Exploring Portsmouth Island of the Outer Banks of North Carolina

[@garretlewis4103]

We have been to Cape Lookout (South Island) twice. Cape Lookout National Seashore is an awesome place for beach camping. We may have to go back and check out the North (Portsmouth) Island. I understand that you can no longer get to Portsmouth village from the north island anymore. Also, to anyone considering this trip. Print off a tide chart and pay attention to it. You don’t want the high tide flooding your camp.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

You are correct. You can not drive to the village.

[@SuperMcabral]

I have camped on every island in the Outer Banks. My most beloved memories!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

The beach definitely make wonderful memories

[@250krawler]

​@CoddiwompleOverland Well that's a shame, maybe it will fill back in one day. Always wanted to go there, mostly to just drive to the village.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Same here.

[@randiD123]

Camped out there twice. Great times! The Morris' are great!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

For sure!

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always Bill and Deb. This was such an incredible place so peaceful you can really slow down and enjoy the day without a care in the world. Thank for letting us ride along with y’all on y’all’s adventures.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thank you for coming along.

[@sempergumbie]

Awesome video Bill! I need to get out there and experience that island!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks! It's definitely worth a visit.

[@kwmulligan]

All of you including your pup, living the best life! ❤ great video!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thank you!

Had gone to Portsmouth for 25 years straight every October and some Aprils to drum fish until hurricane took out the cabins. Have stayed in octagons and square cabins every time. We have gone and caught coolers of fish and other times not a thing. Either way it was always a great time. Looks like they have redone the “Donza Lee”. Wish you could have experienced riding over on the “Green Grass”. That was always a unique experience. You were never sure you were going to make it across, but that old shrimp boat/ferry always made it😂.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Love hearing stories and history about the places we visit. Thanks for watching.

[@cliffrockadventures]

Terrific trip and episode...some well-deserved relaxation!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks!

[@jayclark2119]

Me and the family just got done a few days ago on Cape lookout. But the wind was brutal.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

The wind can be rough.

[@NathanKingOverland]

I love that place. Trying to get back there this summer.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

We really enjoyed it.

[@NonSophisticated]

Few years ago we rented a house in Ocracoke and brought my 14ft Starcraft Jon boat. Motored over to Portsmouth Island and as soon as we hit the beach the flies attacked us.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Yes, they were bad. You definitely have to have bug spray.

[@kimcrater8145]

@@CoddiwompleOverland I am going to Portsmouth in about a month. What kind of bug spray did you find that worked best?

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

We had thermacells and 100% deet

[@adventureoffroadx]

Definitely going to have to check this place out. Thanks for sharing great videos🙌

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

It’s an amazing place. Thanks for watching!

[@RDOverland]

I love the beach trips, except the sand 😊. We do it every summer in Long Island NY. Hanging out by the ocean is very relaxing and having your vehicle with all your essentials is a big plus. You should come out to Long Island one day and try the beaches here. 😊

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

We should do that.

[@mikebaccala5675]

Wish I knew you were this close. I would have come down and met up with you guys.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

That would have been great!

[@usmcmsgt5487]

6:24 i want a hammock chair.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

They are comfy.

[@joeamyrivers]

Are you all Stettin up in Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg this month?

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Yes, we will be inside at the Dan Cummins booth.

[@UOENO757]

I searched all over and dont look like there are any ATV parks out there, thats odd, seems like a perfect place for one.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

You are correct, there aren't any ATV parks out there. And I understand as they want to keeps the dunes and vegetation intact

[@AnthonyMignone-pe2ok]

Looks great we have been to cape lookout we had a great time how was the cell service out there

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

We had good cell service

[@brenttiller117]

Love your videos!! Just a question, I’m interested in the campers y’all pull. Out of the Teton X and the Summit, which are both great, which is your favorite?

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

We love both of these campers. Send us a message to [e-mail] And we will give you a breakdown of both campers. What we like the most in each campers.

[@bennie873]

Beautiful place! One day!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Yes!

[@GetOutBeHappy]

Wow, looks like you had a great trip.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

It was great!

[@beejc1128]

Wow the island has changed a lot since I last went camping out there. There were bathrooms houses and a ranger station you could buy gas from. You could even drive up to the abandoned village and explore. Sad to see that seems to a thing of the past. The ferry even looks smaller than what they used to use. My wife says we can’t go back there until they get the bathhouses going again lol

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

The bath house was still open but that was all

[@RJ-li2xd]

It’s cool for a few hours

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

It's not for everyone, that is for sure.

[@dbascur2]

you have awesome videos.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thank you!! Glad you enjoy them.

[@chadkoller7809]

What would you recommend airing down for a 2500 Chevy? We also have a Intech OVR Expedition that’s 7500 lbs loaded. Would this combination be too heavy to take out there?

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

12 to 15 lbs

[@chadkoller7809]

@@CoddiwompleOverland thank you

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

@chadkoller7809 your welcome

[@WolfOverland]

Hey guys. Can you go all the way to the north end to the old town? 4 years ago the hurricane cut it in half but 2 years ago it was healing back and about 6 feet deep at the middle at low tide.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Yes, it was closed a few days this trip do to the baby birds had hatched and were running all over.

[@buckswindle]

Do you have a link for the ferry service? I’m coming up empty

[@tubesurfer828]

When was the trip?

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

2 weeks ago

[@tubesurfer828]

Gotcha! Looks like fun. Have been to the cape lookout island a couple times. Not to the north.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

We were the same and decided to try this side. It was beautiful.

[@Rockhead81]

I saw you Guys Driving in Nags Head A Few Days Ago if im correct Yewwww 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼 i thought to my self while passing yall infront of the Tanger Outlet Mall they have to have a KZbin Channel With A Vehicle and Camper Decked Out Like That... Enjoy Life 💯🙌🏼

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

[@Rockhead81]

@CoddiwompleOverland wow i could of swarn your jeep ń camper was the one i saw... but im sure as cool as they are there are many many out there like them and weird how your video randomly popped up in my feed but none the less looking forward to yalls Big Trip coming up ✌🏼

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Definitely a few out there that looks like ours.

[@Scomelbasses]

I’m not a beach person. Is this the only thing you can do on the island, just sit there and look at the water? Get in occasionally? Seems boring.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

That's it on this one. However you have lots more to explore on Cape Lookout with the light house, buildings etc.
