About Lazy Days Campground

Campground in North Carolina.

Lazy Days Campground offers a peaceful retreat in Salvo, North Carolina, a charming village located on the Outer Banks' quieter side. This public campground provides the perfect base for travelers seeking authentic coastal experiences away from the hustle and bustle of more crowded tourist destinations.

Salvo's location on Hatteras Island puts you in an ideal spot for exploring the natural beauty of North Carolina's barrier islands. The village itself maintains a relaxed, local atmosphere where you can experience genuine Outer Banks hospitality. The area is known for its pristine beaches, maritime heritage, and abundant opportunities to connect with nature. Whether you're an early riser who wants to catch the sunrise over the Atlantic or someone who prefers quiet evenings watching the sky paint itself in shades of orange and purple, this region delivers.

The Outer Banks have long been celebrated for their unique ecosystem and rich history. Nearby, you'll find Cape Hatteras National Seashore, which protects over 30,000 acres of undeveloped beach and maritime forest. This area is legendary among fishing enthusiasts, water sports lovers, and anyone interested in North Carolina's maritime past. The nearby Diamond Shoals are particularly famous among experienced anglers seeking trophy catches. If you prefer calmer waters, the sound side offers excellent opportunities for kayaking and exploring the intricate waterways that define the region's character.

History buffs will appreciate the area's connection to maritime heritage and exploration. The surrounding islands tell stories of shipwrecks, early aviation pioneers, and generations of fishing families. Many travelers enjoy taking day trips to visit local museums and historic sites that dot the Outer Banks.

Sadly his grandmother passed away so he will be attending the funeral instead. When I called to inform the girl who answered the phone about this, she said you are within the 7 days so we will need to charge your card. A little shocked under the circumstances, so when I asked she told me it was their problem that she passed away and they are a business and that’s their policy. When I asked to speak to the manager she said it doesn’t matter she’ll just tell me the same thing. Very heartless company or their workers are. What she doesn’t know is I have owned a business too and kindness goes a long way. Of course after I got off the phone she charged my card before I could speak to her manager tonight.

This is a campground; well maintained and small with enough space between to feel private. At 75$ it’s a bit more than we are used to but being right at the beach is wonderful! The people seem nice, and the only thing missing seems to be a laundry.

Great campground. Awesome beach access. Relaxed and nice people that work there. Clean facilities, cute little pool to swim in when you are beached out. We will be back!

Came here for the tent campsite, which is the closest to the beach according to my research. Totally was what I imagined, just over the sand bank and you're there.

Main office had games and AC, very welcoming staff. Bathrooms were always clean and void of any odor. Only knitpick is that the restroom stalls had barely enough space between the toilet and door plus some goat heads at the campsite, but those don't stop me from coming back. For sure will recommend to our friends.

Oh my. This place is full of full time seasonal campground. The only way to get Wi-Fi is to go to the office. I had wifi booster and still couldn’t connect to it. Cell zone AT&T was very weak. One bar. No i wouldn’t stay here again. The owner was really nice!

I came to Mooers Forks, NY in July 2018 for what was supposed to be a four month construction job. It's now May 2019 and I'm still here, having endured a brutal, constantly sub zero winter, in a travel trailer with my dog. It was a enjoyable, challenging, unforgettable experience that would not have been possible without Lazy Days Campsites and the awesome owners who accommodated all my request... I came to Mooers Forks, NY in July 2018 for what was supposed to be a four month construction job. It's now May 2019 and I'm still here, having endured a brutal, constantly sub zero winter, in a travel trailer with my dog. It was a enjoyable, challenging, unforgettable experience that would not have been possible without Lazy Days Campsites and the awesome owners who accommodated all my request no matter how strange. Finally spring is here, the park is open, and the campers are returning. Each day we enjoy walking the many ATV trails that pass down by the pond and encircle the perimeter of the park. Camping fees here are incredibly reasonable. There's a great pool, Volleyball, playground and more. The public bathrooms and laundry room are always tidy. There's a spectacularly fun RC car racetrack on site so bring your RC car or buy one of the many Traxxas trucks they have in the shop. Many great events throughout the season to meet your neighbors and entertain the kids. The park owners are constantly improving the property and are an absolute joy to work with. Feels like family. If this construction job ever comes to a close and I get to return to my state of residence it will be bittersweet. Lazy Days Campsites has begun to feel like home. #sonnydingdongs

It is a great place to stay if you are liked by the "in crowd" of the owners. If not, you are harassed and constantly in trouble for things you didn't do, but that is only by the husband. Not personable and seems to feel he is better than everyone. He also thinks he can simply say whatever he wants because he is the owner, but nobody is above others simply because you own it.

If not, you are harassed and constantly in trouble for things you didn't do, but that is only by the husband. Not personable and seems to feel he is better than everyone. He also thinks he can simply say whatever he wants because he is the owner, but nobody is above others simply because you own it. Everyone should still be treated with respect, when respect is given to you. He will yell at you and use profanity if you are drinking an adult beverage while using your golf cart, as he drives around on his golf cart with a beer in hand. And then eventually you aren't welcomed back with no explanation. And if you try asking, he will be extremely rude, not answer, and try to assert his dominance. Hopefully he's nicer to his wife, I'd hate to assume he is like this to all woman. But my own personal experience is all I can speak for. BUT if you make families feel uncomfortable because of how you act around their kids, you can stay. Even with multiple complaints and concerns for your child's safety. But hey, maybe it will change one day. ✌🏻
