Hunting Isalnd is a great campground. The bath houses, (there are many) are very clean. Most of the campsites are secluded and very nice. Easy walk to the beach. We were there this week for several days with the grandkids. A great place this time of the year. No crouds. You can rent cabins too. Get great fresh shrimp and seafood at Gay\'s just a couple miles down the road. See all the shrimp boats there. The camp staff is very friendly and helpful. A real treasure of a campground.

The lighthouse has been re-opened and it is well worth the $1-2 they ask as a donation, to be able to climb to the top and enjoy the view on a sunny day!

Absolutely gorgeous beach, decent bath houses, beautiful remote setting
|
Cons:

Some campsites near the beach are tight and have no privacy

This was a great place to stay....we just happened to land there during Easter break so it was kind of a mad house. That was the only real drawback. I liked that it was so remote. It only takes about 20 minutes to drive into Beaufort if you need stuff. If you want the best private spots there see if you can get them to give you either site 95 or 158. 95 is in a woodsy setting but has a path to the beach through the trees right behind it. Be sure to explore the beach when the tide is going out, there are tons of shells and cool gnarly trees felled by beach erosion and storms.

Right on the beach

Bath houses are a little older and could use a reno.

We were there January 2010 and it was FREEZING! Literally - 21 degrees! But, the beach was beautiful, there were sand dollars and sharks teeth galore and the lighthouse was an easy walk.

My wife and I loved this campground. We were there in November 2010. One of the rangers told us it was the perfect time of year and I have to agree. We intend to return.

great beaches, not crowded (March), friendly staff, trails for bikes or walking, wildlife

Cons:
|
gnatts and mosquitos when breeze stops, no sewer hookups at trailer (dump station only), no internet

We were there 2 days March 2011. Enjoyed bike trails, beaches, wildlife, historic program at visitor center. Beaches are wide at low tide. There has been storm erosion recently that left trees on the beaches. Light house is open. Great local seafood.
