## Overview

Cape Point Campground sites have a shortened reservation window. Due to the
ground saturation and potential for flooding we encourage you to check the
sites prior to paying. Cape Point Campground is centrally located to all of
the attractions on Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The campground puts you
within walking distance of arguably the best fishing and surfing on the east
coast.

## Recreation

A short walk through the dunes leads you to the beach at the infamous Cape
Hatteras. Many trophy fish have been landed from the point, and it has been a
surfing destination for decades. If you prefer to drive to the beach you can
access one of the many off-road vehicle ramps within a short distance of the
campground. Exploration of the barrier islands beyond their beaches is
possible on a hike through the nearby maritime forest. The Buxton Woods Trail
is a 3/4 mile loop that can be accessed just north of the campground at the
Buxton Woods Picnic Area on Lighthouse Road.

## Natural Features

The campground is nestled between rolling dunes to the south and the largest
remaining tract of maritime forest on the North Carolina coast to the north.
The environment is naturally suited to accommodate many bird and mammal
species. A large heard of white tail deer frequent the area.

## Nearby Attractions

The iconic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse is located just north of Cape Point
Campground on Lighthouse Road next to the Visitor Center. Standing at 198
feet, Cape Hatteras Lighthouse is the tallest brick lighthouse in the United
States. It has undoubtedly saved the lives of many mariners navigating around
the treacherous Diamond Shoals. The Museum of the Sea is also located near the
Visitor Center within the shadow of the lighthouse. The museum's operating
hours vary with the season.  
  
Buxton Beach is a family friendly swimming destination staffed with lifeguards
from Memorial Day to Labor Day. It is a short walk or bike ride from the
campground. Parking is available at the old lighthouse site adjacent to the
current location of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse.
