway leads back to an area surrounded by trees giving it a sense of privacy despite not being out in the middle of no where. Given the convenience of the location.... you're not going to find a better deal for miles around if you're looking for something simple.

Beautiful setting that is convenient to Avon yet also private and natural. What a great way to use the space under a beach house! It was perfect to keep our teardrop out of the rain and give us plenty of covered space to spread out. Note that while this home is as close to the dune as possible, the homes on this part of the island are set back from the actual beach so there is a bit of a hilly nature walk to the dune and a steep drop down to the beach. However, that nature walk (complete with wild flowers) was actually our favorite part! Just a note that those who have mobility issues might need to use the public access walkway a few houses down the street which has decking and stairs for better accessibility. The owner is very quick to respond when we had questions. We did have a few minor issues (e.g no hot water or lights in the shower or bathroom) but we loved it regardless and will hopefully be back!
