Frisco Woods Campground

210 RV Sites, 31 Cabins, 27 Tent Sites

Frisco Woods Campground in North Carolina offers 210 RV sites, 31 cabins, and 27 tent sites on the Pamlico Sound side of Hatteras Island, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 44 feet. Soundfront back-in categories at both amperages join full-hookup and water-and-electric tiers, with an outdoor pool, recreation center, and maritime forest. Two hundred ten back-in sites span 30-amp, 50-amp, 30/50-amp, water-and-electric, soundfront 30-amp, and soundfront 30/50-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with cable TV, sized to 44 feet. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. The soundfront categories are the reason to book here. Thirty-one cabins and 27 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a recreation center, playground, and dog park filling the grounds. The sound carries boating, canoeing, kayaking, water sports, swimming, and surfing, with productive birding through the maritime forest and wine tasting nearby. Pets are welcome. The soundfront position makes this a premier kiteboarding and windsurfing base — the shallow, steady-wind water of Pamlico Sound is among the best on the East Coast for it, while Cape Hatteras National Seashore's Atlantic beach sits just across the island. The campground has been family owned for five decades. Summer is decisively the season on the Outer Banks. Reserve well ahead.
