Cape Hatteras National Seashore, Fort Raleigh National Historic Site and Wright Brothers National Memorial are reopening all facilities, except for the Cape Point Campground in Buxton, at normal times on Sunday, Sept. 24, following a temporary closure due to Tropical Storm Ophelia.

Cape Point Campground is flooded and may reopen in the coming days. Reservations and payments for campsites at Cape Hatteras National Seashore’s Oregon Inlet, Frisco, and Ocracoke campgrounds can be made at www.recreation.gov.

Visitors should avoid entering the ocean until conditions improve. Check the daily beach conditions forecast at http://lovethebeachrespecttheocean.com.

Beach drivers should use caution, particularly around the hours of high tide, if attempting to travel along off-road vehicle routes on Hatteras and Ocracoke islands.
