Do you know about the Northwest River Camping Platforms?
For the true adventurer, Currituck County offers free, reservable camping platforms along the Northwest River, designed specifically for paddlers, with a cluster of three platforms located roughly 2 miles by water from the Shingle Landing boat ramp. These elevated platforms provide a rustic, nature-focused experience in the swamp and marsh environments of the Northwest River. **Please note you must paddle out to the camp site. Camp sites do not offer any running water or bathroom facilities. There is no fee to camp, but reservations are required. Call Currituck County Parks and Recreation at 252-232-3007 for more information. https://northernouterbanks.com/camping-in-currituck-county/
