Jerniman's Campground is a family-friendly island campground located on Ocracoke Island, offering a unique and enjoyable getaway experience. The campground features spacious camper, RV, and tent lots, all with convenient hookups for water, septic, and electricity. Visitors can rent golf carts to explore the area easily and enjoy amenities like picnic tables and a full, private bathhouse with four units. The location is excellent, close to the village's restaurants, shops, and attractions, making it easy for guests to dine out and explore. Access is via a ferry from Cedar Island, and although the entrance sign can be hard to see from the highway, the campground accommodates large vehicles comfortably, with sites large enough for 40- and 45-foot rigs. Guests praise the water quality, strong Verizon signal, and friendly staff, who go above and beyond to help, such as offering free stays or extra amenities in case of issues. The campground is also near the best local restaurants, museums, and points of interest, like the Ocracoke Lighthouse and the British Cemetery. Despite challenges like flooding and storm damage, visitors appreciate the friendly atmosphere, clean facilities, and stunning sunsets, making Jerniman's a top choice for a relaxing island retreat.
Jernimans Campground is the perfect location for us. Right on the edge of the village and right beside our favorite ramp #72! They have always been very accommodating to us as well. On-site cart rental thats very reasonable. Full hookup sites available if you plan ahead.
