We had a great stay at Frisco Woods Campground! The environment was peaceful and relaxing, with absolutely beautiful sunsets each evening over the sound. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home. The bathhouse was one of the cleanest we’ve seen at any campground — a definite plus! Highly recommend for anyone looking to camp in the Frisco, NC area.

My family had a nice visit to Frisco Woods Campground. The campsite was nice and pretty easy to access. The pool and sound were a favorite for my family. They have a nice stocked camp store up front too. Just a word to the wise, avoid accidentally using their employee only bathroom in there because the employees (two older women to be exact) will absolutely bash you no matter who’s in the store. In this case it was his wife who was in the store and heard every nasty thing those two ladies said when my husband made that very simple mistake. In summary, nice campground that could use some better help.

Thank you Don for your generosity and tentativeness to caring for the guests at the campground. Always checking on everyone and seems happy to be at work every day. He will go the extra mile to make your stay comfortable. He deserves a raise and a vacation since he works such long hours.

This was our first time to camp here. It is a nice camping area. The workers here were very nice and helpful. The bathrooms are very clean and well taken care of. We would definitely stay here again if we're back in the area. You can walk up to the road they have a nice restaurant right there at the entrance. The restaurant has seafood that is freshly caught. They also serve specialty drinks or food, which was delicious

I called with a complicated reservation several family members for 2 cabins and 1 RV spot with varying dates for each one. I spoke to Kriston who couldn’t have been more accommodating, courteous and helpful making the making experience just perfect. I could tell the place was very busy and she was clearly multi tasking but she hung right in there and was super efficient and very nice to deal with. So a big shout out to customer service from these fine folks. I can’t wait to see you and visit your campground soon.

We stayed here over 4th of July for 5 days/nights. We were in S29 right on the sound. This was a pretty large site and we did have a little shade from a few trees nearby. No one showed up for the last site S30 so we had a great view and only 1 neighbor while there. If we come here again I would want one of these sites. More room and not so crammed in like over on the B loop. It was quiet and everyone was very friendly. We enjoyed the pool and loved the store for daily ice and also beer if we ran out! The store also carries many other items you may have forgotten or need. Prices seemed reasonable and not higher than normal. They also have a laundry facility next to the pool which uses credit cards or even tap to pay! Loved this!! This is a great campground for kayaking/paddle boards and lots of kite surfing going on in the sound. If you prefer the beach you will need to drive 2-3 miles to be beach access. We did so on our bikes but nowhere to lock them up so we didn’t stay ☹️ The other perk of this campground is Tavern on 12 restaurant is located right beside the store. We enjoyed dinner here 3 nights in lieu of cooking! Great staff and food! Highly recommend it also.Last thing to mention is bath houses were clean with 3 toilets and 2 showers. The best part was AC in the bath house! Was nice to shower and put your clean clothes on with breaking into a nice sweat immediately.

Place is well kept. Clean bath houses and laundry facilities. Beautiful sound front location for awesome sunsets. Cabins are well kept, just a basic cabin. May need a mattress topper, foam bedding is very uncomfortable. The campsites are very nice sizes and adequate drainage when there are storms. Nice area for pets with shower for pets nearby. Fish cleaning station..nice campground!

This is by far the best campground in OBX. You're right on the sound and only 5 minutes from ramp 49 to access the beach. The only thing I would say is that the mattresses in the cabins are not comfortable. You will need to bring a topper. Camp spots are decent but can be a little tight on the sound front. Recommend if you're down here.
