All to yourself
96% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.
A truly special property - one of the last of its kind on Hatteras Island. Wild wooded acreage spills down a shallow hill to reveal its very own private sandy soundfront beach. Total seclusion...Sunsets to die for...What more could you ask for? All centrally located in the middle of Hatteras Island within walking distance to several restaurants, ice-cream, surf shops, etc...This campsite is one of the last undeveloped wooded areas left in the villages of Rodanthe/Waves/Salvo within the Cape Hatteras National Seashore on Hatteras Island. Set yourself up, nestled in the live oak trees that open onto a private sandy soundfront beach. You will have Hip Kite Camp all to yourself - no other campers allowed on the entire half-acre property. Relax and enjoy amazing sunsets over the Pamlico Sound after a good day of surfing or kiteboarding - launching right from the sandy sound beach at your camp. The property is walking distance to beautiful uncrowded beaches and the Atlantic Ocean with some of the best surfing on the east coast as well as fishing, birding, etc.... Just a short walk to Dairy Queen (3 min), grab some açaí bowls and coffee at Hatteras Bowls, learn to kite surf at Real Kiteboarding, have breakfast at Ocean Atlantic Cafe , visit Hatteras Sail Shop, Hatteras Surf Shop, etc... Bring bikes and you can leave your vehicle parked - you won’t need it for the rest of your stay. Kayaks available (use caution, not responsible, Pamlico sound waters can be very windy.)

Great private spot with access to the water just a short walk away. Was able to back my 20 foot camper in with plenty of room at the site. Highly recommend and will be back.

The directions were good. Pulling in with traffic is tricky. We have a 16 ft pull behind. Had a lovely time! A short walk through the trees and you are on the bay. Perfect sunset destination. 😎

A MUST!!
This campsite is an absolute hidden gem. It's in a remote location with breathtaking views of the sound and kite-surfers, and Scooter made our stay unforgettable! He went above and beyond, making this an excellent birthday camping weekend for my partner even with very wet weather! We can't recommend this place enough, and since it's just an hour's drive for us, we'll definitely be back. Don't miss this extraordinary experience!

Awesome campsite! Right off the main road up and down the OBX, so there is a bit of noise, but it feels private in your enclosed spot. The short trail (2 min walk) to the sound was perfect, and it looks like there’s even a spot back there for a tent. Our 20’ van fit snugly in the front area but backing out onto the main road was a little tough with our cargo carrier (making us extra long with a bit of a slope), so if you’re able, back into the site. It was very hot but there was a bit of a breeze, especially by the sound where you can walk out 50+ ft into the water without going above your knees. Watching the kiteboarders on the sound at sunset on our own private beach was a once in a lifetime experience. There are a few business around for food/drinks and plenty of water sports and beach areas. Highly recommend this spot!

This was a great little spot to camp and we really enjoyed our time here. The spot was private with its own little beach. We spent several hours watching the kite boarders and wading in the water, looking for shells and seeing lots of little fish. We were blessed with the most beautiful sunsets during our stay.
