Great Island Cabin

Great Island Cabin Camp on South Core Banks offers 23 rustic beachfront cabins (sleeping 4-12 people) accessible only by vehicle ferry or personal boat, making it ideal for anglers and paddlers seeking a remote barrier island experience.

Each cabin includes a private bathroom, hot water, propane kitchen, and outdoor grill, though visitors must supply their own generator for electricity and bring all linens, bedding, and food.

The location provides direct access to 56 miles of undeveloped beaches and 112 miles of shoreline for world-class spring/fall fishing, kayaking, and paddling, plus an ORV Beach Driving Permit is required for vehicle use on the island's unpaved roads.
