I always enjoy your videos. I see you have a new family member. 😊 I was happy to see the beach on Emerald Isle is pet friendly! Do you happen to remember if clam screen enclosures were permitted at the Holiday Travel Park?
Oh that is our lovely grand dog Flo! We don't know for sure about the enclosures... hmm probably best to call them directly as we don't want to give you the wrong advice !
Fantastic job editing this video! From the transitions to the variety and use of music, wow! So many great places to camp, I think my wife would love the Holiday Trav-L Park since it's so close to the beach! I'll have to see how close it is to us!
I have just scheduled a 2 week camping trip for May to the Outer Banks, staying at 3 NPS campgrounds in the Cape Hatteras National Seashore going from north to south - Oregon Inlet, Frisco and Ocracoke Island. There is a free ferry to get from the southern end of Cape Hatteras to Ocracoke Island. I've been to the OBX a couple of times previously, but this will be my first visit to Ocracoke Island. I was surprised I was able to reserve campsites for the dates I wanted only 3 to 5 weeks ahead of time. I'm sure that would not be the case for the heavy tourist season from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The weather in May is usually perfect with average high temperatures around 75 and lows near 60. For those who like camping at the beach without big crowds, May and September-October at the Outer Banks is spectacular. You're not stuck in one place looking at the same beach every day. There are plenty of things to see and do all along the Outer Banks and small villages with groceries and restaurants. I can't think of another place that compares to the Outer Banks in the offseason in terms of scenery, weather (assuming you avoid hurricanes in the fall) and the lack of crowds. There is loads of great birding at Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge and many other locations. I will be tent camping with my dog and almost everywhere in the Outer Banks is pet friendly. The NPS campgrounds are ridiculous bargains if you don't require all the amenities - $14 a night (50% discount) with a senior National Parks Lifetime Passport. They have flush toilets, running water and outdoor showers, which is all I need. If you have a 4 wheel drive vehicle, you can drive on many of the beaches with an OBX permit. I believe a 10 day permit is $50 and a 12 month permit is $100.
Great video! Sadly we are priced out of the Emerald Isle campground. They are very proud of their sites compared to others.
Hey Riley!!! ❤❤❤
Great review of the rv parks. We somehow have missed them all so far but now have some to add to our list! Loved seeing Riley and Flo :).
Lets plan a trip together this year!

Thanks for all the detail! We love the OBX as well. I'm sure your comment will help many who are planning to travel there this year..
