The week prior to our Outer Banks vacation, Hatteras Island went completely dark due to an accidental power outage. We cherish our time on the island every year, so we were pretty upset along with thousands of others. I scrambled quickly to find a campground north of Hatteras and the pickings were pretty slim. Most of them were either not dog friendly or booked. I was so glad I remembered OBX Campground in Colington, where my dad had stayed the year prior. I just knew they wouldn’t have availability, but to my surprise, they did! We had a backup plan and were able to cancel with refund at the original place we were going to stay on Hatteras. We were SO lucky as others lost their vacations completely with no refund. I pray for those who lost their hard-earned vacation investment and for the business owners and residents who lost income during the busy tourist season.

Our week was mostly rain and thunderstorms, but I won’t complain one bit. We had a few days of sunshine and made some great memories; including Willys’ first beach swim! We also highly recommend OBX Campground if you’re an RV owner. The owners are so friendly and the grounds are immaculate. It’s also super peaceful and not a bustling, crowded place. Deer roamed around nightly and the canal dock was tranquil. We will definitely go back!
