There are few ways to better spend some quality time with the family than on a camping adventure. Many people head to the beautiful North Carolina coast each year for vacation, but few realize there’s a beach-side campground the size of a small town – and it’s filled with all the amenities to make your vacation unforgettable.

Cape Hatteras KOA Resort is located in the tiny coastal community of Rodanthe.

Remarkedly, there are more campsites and cabins in this colossal campground than there are people in all of Rodanthe (population, 260).

At capacity, the Cape Hatteras KOA swells to the size of a small town with a population of at least 1,200 people. (That figure is based on a little over 300 campsites and cabins with an occupancy of 4 persons each.)
