Jim,

Thanks. Got any suggestions on the neatest Islands etc. We thought about starting on the northern end and work our way south as the week progresses. Any thoughts?

G..

Lately i'v had the urge to camp on the beach (and i'v always hated the beach) have any more input as to where you ended up camping?

How were the mosquito's and Greenheads?

OBX would be much easier on my bank account than Baja...

Pics?

John,

I had some tell me you could camp on the beach. We did not find that to be true. There are four national campgrounds on the islands. We stayed at three of them. I don't remember the names of the campgrounds but the second campground from the bottom of the islands was a great site. We went in May before the bugs were bad. I have heard terrible things about the greenheads. OBX is a great place, we want to do it again. I don't know if you used the citronela candles, torches, etc if you could escape the greenheads or not. The beaches should not be crowded now, the kids are back in school. There is one island south of Okracoke that has no roads, but the ferries go there. You may be able to camp there. You could call and find out. If we go back we are going to check on that island.

That island is cedar island. There is no beach camping there either. I just got back from the outerbanks a few days ago. It was a really great area. Wish i had another week so I could have got in some diving and fishing.

So no beach camping in the outer banks....and none in VA area either.

I need to stop reading Baja threads...or find an empty navigators seat with someone eventually. :smiley_drive:

Thanks guys..
