Escape to a private island in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. This secluded paradise sits in a protected position on the Roanoke Sound, where gentle waves lap the shoreline, bringing the peace of an oceanfront beach. Behind it, acres of private wetlands stretch toward the infamous John’s Ditch—where parts of a popular Netflix series were filmed. This wooded island of oaks and cedars owes its lushness to a subterranean freshwater aquifer flowing beneath this eco-elemental haven. A sloping white-sand beachfront is perfect for sunbathing, launching a kayak or paddleboard, or anchoring a flat-bottom, pontoon, or open-bow boat—available for rent through our concierge service. Guided dolphin tours, fishing expeditions, parasailing, kiteboarding, jet skis, and more can also be arranged to round out your island getaway. Whether you’d like your vacation fully coordinated or prefer a simple camping experience—the choice is yours. Please note: this is a true off-grid camping experience. No facilities—including electricity or plumbing—are available. While cell service is generally reliable, we encourage you to disconnect and use phones only for emergencies. Drinking water and bio-relief facilities are the camper’s responsibility but can be arranged through our exclusive concierge service. Leave No Trace camping regulations are enforced, so please plan accordingly—or book our full-service Island Sweep check-out service in advance. Don’t worry if you forget something—you’re just five minutes by boat from the public dock where you park your vehicle, with easy access to groceries and gear in nearby Nags Head. Alternatively, daily deliveries of food, firewood, and other essentials can be pre-booked through the concierge. If you’re seeking an off-grid island getaway, an exclusive retreat, or a private island camping experience to disconnect, reconnect, and recharge—book now. This OBX private island is available for a limited time only.

Joyce was very kind and allowed me to set up near the fire pit and outside toilet. The near by water area was pretty, especially at sunset. This is a great place for anyone who wants to be in solitude and stick to the campsite. Except for the local hunters who briefly set off some rounds in the day time, it was incredibly quiet. The site is in a very small rural community with only a single convenient store, but there are no shops or local entertainment. Would recommend for anyone into having a complete wilderness experience.

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 .

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!

We loved camping at this horse farm. Dawn was responsive and easy to work with. The drive back to the site can be a little tight but if you take your time you can make it easily. Water and electric worked perfectly. It's a great location in fairly close proximity to Rehoboth and other beaches in the area.

A great little spot in Wanchese, just a few minutes from where Hwy 64 hits 12 at the beach. I was here several nights as I explored the OBX and it the location was perfect. Not too far from Wright Brothers memorial and a perfect spot if you want to go north or south on OBX. The spot is simple but comfortable, just off the road in front of the host’s house. The road is pretty quiet and there’s a hedge to provide privacy from the road. I stayed both weekdays and a weekend day, the road noise was minimal as the location isnt too far from the “end of the road”. There is a 30 amp hookup, water and sewer connection available. Levi was an awesome and friendly host, a great guy to chat with when we passed each other. I would definitely come stay again at this site.
