This Land, Your Land

The National Park Service has announced a 25 percent discount on Cape Lookout National Seashore's rental cabins this summer.

The discount will be offered from June 1 through August 30 on rates for the Great Island Cabin Camp (on South Core Banks across from Davis) and Long Point Cabin Camp (on North Core Banks across from Atlantic), a news release says.

Grand Island rates run from $54 to $168 per night, depending on the cabin. Long Point rates run from $84 to $145.

The discount applies automatically reservations already made for the time period.

Each cabin has bunk beds, a bathroom with shower, hot and cold running water, and a gas stove. Visitors must furnish their own cooking and eating utensils, linens, and ice chests. (There are no refrigerators.) Some cabins have electricity; at others visitors may bring their own generator or other light source.

Pets are not permitted in the cabins.

Phone numbers for reservations are at either link above. The NPS page has ferry information.
