Our late October visit was well timed with very few people on the beach, nice day and night temperatures, and an amazing night sky.

Great weather last week. Horses everywhere, seca deer singing, mockingbird serenade daily. Ocean beach walks, bayside sunset. Sun festival in Ocean City was awesome. Great friends, campfires, a fantastic time!A favorite spot for us!

We visited during the shutdown. It was a bit confusing to find the national side of the camping area and we tried the state park office first. They were kind and gave us a map to find the correct camping area. The beach is beautiful and horses walked through in the morning. Definitely do not leave food or drinks outside unattended. The surf is rough and there is a drop-off just beyond the beach. Not a beach for Littles to play in the waves. We saw several adults wearing life vests while enjoying the beach and they stayed out of the water entirely. Lots of unleashed dogs! Perhaps folks were taking advantage of less personnel during shutdown. Bring your bikes because there are plenty of level paved areas. Mind the wild horses and give them space! Most of them just graze past but there was one larger horse that seemed agitated, was neighing alot and running about the camp area. If he charged, it isn't easy to get away. Overall I loved Assateague!

Be aware that after rainfall or during humid seasons some camping sites and the access paths located behind the dunes are flooded by water gathering/surfacing in the lower terrain. If not covered by pools of water, the sand is very wet and not practical/comfortable for camping.

Great stay at the national Seashore - bayside camping area!Sites were well spaced and while us and others ran our generators at times it was still a very good experience with the quiet nights and dark skies to see the stars!! Dump station was easy to access at the end of our stay as well as some potable water as well - stayed in our 5th wheel. Missed the opportunity to buy some swag as the with the shut down the ranger station was closed but not to worry we will be back next season!!! Thank you for a great property!!

Best campground with the best sunrises you will find on the East Coast! Clean and well maintained. Kudos to the men and women of the National Parks Service who make this place the treasure that it is!
@BrianK7953567 · Camped on Oct 17, 2025 at Campsite #36
Nice simple sites at Oceanside campground. Rapid beach access is excllent.
@MarekB80414848 · Camped on Oct 16, 2025 at Campsite #6
Assateague is my favorite place. Everybody should visit it at list once.
@DavidW7736336 · Camped on Oct 13, 2025 at Campsite #B25
Bring some extra ropes/stakes,; it can be breezy.The night sky tends to be much clearer than in rural New York.
@FrankS4577331 · Camped on Oct 13, 2025 at Campsite #A15
Boardwalk trails very nice.
@DanielE7671140 · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #20
Bucket list National SeashoreDry camping at its best, there are two oceanside loops with paved sites that allow restricted generator use and several bay side loops with no generators allowed. There are also several loops of walk-in sites. All loops have a number of large sites, and we easily fit our 45 and toad on site 20.Disclosure, you may have a site 100 yards from the ocean, but the protective dunes shelter you from the winds and block your oceanfront view. Many of the bay side sites have excellent views.The wild horses roam freely, and you will see them frequently during the day.Great bike riding if you dont mind head/tail winds!We had an excellent dinner at Blacksmith in Berlin, and picked up dockside fresh seafood at Sea Born Seafood in Ocean City.

Great park! We got lucky with the weather and time of year.
@HarveyC89AD335 · Camped on Oct 5, 2025 at Campsite #54
It was amazing. View was perfect and as described. Awesome experience.
@DeniseC4760999 · Camped on Oct 4, 2025 at Campsite #6
Our family had an amazing experience with the oceanside camping at Assateague! Beautiful views, direct beach access, spacious sites, short distance to restrooms/showers, & all around pure outdoor relaxation! We look forward to our next camping trip w/the kiddos!
@PrasadK2A19245 · Camped on Oct 4, 2025 at Campsite #A4
Campsite was well maintained with space comfortably for one 4 person tent. Keep in mind that toilets are pit-style and there is no running water. There appeared to be a shower, but did not look like a good option. Enjoyed being near the beach, and saw ponies on the campgrounds.
@ChrisV1496137 · Camped on Oct 3, 2025 at Campsite #57
Just a big thank you to the handful of rangers who were on hand during the shut down...thank you for keeping everything clean and orderly!
@Charlotte28400 · Camped on Oct 3, 2025 at Campsite #A24
Perfect spot. Great access to the beach. We saw so many beautiful wild horses and birds. Wonderful spot for walking and biking. We went in October.
@KarenD6822172 · Camped on Sep 30, 2025 at Campsite #9
Beach camping can be thrilling, exhausting, terrifying. Sand. Wind. The struggle is real. But the rewards wild ponies, dolphins, friendly neighbors having the same experiences trying to get the freaking tent up is well worth it. We were at Oceanside #9 which is convenient to boardwalk, overlook, water and toilets. Site is well-maintained. We will keep coming back.
@JEFFERYH781231 · Camped on Sep 30, 2025 at Campsite #C46
Our eight day stay passed too quickly, but that is what happens when surrounded by beauty. We live full-time in our rig. If our wanderings bring us close to this part of the country, we will most certainly stay again.
@BrianS9986332 · Camped on Sep 29, 2025 at Campsite #30
Always a great time. Ponies everywhere!
@LisaT8225675 · Camped on Sep 29, 2025 at Campsite #C40
Beautiful campground. In the fall the ponies are on the bay side, dont let them scare you if you must use facilities in middle of night! Beach is beautiful, bike path was enjoyed.
@LaurenK5041150 · Camped on Sep 28, 2025 at Campsite #51
We had a lot of fun, it wasnt too far of a walk to the Oceanside campsite. The bugs werent too terrible except for like in the marshy sections. Didnt have any issues with the ponies being nosey or anything.
@MelindaV672178 · Camped on Sep 28, 2025 at Campsite #97
This park is wonderful. Check-in was straightforward and easy, as was navigating to our beach tent site. The toilets were well-maintained, and it appeared that the showers were too, but we didn't stay long enough to use them. The horses woke me up around 3 in the morning, but they didn't bother us or our stuff. My only complaint is the people driving through the park who stop in the middle of the road to take photos of the horses. Please be considerate and pull over to let others go by.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

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.
