Oregon Inlet Campground is also home to one of the worlds largest heards of mosquitoes on the east coast. Do not camp close to any of the bushes or you will be eaten alive if the wind stops.
Cape Hatteras National Seashore is one of those places everyone should add to their bucket list. The outer banks is a chain of barrier islands stretching almost the entire length (north & south) of North Carolina.

The wind stops? We were there for a couple of days in April many years ago and listened to the crinkling of the plastic in the PUP. Also saw a fully setup dome tent (fairly large) that must not have been staked as it was rolling around like a beach ball.

Yep, it can be windy. My first camping trip out of the Navy was to Oregon Inlet. We had borrowed a Thermos "pop tent" from one of the girl's parents, but had never heard of sand stakes. Got woke up at 3 am by an elbow in the ribs & Marti shrieking ... "My side of the tent's collapsing! Do something!"
I pulled my boots on and went out in the cold windy dark in my underwear.... The only thing I could figure out to do was rope a couple of the tent's windward ribs to the bumper of my old Scout. It worked.

The wind stops? Now that is a rare occurence on OBX Don't believe I've ever experienced that in all the years we've camped there...but when the wind backs and comes from the mainland, thats when the skeeters feast!

The last time we camped at OBX was in mid June. The temps varied from hot to cool. We wore long sleeves and jackets several times so go prepaired for a variety of temps.
Also, humidity can factor in your comfort level as its not unusual for it to get sticky. Have fun!

Can someone familiar with the weather tell me how hot it gets at night? We'll be able to tolerate daytime by jumping in the ocean, but I'm worried about being able to sleep at night. We will have fans, of course.
Thanks for the heads up.
