Ah, camping at the beach.  Sea, sand, sun, brillant sunsets and dark skies.  Swimming, surfing, fishing, clamming, crabbing and evening campfires.  These are the things that memories are made of.  The following information will insure that your camping trip to the seashore is a safe and enjoyable one.

 

There are no established campgrounds or campsites on the barrier islands and few other amenities, such as water pumps or toilets, available within the park's boundaries. You must bring everything you need and take all trash with you.

You may camp for up to 14 consecutive days.

More information on camping is available in our Beach Camping brochure.
