Camping
Knotts Island is a tranquil, rural getaway nestled in the Currituck Sound — perfect for outdoorsy folks looking to escape the crowds. Marshlands, waterways, and wildlife-draped vistas define the atmosphere. It offers excellent fishing and birding and some of Northeastern North Carolina’s most peaceful water-side camping. Whether you’re RVing with full hookups, cozying up in a tent, or staying in a cabin, you’ll wake up to birdsong, sunset hues over the Sound and calm, peaceful nights under the stars. A free ferry connects the island to mainland Currituck, making it accessible while feeling secluded.
