That is a great place to camp and some of the best fishing you will find anywhere. Your setup seems perfect for a few days on Cape Lookout. The only negative is the having to plan around the ferry but well worth the effort.

Did you run across the parking area with the vehicles people leave out there? There are some pretty interesting setups people have out there and you can leave them on the island for most of the year. I saw an old bread truck one time with oversized tires. (It was glorious)

I saw what looked like an old ice cream truck on decent tires. Some of those vehicles looked like they had been on that island for decades.

Yeah for sure.

It’s hot, like really hot, especially this time of year. We forgot the beach umbrella which would have helped us with shade anytime of day. The small awning we have was good but since the Jeep was stationary we were at the mercy of the time of day. Exposure/heat can be a serious thing and we managed ok. That being said, take tons of sunscreen, luckily we had enough.

My 12V fridge Crapped out a few days prior to the trip so we didn’t have enough time to replace it. We took 3 coolers: a brand new yeti, and 2 cheap Coleman. We wouldn’t have had enough ice to last another day but made it ok. Of course take lots of water.

Pack out what you pack in so make sure you have a good means to store your garbage and transport it outside your vehicle as it gets quite rank after sitting in the sun for a few days.

A brush to help get sand of your feet/legs before you get into your tent. Luckily we had my 16G water tank/pump/hose which worked nicely.

We camped on both the outer bank side and moved around past the southern tip where it was calmer water. We had pool noodles to be able to float in the water and cool off, so a floatable would be a nice thing to have.

Bring lots of firewood. We have a no-trace firepit which worked well.

If I can think of anything else I’ll you know.

I've been having to drive it to work this week, since my POFS work-issued Tacoma is at the dealership since last Friday with some major electrical issues (for the 2nd time)...Hoping the company just axes that POFS and gets me a new Chevy 1500 crew cab like everyone else has...

I'm an on-site project manager/Inspector for a private engineering firm that does a lot of FAA & DOT projects. I took these on the runway at work today... A runway that I was in charge of overseeing the paving ops on, which has been proven with a Profilograph to be one of the smoothest and most level runways in Alabama...Maybe the whole SouthEast. Now we're back 6 months later for Phase II of the runway, to extend another 1,000+ feet and do MASSIVE amounts of dirt work, completely reshaping the entire area...It's going to be a 2 year project, if that tells you how big this is going to be.

Went camping with my son for 5 days up the coast from LA...hit Monterey, Salinas, Hollister Hills OHV, Silicon Valley, SF, and Marin Co. Hollister Hills Upper Ranch had some of the best and hardest trails I've seen in CA... loads of fun and a great trip
