RV Rental Kill Devil Hills, NC

The fabled Outer Banks region is legendary for its vast, wide open stretches of white sand beaches, but there are also some amazing forests and parks near town. Jockey’s Ridge State Park is found in Nags Head, the next village to the south, a truly magnificent place to bring your Kill Devil Hills RV rental. This popular park is one of the most visited in the entire state, known for its massive sand dunes that stand tall above both the ocean and the surrounding town. The protected dunes are a vital part of the coastal ecosystem, holding an impressive variety of wildlife in all shapes and sizes. You can even visit the park’s museum for up-to-date information about the natural environment of the Outer Banks.

Even farther south, Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge is one of the several refuges, conservation areas, and other parks used to protect and preserve invaluable grasslands, marshes, swamps, coastal tributaries, and other habitats hosting endangered plants and animals. Hundreds of species of migratory birds call Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge home throughout the year, as it is a much needed and desirable stopping point for them along their yearly migration treks. Birdwatchers and nature photographers will especially appreciate this conservation area when they rent an RV and drive to Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge.

If you feel like getting out of the Outer Banks, Croatan National Forest is a mesmerizing collection of dense, deciduous forests and wetlands that you can visit with your Kill Devil Hills camper rental.

Kill Devil Hills is an exciting place to vacation, yet for most of the year, the population is quite small, with only a core group of people making up the community.

The Wright Brothers National Memorial is by far the most visited feature in both the town and the Outer Banks, known for being the place where Orville and Wilbur Wright first succeeded in flying a powered flying vehicle for the first time in human history.
