Overview

Frisco Woods Campground is a campground on the Pamlico Sound in Frisco, Hatteras Island. It's one of the most popular spots in the area for kitesurfers, as the campground provides direct sound access with a large grassy area for rigging and launching. Several kite schools operate from here. The water in front of the campground is vast, shallow and perfectly flat — ideal conditions for learning. The campground offers tent sites, RV hookups and cabins. It's a gathering place for the Outer Banks kite community.

On the water

Perfect flat water on Pamlico Sound — the dream spot for learning and freestyle. Depth doesn't exceed 3 feet for hundreds of meters from shore. Sandy bottom with seagrass patches. The riding area is very large and rarely crowded. Water is warm in summer (78-86°F). In SW wind, conditions are ultra-flat. The spot is protected from ocean swell by the island.

Hazards

Stingrays present — do the stingray shuffle when walking in the water. Sea nettles (jellyfish) common from June to September. Sharp oyster shells in some areas — water shoes recommended. Violent afternoon thunderstorms possible in summer — exit the water at first signs of lightning. Area shared with beginners and kite school students — ride with caution and keep your distance.
