Nice place to stay. Would stay again. Just beware they charge $50 on pet fee's and their website clearly said $25 for cottages. No refund given for that. But other than that nice experience
My wife and I came here for our Honeymoon and after an initial miscommunication entirely on our end they were able to accommodate and salvage what could have been a very disappointing situation. They literally saved my Honeymoon and made my bride a very happy new wife indeed! 1 million stars...and a half
In a great location. We stayed in a cottage. Room was clean. Bathroom facilities were clean. The woman at the front desk (I think her name was Cassandra, but I could be wrong) was helpful and friendly.
Only downside is the cottages are super close together and the neighbors that came for the weekend took up two cottages and they were obnoxiously loud until midnight.
Did not like the fact that there are cockroaches. Talked to the gentleman at the front desk advising we were checking out early due to the cockroaches. He said they spend thousands of dollars every year but can not get rod of all of them. Also when we got there i tries to rent linens since they advertised on their website they have them for rent. We was able to get sheets, toewels and wash clothes but they did not have blankets. We had to go to the dollar store to buy blankets. Over all would not stay there again. They do not offer any type of refunds. I did purchase travel ins so hopefully i get some money back since i paid for to stay from Saturday to Saturday and left of tuesday. I had 2 people traveling with me that have been allgery tested and tested positive for allergy to cockroaches.
Clean and well maintained property. The a/c was on and the cottage very comfortable. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

The entry into the cabins and circular driveway riddled with huge potholes and seriously needs to be addressed. Staff is awesome, room was clean, didnt use pool to many kids.
I cannot say enough great things about this campground! The staff was friendly and helpful. Bathrooms were incredibly clean. The cottage was perfect for our needs. We loved our stay and totally recommend Hatteras Sands!
This was our second stay at Hatteras Sands and I cannot praise this group enough. The cabins are camping cabins, no luxury cabins but comfortable none the less! We had an incredible experience from start to finish. Cassandra (I’m so sorry if I messed up your name!) was at the desk whenever we checked in, right as the car we were driving was breaking down. We had driven 420+ miles to get to Hatteras Village and I was nearly hysterical about being stranded. She went above and beyond to ensure I felt safe, secure and do my best to enjoy our vacation. The campground is well maintained and the community cannot be matched. If you stay, you’ve got to try Harbor House Seafood (shrimp boil!) and Dancing Turtle Coffee shop. The campground is within walking distance to the major attractions at Hatteras Village, so while we were unable to drive our car, we still could enjoy the OBX. Thank you all again!
