We loved our site 046 oceanside. We enjoyed our 2 day camping trip a lot. We will do it again.

I had a wonderful time camping at Assateague with my dad and nephew in early April. The facilities were clean, and the boardwalk to the beach was cleared of sand, so my dad was able to navigate to the ocean in his wheelchair. We enjoyed ourselves, as always.

If you have a rig vs. tent, chose your site wisely because many put the picnic table on the opposite as your door.

@BarbaraC646329 · Camped on Apr 12, 2025 at Campsite #60

Easy to check in. We stayed on Lot 60 in the Oceanside. Long walk from the car down a boardwalk and up a dune so be prepared- recommend a cart with wheels if you can have one. Bring as much firewood as you can but you can buy more about 10 minutes away. This is a really nice size lot. Not too far from bathrooms and showers. Keep in mind no showere early in the season (before Memorial Day). Will come again (and hope for warmer weather!). Dont go in April! We rented the lot for two nights and went home after the first day due to the cold. Want to come back in warmer weather. Good luck!

@SallyB1355610 · Camped on Apr 9, 2025 at Campsite #A7

We loved camping with the wild ponies! The Visitor Center talks were great and our campsite hosts were great!

@DebraB3515095 · Camped on Apr 4, 2025 at Campsite #17

I have been wanting to come to Assateague for awhile now and i have to sayit is amazing! From coming over the bridge and seeing the wild horses to scoring an oceanside campsiteit was wonderful! We spent some time in Berlin on way in. Cute towngrabbed a great lunch and some cute shops.

@BeckyW5017392 · Camped on Apr 4, 2025 at Campsite #B27

Assateague is a family favorite

@RichardB341941 · Camped on Apr 3, 2025 at Campsite #C45

We camped for 3 nights in site C-45 Bayside at Assateague National Park in early April. We enjoyed camping on the bay side for the first time; earlier trips had all been at the ocean side camp sites. We caught a break on the weather; it was a little chilly but sunny and nice enough to hike and ride bikes each day. And no bugs this early in the year! We really enjoyed our walks on the 3 main trails in the park. There had been significant improvements in both the 'Life of the Marsh' trail and the 'Life of the Woods' Trail since the last time we camped here. And the 'Life of the Dunes' trail was a fun walk, and interesting look at some of the artifacts of the history of Assateague Island before it became a national seashore. We were camping in a 5th wheel camper, so were were quite comfortable camping early in the year when they had not yet turned on the showers, and had no concerns camping in a campground with only vault toilets.The one suggestion I would have for the park would be to add a 2nd spot at the Dump Station / Fresh Water Fill-up station. We had a considerable wait for the dump station on the way out, and we were happy that nobody was in line behind us for the 20 minutes we tied up the Fresh Water Fill-up station on check-in day.

Site was fantastic. Easy check in and out. Great trails and walking paths.

@AnneC8205723 · Camped on Mar 30, 2025 at Campsite #37

Beautiful. Peaceful. We visited off seasonlast 2 days/nights in March. It was windy, chilly but sunny days and clear star filled nights. Our site was amazing, right on the beach. Paved but partially sand covered. Plenty of privacy. Horses here are truly wildwhat a unique experience! Nice easy trails to explore and a long paved 5 mile over the bridge and back path.

@HowardL6973096 · Camped on Mar 30, 2025 at Campsite #A14

I would have given it 5 stars except that the bath room (pit toilet) Was not clean for several days.

@GeorgeV12F0B9D · Camped on Mar 29, 2025 at Campsite #A19

We camped in late March and stayed on both Bayside (for one night) and Oceanside (for three nights). The weather was a mix of cold, wet and beautiful, The park is very well kept, extremely beautiful and a really special place with the ocean, bay, wild ponies, wild turkeys and an unbelievable assortment of birds. The Camp hosts were friendly and very helpful. The Park Rangers were welcoming, kind and extremely knowledgeable . Overall a great time, can't wait to go back!

@EricD4044ADBCE · Camped on Mar 29, 2025 at Campsite #41

Great campsite, would have preferred warm water and lights in the bathrooms. Other than that we had a phenomenal experience.

@HelenM7389753 · Camped on Mar 28, 2025 at Campsite #50

Great site nice spot to put tent that is sheltered. However there is a walking path directly though the site so not so private. Close to the beach but a bit sheltered by dunes.

@KennethP699928 · Camped on Mar 28, 2025 at Campsite #A24

Always enjoy going to Assa Island whether it is the National Or the State Park.

@JenniferS83796 · Camped on Mar 28, 2025 at Campsite #B25

Campground was clean and fellow campers observed quiet hours. Family-friendly and the park is well maintained with great park rangers!

@DavidE7840041 · Camped on Mar 28, 2025 at Campsite #31

For the 1 night stay, the facilities provided were to our expectations+

@MichelleA21452 · Camped on Mar 27, 2025 at Campsite #34

This campground and time of year is just perfect for us!

@RobertW1226972 · Camped on Mar 26, 2025 at Campsite #A23

We really enjoyed our stay at Assateague. Our campsite in the Bayside loop was level and private. The only negative was that the living area was situated on the wrong side. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. We enjoyed biking on the wonderful bike paths and through the campground loops. Seeing the horses was a real treat and all of the boardwalks were amazing. The Visitors Center was also very nice and the displays were very informative.

@CharlesB538317 · Camped on Mar 25, 2025 at Campsite #B35

Just as beautiful as ever

@DeneenD32DFD51 · Camped on Mar 23, 2025 at Campsite #33

This is one of my favorite places in the world. Assateague is not for the feint of heart, though. Be smart about the horses and keep your food put away. We view Assateague camping as a survival exercise. If you want luxury, go somewhere else.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
