If you only camp once in your life, make it Cedar Island Ranch. Here, you can ride a horse along miles of undeveloped beach that hasn’t changed since long before the Spanish explorers set eyes on it. Rent kayaks or canoes, go fishing or have a romantic weekend on the beach. We’re open year-round for your vision of a family vacation paradise or a perfect honeymoon where we offer RV sites, Suites, Tent sites, Dock side sites and renovated Motel rooms..
We’ve got everything you need for an unequaled coastal experience right here. The Cedar Island Ferry terminal to Ocracoke Island and on to Cape Hatteras is right at our doorstep. You’ll have free Wi-Fi, clean bathroom facilities, and an enthusiastic, knowledgeable staff to help. Bring your boat and enjoy the convenience of having your boat next to your campsite by reserving one of our dock side sites. We have a private ramp and a state ramp into deep water and Atlantic access.
My family and I stayed at the Cedar Island Ranch following our visit to Ocracoke Island on a trip for our mom’s 50th birthday. We found the hotel staff to be very accommodating and friendly. Our room had two bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen and it was all very neat and clean. The location with its proximity to the ferry and the ocean views were really nice too. The highlight of our trip was absolutely the sunset horseback ride with Jeremy as our guide. He was charismatic and very knowledgeable about the horses. Overall, it was a great stay, an awesome oceanside view, and a memorable experience riding horses on the beach with an excellent tour guide. Would absolutely recommend a stay here to anyone visiting the Outer Banks!
Adoreably renovated motel rooms, quiet and restful, clean and wonderful staff. They have carefully brought life back to a place that was abandoned for years. Would definitely recommend.
Stayed in the pet friendly king motel room. There was a pet pack just for the pup and a fresh, clean scent throughout the room. It is obvious the owner cared about the renovations with well handmade shelving and a well maintained bath.
This place is a hidden gem! We stayed in the hotel and were absolutely delighted with it. Bed was comfortable, room was clean, and the AC was wonderful, and very quiet in September after Labor Day! The staff was very pleasant and helpful! The fishing was great, the location was great, it was very cool to walk a very short distance to take the ferry to Okracoke Island for a day trip! Definitely won’t be our last trip there!!! It’s pretty remote so take some food and a method to cook it in the parking lot, a grill and a flat top worked great for us!!!! To the staff, after hearing some negative feedback from earlier, we are absolutely delighted and will be back!
We stayed here for the Pirate Jamboree on Ocracoke - was very convenient, right at the ferry station. This was one of our favorite spots we’ve ever camped. We were in lot 4 and could see sunrise every day out our back window. Only negative was bugs - but mostly flies and gnats. Not unbearable, but you can tell there are stables nearby. Overall a wonderful place!
Completely enjoyed our stay in a suite, the camping and RV looked nice with full hookups and the bathrooms and showers were well kept in that area. I really enjoyed the horseback riding and touring the feral horses and cows and riding on the beach. The room was excellent and apparent that new investment is doing a fantastic job!
