I am planning a vacation to the East Coast and wanted to camp/ horseback ride on the beaches. Is the outer banks crowded in August? Is it a good place to be camping at? Is there any other advice you can give me or possibly other beaches to camp on along the east coast?
Answer
You won't find a less crowded beach anywhere on the east coast than Hatteras Island of the Outer Banks. You can camp at Oregon Inlet Campground and Frisco Campground operated by the National Park Service (NPS). They are in the National Seashore right on the beach. There are small towns along the Island with private campgrounds, but for the true Outer Banks experience go with the NPS. Other advice, yeah, tie down your tent real good the wind can blow pretty hard down there, even in August. But it will be worth it just for the experience. Heck, the Outer Banks is a place you have to make a special effort to get to, it's way out of the way from anywhere. lol Take the free ferry over to Ocracoke Island while you're there. It's relaxing and hey, it's where Blackbeard used to hang out. Climb the Hatteras lighthouse too. Check out the Chicamacomico lifesaving station in Rodanthe. Don't miss the 'Serandipity'. The 'Nights In Rodanthe' house. Have fun.

Answer
You should go to the Outer Banks... there are several state parks to camp at.. make reservations if you can.. if you can't there's private campgrounds (full of fat, lazy tourists in RVs blaring television and generators all night long) but they suck..
the best places are on Cape Hatteras Island: the oregon inlet (on the north side) and cape point (on the southern end) and Ocracoke Island with it's own campground..
there are tons of sand dunes.. and hiking trails... they are so beautiful and most of them are protected from the wheels of a vehicle tearing them apart...
have fun!
