Hatteras Sands Camping Resort draws repeat visitors for its friendly staff, convenient Hatteras Village location, and simple, cozy cabins and cottages, though reviews note small spaces, occasional maintenance lapses, and spotty Wi‑Fi.
Guests appreciate the pool, canal access for fishing and kayaking, and the clubhouse or arcade, but mention pool closures at times, a nonworking hot tub, potholes at the cabin entrance, and closely spaced units that can be noisy. Cleanliness is mixed: many describe clean cabins and bathhouses, while others report ants, occasional roaches, dirty floors or fixtures, and sporadic housekeeping misses. Some reviewers also cite surprise fees or charges. Expect a basic, laid‑back base near the beach rather than a luxury stay.

Nice little camp ground. Friendly staff, clean camp ground and clean rental. We rented the single wide mobile home. It was more than enough space for my husband and I. A cute little secluded sitting area, with a little grill and a little patio for chairs, in front of the rental. A short walk to the beach, a cute canal running all away around the camp ground that you can fish or kayak in. A cute little bridge over the canal, which u can get amazing sun rising pics from.

Really liked the cabin (though not a rain shower as advertised) the queen bed had a good mattress that much appreciated and the club house and arcade are very nice as is the pool. I feel like they cld do alot with a little landscaping around the cottages and cabins though. I did not appreciate being charged for extra car before telling me and charging for it 3 nights even though my daughter only stayed one night. I do love how welcoming they are to your 4legged family members ❤️ all in all we will return its in a prime location to the beach -sound -Ferry-& shopping

Overall it was clean. The staff was very friendly. The pool not being open was upsetting because it was the reason I booked the cottage and then couldn’t shower for the last 2 days because of a broken propane line causing no hot water

My family and i enjoyed our stay and know for sure we will be back. We like that we had a rest room in the unit rhat we stayed. The people working at the property were very nice. We do wish the air conditioner unit had been cleaned. It was moldy and dusty. And some of us have allergies to mold. Besides that we loved our stay.

The floors were dirty and dusty. toilet would run constantly unless you picked up the tank lid and pulled the bulb up to stop it from running. The plastic wrapped mattress was awful, it made my sheets ball up under me due to the slippery nature of the plastic wrap on the bed. We woke up with ants all over the counter that had the microwave on it, and they had gotten into some food we had there, we had to throw our food away due to the ant invasion. No tissues, or paper towels were provided and we were charged another $20.00 for arriving early and practically all the cabins were empty so I didn't understand the reason for the extra charge. The good thing was the beautiful birds that were feeding on the canal that surrounds the cabins. The birds were awesome. I

In a great location. We stayed in a cottage. Room was clean. Bathroom facilities were clean. The woman at the front desk (I think her name was Cassandra, but I could be wrong) was helpful and friendly. Only downside is the cottages are super close together and the neighbors that came for the weekend took up two cottages and they were obnoxiously loud until midnight.

Have stayed at Hatteras Sands MANY times thru out the years. Have never encountered any real issues. HOWEVER, this time was different. Upon checking in the guy said he wasnt going to charge us 20 for early check in bc we werent staying we were only checking in so it wasnt almost 9pm when we came off beach but then he said he was and when I paid him in cash he only opened the cash register and placed our 20 in it, no receipt, he first stated bc we werent going to be there he wasnt going to charge us to simply drop our refrigerator food off but then out of no where did charge us. Secondly, when we came off the beach the room had some issues, like the front door was jammed and wouldnt stay shut unless we locked the deadbolt, after the first day my husband fixed it. The shower floor had a lot of sand in the bottom from the previous renters. The floors under the bunks had dog hair under them (kind gross) when I tried sweeping the floors the dog hair caught flight and ended up on the counters and bed, then the lawn around the cabin was high and the picnic tables displaced (we had to shuffle them into place.) Just felt like they werent being maintained like in the past visits. We;ll still be back bc its an ideal location for fishing at the point. But frustrating bc no one wants to clean up from the last folks. Hoping this was just an isolated incident. Still will recommend Hatteras Sands.

Did not like the fact that there are cockroaches. Talked to the gentleman at the front desk advising we were checking out early due to the cockroaches. He said they spend thousands of dollars every year but can not get rod of all of them. Also when we got there i tries to rent linens since they advertised on their website they have them for rent. We was able to get sheets, toewels and wash clothes but they did not have blankets. We had to go to the dollar store to buy blankets. Over all would not stay there again. They do not offer any type of refunds. I did purchase travel ins so hopefully i get some money back since i paid for to stay from Saturday to Saturday and left of tuesday. I had 2 people traveling with me that have been allgery tested and tested positive for allergy to cockroaches.

This campground was disgusting. Staying in a cottage we had no access to running water so we had to go to the bathhouse which was almost always closed for ‘cleaning’ but remained filthy the entire time. When you shower, the water fills up the entire shower and floods because they are so nasty. The handle was broken on the door to even get out of the bathhouse. When entering our cottage, it was filthy and there was still trash in it. The pillows left to be used had mold all over them, the refrigerator was filthy it looked like someone had thrown up all over it. My daughter woke up with bug bites on her the first night of staying. I was told by the manager I would get a call when I was checking out, and never received one which is not shocking. I called days later to speak with someone which was very rude and when I told her I was calling to give them a chance to make it right before I left a negative review, she told me ‘okay Paige have a nice day’ and hung up. Please save yourself from staying in such a trashy place. I’ve never been so excited to get home from a vacation. Do not stay here!!!

Beds were extremely uncomfortable. Shower had hair and toothpaste residue from previous tenant. Mat for shower and front door were not provided which made the floor terribly slippery when getting out of the shower or when it was raining out. The property has a lot of potential but there is a lot of construction currently. Some tv channels were snowy. We only got two pillows for three beds. However, I did like the location which was close to a lot and the ferry. Staff was very nice and attentive. It was nice to walk along the channel and see fish and crabs.

The staff were AWESOME! Camp was Clean! 1 We were supplied with 2 trash can liners can, Main & bathroom, we had to empty trash often(ants) Staff would have given more but we didn't ask, used our own sacks to run up to the dumpster a few times a day. 2. ANTS - I understand they are an issue, however it needs to be post or in the information. You CAN NOT leave anything in the room that ants can get into. Not even toothpaste. The ants got into everything. Our closed cooler couldnt even keep them out. Please note these cabins are SMALL! would be great for 2 people but not 3 or 4! However, Its very close to everything, very convient. NOTE: YOU MUST BRING YOUR OWN BEDDING, TOWELS, WASHCLOTHS, FLOOR MATS ECT. Nothing is offered, except 2 pillows. There is TP!! There are 3 plugs in the cabbins, bring USB extention cords for charging. There are cute little front porches so don't forget your chairs, like I did. But if you do the local Ace Hardware has some for sale! Also, the park only give 1 key for the cabin, so if you and your guest want to split off there are not the tridional key cards like at hotels, you will receive 1 dead bolt key. Parking is a bit tight esp. for BIG trucks. Each cabin has porch lights, when turned on they light up your cabin all night. If you like it dark bring a sleeping mask.

This place is great and also close everything in hatteras. It's a very layed back and chill place. This was probably our 6th time staying here in the last 4 years. We stayed in a cabin because of the bathroom. It's spacious enough for my wife and I, and we always bring our chocolate lab. We usually stay in the spring and fall. Everytime but once we've arrived early (not extremely early) and they've usually never had an issue with going on ahead and checking us in. There was a bad Nor'easter that hit and the water got up to the steps, but where you park your vehicle was dry. Everyone from my experience who stays here is always friendly and nice. It's not a trashy place. It's a perfect place for if you want a long stay, and not staying in a rental house with a group. Also it's a great place if you're coming down to mostly fish.

This was our second stay at Hatteras Sands and I cannot praise this group enough. The cabins are camping cabins, no luxury cabins but comfortable none the less! We had an incredible experience from start to finish. Cassandra (I’m so sorry if I messed up your name!) was at the desk whenever we checked in, right as the car we were driving was breaking down. We had driven 420+ miles to get to Hatteras Village and I was nearly hysterical about being stranded. She went above and beyond to ensure I felt safe, secure and do my best to enjoy our vacation. The campground is well maintained and the community cannot be matched. If you stay, you’ve got to try Harbor House Seafood (shrimp boil!) and Dancing Turtle Coffee shop. The campground is within walking distance to the major attractions at Hatteras Village, so while we were unable to drive our car, we still could enjoy the OBX. Thank you all again!

My wife and I came here for our Honeymoon and after an initial miscommunication entirely on our end they were able to accommodate and salvage what could have been a very disappointing situation. They literally saved my Honeymoon and made my bride a very happy new wife indeed! 1 million stars...and a half

Came for the first time to Hatteras and had a great time. Went fishing one day and had blast catching Mahi, and Blackfin. It close to the marina which was a plus. The site manager was excellent at making recommendations as to things to see and places to eat. Overall great trip and will be back.

Really liked the cabin (though not a rain shower as advertised) the queen bed had a good mattress that much appreciated and the club house and arcade are very nice as is the pool. I feel like they cld do alot with a little landscaping around the cottages and cabins though. I did not appreciate being charged for extra car before telling me and charging for it 3 nights even though my daughter only stayed one night. I do love how welcoming they are to your 4legged family members ❤️ all in all we will return its in a prime location to the beach -sound -Ferry-& shopping

Have stayed at Hatteras Sands MANY times thru out the years. Have never encountered any real issues. HOWEVER, this time was different. Upon checking in the guy said he wasnt going to charge us 20 for early check in bc we werent staying we were only checking in so it wasnt almost 9pm when we came off beach but then he said he was and when I paid him in cash he only opened the cash register and placed our 20 in it, no receipt, he first stated bc we werent going to be there he wasnt going to charge us to simply drop our refrigerator food off but then out of no where did charge us. Secondly, when we came off the beach the room had some issues, like the front door was jammed and wouldnt stay shut unless we locked the deadbolt, after the first day my husband fixed it. The shower floor had a lot of sand in the bottom from the previous renters. The floors under the bunks had dog hair under them (kind gross) when I tried sweeping the floors the dog hair caught flight and ended up on the counters and bed, then the lawn around the cabin was high and the picnic tables displaced (we had to shuffle them into place.) Just felt like they werent being maintained like in the past visits. We;ll still be back bc its an ideal location for fishing at the point. But frustrating bc no one wants to clean up from the last folks. Hoping this was just an isolated incident. Still will recommend Hatteras Sands.

I cannot say enough great things about this campground! The staff was friendly and helpful. Bathrooms were incredibly clean. The cottage was perfect for our needs. We loved our stay and totally recommend Hatteras Sands!

This campground was disgusting. Staying in a cottage we had no access to running water so we had to go to the bathhouse which was almost always closed for ‘cleaning’ but remained filthy the entire time. When you shower, the water fills up the entire shower and floods because they are so nasty. The handle was broken on the door to even get out of the bathhouse. When entering our cottage, it was filthy and there was still trash in it. The pillows left to be used had mold all over them, the refrigerator was filthy it looked like someone had thrown up all over it. My daughter woke up with bug bites on her the first night of staying. I was told by the manager I would get a call when I was checking out, and never received one which is not shocking. I called days later to speak with someone which was very rude and when I told her I was calling to give them a chance to make it right before I left a negative review, she told me ‘okay Paige have a nice day’ and hung up. Please save yourself from staying in such a trashy place. I’ve never been so excited to get home from a vacation. Do not stay here!!!

Nice place to stay. Would stay again. Just beware they charge $50 on pet fee's and their website clearly said $25 for cottages. No refund given for that. But other than that nice experience

I enjoy this campground. It is close to Hatteras Point, fishing, the ferry, shopping, and restaurants. The staff are superstars, so personal and professional. I highly recommend this campground. Its not fancy but it is very clean and comfortable. We will alsways come back, and generally stay here atleast 3xs a season.

Nice little camp ground. Friendly staff, clean camp ground and clean rental. We rented the single wide mobile home. It was more than enough space for my husband and I. A cute little secluded sitting area, with a little grill and a little patio for chairs, in front of the rental. A short walk to the beach, a cute canal running all away around the camp ground that you can fish or kayak in. A cute little bridge over the canal, which u can get amazing sun rising pics from.

This place is great and also close everything in hatteras. It's a very layed back and chill place. This was probably our 6th time staying here in the last 4 years. We stayed in a cabin because of the bathroom. It's spacious enough for my wife and I, and we always bring our chocolate lab. We usually stay in the spring and fall. Everytime but once we've arrived early (not extremely early) and they've usually never had an issue with going on ahead and checking us in. There was a bad Nor'easter that hit and the water got up to the steps, but where you park your vehicle was dry. Everyone from my experience who stays here is always friendly and nice. It's not a trashy place. It's a perfect place for if you want a long stay, and not staying in a rental house with a group. Also it's a great place if you're coming down to mostly fish.

In a great location. We stayed in a cottage. Room was clean. Bathroom facilities were clean. The woman at the front desk (I think her name was Cassandra, but I could be wrong) was helpful and friendly. Only downside is the cottages are super close together and the neighbors that came for the weekend took up two cottages and they were obnoxiously loud until midnight.

This place is the best price and you really get alot more than what you pay. I'm a big guy (6'7", 290lbs) and the place we stay in, is a cabin. The cabins have a bathroom that I fit very comfortable in and the showers are great too. Lots of hot water and very spacious. Alot of campground cabins I've stayed at have cracks to allow mosquitos to fly in. These are sealed great and stay warm or cool for whatever time of the year. My wife and I love them bc they are pet friendly but you'd never know a pet was in one of these because they always smell good and are very clean. The staff is always accomendating and super nice, if you need something. The grounds are amazing and the clientele of everyone who stays there is good (no sketchos). It's also a good central location in hatteras. We stay there bc I fish alot out of hatteras marina, so it's close. I hope the prices will stay the same bc we plan on staying there unless it closes.

A very charming and well maintained campground. My little peach colored cabin was like something out of a storybook. Cassandra, the greeter in the office, was such a delight to work with!

Office closes at 5 pm daily. I have never experienced this at a camping/rv park; my family and I have stayed in many over the years. We arrived at 5:30 pm. Check- in begins at 4:00 pm. The key to the cottage was posted on a late-check-in board. Parking at Cottage is very far away. Not sure why, because there is a very big grassy area right in front of the cottages that could be converted into parking instead of grass to look at. Do not let the map fool you! Access to the bathhouse is blocked off by a fence. So guests of the cottages have to walk all the way down to the parking lot, then around the campground. The cottage is very, very small. Good for 2 people, but awful for a family of 4 or more. Would not recommend staying in cottages at all! The bathhouse was clean, but the faucets are falling off the shower, one door on the shower has been destroyed, looks like by someone punching it, the hangers are broken, and the first toilet you walk into constantly leaks. "Game room" is trash. The pool table is broken, and 2 of the 4 "arcade" games are broken. Hatteras Sands needs major upgrades to facilities!!! It seems the staff only does the bare minimum to keep it afloat.
