Excellent camping experience. The campground was well maintained and clean.

Off-season is the perfect time to enjoy everything as a teek is everything The National Park has to offer. Staff is very friendly and I felt like I had plenty of space and peace.

It was a very nice experience. Just to see these horses and experience it and to see the horses in their own environment was priceless.

Its always fun to stay on Assateague Island. The weather was perfect for August. The only thing to prepare for is the mosquitos. We have been there in November and it was also great.

In September, The park is very peaceful and I was able to get an Oceanside site. I come from local area and enjoy just having a peaceful couple of days. This time it rained and was quite windy. Luckily there are still some local restaurants oben as I usually cook over the campfire. Lots and lots of horses turkeys and deer this time.

Our stay was nice, we were blessed with perfect weather for the weekend. Our campsite was on the bayside loop, which was the only spot we could get, so it was about a 5 minute bike ride to get to the beach. But otherwise the campsite was adequate and clean. Horses wandered through the bayside loop every day which kept things interesting. Our one complaint was the showers. No warm water, so be prepared for a cold shower. And, no lights, so take a flashlight or your iphone if you go in after dark. I don't understand why they can't install a motion activated light. The restroom facilities at the beach had them. Otherwise, we had a great weekend and will definitely return!

We always have a lovely time camping at Assateague, and this weekend was no exception! It's such a beautiful place to spend a weekend. Thank you to the Park Rangers for keeping things so clean and being helpful during our stay.

@AllisonG114920 · Camped on Aug 28, 2025 at Campsite #36

I love coming here. This was my third year coming a row. Its a fun tradition to have! NPS has activities Memorial Day through Labor Day. We prefer the grass campsites over the sand ones. This year we got to see dolphins and be out in the water as they swam past us. For the horse if they come to bully you out of your food, remember they are prey animals and you can startle them away from you. Dont let them bully you. Its a pretty good place for star gazing, the only light pollution is ocean city, which is a crazy amount considering. Even when you are like far down the island at the back country sites along the beach.

We had an amazing 3 days at Assateague. Site 83 is perfectly located on the sand, with some protection from the winds and very close to the restrooms and showers. When they are cleaning the porta potty's it can smell for a 30 minutes or so, but it fades quickly. There is a boardwalk to take you up to the camp site, so only carrying stuff for about 30 feet. The picnic table is big and has storage under with a slide lock it to keep coolers and food safe from the horses. The horses came by our site 2 of the 2 nights. Be sure to bring a good flashlight as the brown horses are hard to see at night and we passed one within a few feet without even realizing it until we turned around to go back as we did see another horse that had white on it. Get there at least an hour before sunset as we got there late and were setting a tent up in the dark and it was super windy -not ideal. We arrived to find someone on at our campsite, but they were leaving the next day. Not really sure what happened there, but it was fine. We had minimal flies even though we had westerly winds the one day. The water had a lot of shells the one days so water shows aren't the worst idea. The next day it was all sand. We had a great time and I would highly recommend. Amazing sunsets and sunrises. We will definitely be back!

My wife and I live New Jersey . We always enjoy our stay and try to get to the island at least once a year.The Camp host were very helpful I never noticed them before.

@AmelieS5B41CC5 · Camped on Aug 24, 2025 at Campsite #88

Such a unique experience! Would definetly recommand and I will surely be back!

@CristinaD36388 · Camped on Aug 23, 2025 at Campsite #4

Amazing experience, super nice NPS staff + volunteers and beautiful landscapes and wildlife. a must-do!!!

@EricD4044ADBCE · Camped on Aug 23, 2025 at Campsite #26

We had the most incredible time, so much space and fun! Definitely want to stay at that site again!

@EdwardW7454945 · Camped on Aug 22, 2025 at Campsite #76

Very nice campsite that's right next to the beach (as in, this campsite is facing the beach with no other campsites in front of it). Didn't use the fire ring to start a campfire, although it appeared to be in good condition. There's an area under the table where you can store food and other belongings that might attract wildlife, although it did have a fair amount of sand in it.I didn't use the showers. Bathrooms seemed to be relatively clean.I also had very weak cellular data at this campsite, although there's decent cellular coverage as you get closer to the entrance area.One note about parking: I did find that the parking lot that came before the parking lot meant for this campsite was closer to this campsite than the designated parking lot.

@DanielM5313297 · Camped on Aug 19, 2025 at Campsite #A12

Awesome beaches, and wild life. Great campground, friendly staff. A wonderful place to visit.

@KirstenC809392 · Camped on Aug 18, 2025 at Campsite #B30

Lovely place but we were very unlucky and got stormed out by Hurricane Erin. The park was just at the top of the reach. Day 1 we got rained out and departed for a hotel. Had soaking wet equipment. Day 2 was clear and we got to go kayaking on the Bay side, which was lovely. Day 3 storms returned and the ocean was terrifying, all the way up to the Boardwalk in Ocean City. We left quickly. That's camping for you. A lovely park, we just had the one bad week.

@YeshaS878A0DC0 · Camped on Aug 17, 2025 at Campsite #61

The site was very nice and clean. Right next to the beach! The horses didnt bother us too much which was nice and because of the wind by the ocean, not as many mosquitos. The bathrooms were a bit more rank than normal but thats a lot bathroom for you. People dont seem to understand youre supposed to close the lid after use. We only stayed one night but wish we could have stayed longer! The beach with wildlife was amazing. The only issue we had was that the people occupying the site next to us kept walking through our campsite and by our tents all night rather than use the corridor.

@DeniseL2073409 · Camped on Aug 16, 2025 at Campsite #C38

The beach is beautiful! It is a pleasure to see the wild horses roaming free. Be prepared for no electricity, pit toilets, and cold showers.

@BenjaminVD8AAF · Camped on Aug 16, 2025 at Campsite #A9

I love the park and camping, a little bit of traffic to get in but honestly compare to other parks it wasnt bad at all

@TejalS1926A2D8 · Camped on Aug 16, 2025 at Campsite #86

This is the 2nd time we are camping here. It was nostalgic as we returned back here after 10 years. We were lucky we got oceanside campsite available at the last minute. Our campsite was number 86. Its a nice site- closer to the parking lot and toilet and a little walk to the beach. The toilets and shower areas were clean. We didnt see any horses come into the campsite at night/ during the day. Would definitely come camp here again next summer. The bugs and mosquitoes were a lot, inspite of using deet bug repellent we still had bug bites. But no complaints about it.

@Lavecchia5AFC5 · Camped on Aug 15, 2025 at Campsite #37

Locd in with the Wilsons had our first visit to Assateague National Seashore Campground and cant wait to come back. We arrived later than expected for a short weekend getaway and were greeted at our campsite by three wild horses grazing in their natural habitat. We stopped and waited patiently as they calmly ate and slowly galloped away. Due to our late arrival we didnt expect to see any horses until the next day. So we were pleasantly surprised and they continued to wander in our campsite throughout the night. We kept our windows opened to hear the ocean waves and feel the breeze through our camper all night, which was so peaceful and serene. We will be posted a video on our channel soon about our experience. Our two night, three day experience was one to remember.

@ChazInSoCal - CA

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.

@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.
