This ramp is the closest to the Ocracoke Campground, providing year-round pedestrian access via a sandy path leading from the end of the parking lot to the vehicle ramp, as well as a vehicle access via a ramp that starts adjacent to the parking lot. The vehicle ramp provides seasonal (October 15 to April 14) off-road vehicle access to the beach in front of the Ocracoke Campground. The large parking lot provides ample space for those wanting to experience the beaches by foot or travel in a group.
