Electric and water services are now available at 23 of the camping sites at Oregon Inlet Campground.

During winter 2019, seashore staff will complete installation of electricity and water at another 24 sites for a total of 47 sites that will provide water and electric services.

National seashore superintendent David Hallac said “These amenities help to meet the desires of today’s park visitors and provide a quieter camping experience for RV and tent campers by reducing campground noise that is present when generators are used. Our staff has made excellent progress on this project.”
