Overland trip to the North Carolina Outer Banks,
Saharan Dust storm made for some beautiful sunrises and
sunsets. (aerial footage shot by permit only)
Cape Lookout is a beautiful and remote barrier island that offers a unique camping experience. The island is accessible only by ferry or private boat, and there are no roads or paved parking lots. This makes it an ideal location for overlanders who enjoy primitive camping, exploring, and fishing. The island has four campgrounds that offer campsites with picnic tables, fire rings, and nearby restrooms.

We did an East Coast trip couple of years ago. Last year was our Mid-West overland trip. Thinkin' about doing the East Coast up and down again. Thanks for the vid, helping us plan out some serious spots :-P Keep on Keepin' On!

Nice video! We want to do this someday soon. I’m looking to get a rack and tent on my supercab F150. Seeing that sunset and sunrise must have been incredible. Thanks for sharing

When did you go? June 2020 I assume? I'm planning on going in a week and I can't decide between Portsmouth and cape lookout.. I want sort of a secluded experience

@TennesseeOffGrid1 2 года назад

Awesome video. What part of east Tn you from I’m in Johnson city. I so want to take my family here was it hard getting everything lined up? How much does cost? How much was the ferry ride?

@tomkelly3896 Год назад

Nice

@msfitoyfactory4692 Год назад

Amazing! What month of the year was this taken? I am planning a trip there...thanks!

@bailhonda Год назад

Early June

@ThePassportPapi 3 года назад

Also, what part of the island is that where you have water on both sides where you took that pic? It possible to camp there?

@bailhonda 3 года назад

This is cape lookout, June of 2020 was trip date. The southern Portion has water both sides be aware of the tide line camping there. Portsmouth Island is also a good choice both places usually you don't have anyone within a half mile or more to you. Plenty of room to be away from people

@@bailhonda How are the conditions in PI? I'm hearing the wind is a lot worst there as well as the bugs. This would be my first time doing any beach camping and anything like this sort of trip

@bailhonda 3 года назад

@@ThePassportPapi Both are worse on PI, Wind is there on both, there are some fairly good dunes on lookout that provide some shelter

@Oooweee440 2 года назад

So if u need to take a dump where would you go, genuinely curious because im planing on beach camping.

@percyjackson2800 2 года назад

The ocean, bucket, hole in the ground, bag, portable toilet, diaper, public restrooms.

@greendragon3512 3 года назад

I would love to take my wife there

@mirroredsouls888 4 года назад

Great video, we are trying to get down there but this covid is making it difficult. We have never been on the beach with the Tacoma, can you give us some info on where to start as far as access to the beach?

@bailhonda 4 года назад

Cape lookout Cabins and Camps run this ferry service, there is one more, but not familiar with it. once you get off the ferry you check in and get a sticker and then just follow the roads till you hit beach. Air down to about 20psi and 4 high 2nd gear worked perfect...you will only get 6 or 7 mpg as the sand is fairly deep. You need to reserve the ferry in advance, theres water on the island and rumored you can get fuel there. supplies can be brought over on the ferry, I saw them bringing some groceries to some of the campers. The only stops we made were for fuel. we wear masks anytime we have to be near others and just be cautious. definitely a trip you need to do.

@JPSnyder1985 3 года назад

Great Video! I subscribed. When you took the Ferry there in Davis NC. Were you able to pretty well go and overland wherever? I see below you mentioned there is about 20 miles of area. Did you have to reserve or pay anything in advance to camp there? Are there any restrictions of limit of time camping there in days?

@bailhonda 3 года назад

It's fair game just stay on trails and off the dunes once you're on the island. Part of the ferry charges go towards the park fees. All paid once you pay for the ferry

@JPSnyder1985 3 года назад

@@bailhonda Thank you very much for the information. I look forward to more of your videos!

@Treetopflyer777 7 месяцев назад

Beautiful!! What time of year did you go and when do you recommend is the best time?

@bailhonda 7 месяцев назад

I went in June. May through August is the best time, just be prepared, it gets windy there, if you watch the forecast you can sometimes get a lower wind timeframe.

@Treetopflyer777 7 месяцев назад

@@bailhonda thx. I’d be driving from Canada so I’d have to book this trip well in advance and just take what I get I think…

@HannahSpreadingLove 3 года назад

Where were you able to camp on the actual beach? I’ve looked into campgrounds but havnt found anything where you can actual camp on the beach.

@bailhonda 3 года назад

theres 20 miles of beach here to camp on, you have to take a ferry, and its 4x4 recommended.

@redman2751 3 года назад

@@bailhonda I live in Wilmington. In the winter months you can camp on fort fisher here by Wilmington. The outer banks has several places you can camp including the Portsmouth island in this video and the south core island. Both are very remote and have to take a ferry to get to them. Great experience for both though.
