This year, there are zero.
Ominous signs on the economy abound, and this is a big one, I think.
We've camped at the Outer Banks every year since 2014, and this is the emptiest I've ever seen it. Usually you have to make reservations over a year in advance, and this year, about 30% of the spots are empty, and they asked us if we wanted to extend our stay a night or two at a discount.
