Some pics from camping in the Outer Banks. Went way down past the Hatteras Lighthouse to Frisco National Park. It's a no hookups large campground in the dunes next to the shore. Driving on the beach and campfires on the beach are allowed (with permits this year, which we did). The weather was great, it never got over 80, the ocean was warm, and the breeze was nice but sometimes it gusted too much for me to consider putting up my awning. I'll get pics of it next time.

Roadside park on Hwy 12 about halfway down.

The ocean was a little frothy. There were riptide warnings but you could spot them fairly easily. I stayed waist deep and body surfed a bit but didn't wander out too far. A few did.

It wasn't crowded. If you drive far enough down the National Seashore you'll find huge stretches of deserted beach, even in the summer.

Campfire on the beach.
