Walk-in camp site #062 is a beautiful spot, somewhat out of the wind, with a most engaging resident racoon, who lives there full time and exacts food tariffs on all visitors.

Love camping here. Beautiful beach, horses and lots of other great wildlife. And the bathrooms are very clean. Looking forward to our next camping trip at Assateague.

Most beautiful place to camp on the east coast. Wake up to an amazing sunrise and fall asleep to the sounds of the waves crashing onto the beach. The island does have wild horses as well as raccoon, deer and other wild life so proper food storage is key at all times so we don’t hurt the wildlife who actually live here. They made all of this really easy with the storage compartments under the picnic table provided or just as easy keep everything in your car. I’ve never had a problem and having the wildlife makes it that much more of a better experience. Definitely in the summer months bring bug spray and a canopy for some shade from the sun as well as very long tent stakes due to it being windy at times. ocean city is a quick drive and has something for anyone to enjoy. You won’t regret taking a trip to assateague island national seashore, round up the family and friends and go make some memories you won’t forget on Maryland’s eastern shore.

We have camped "Oceanside" several times. This was our first "Bayside" camping trip. The mosquitoes were...........thriving to say the least. We even ended our trip a day early because we couldn't get beyond the bloodsuckers (we're two adults and one dog.) I cannot imagine how bad this experience could have been if we had kids with us. Even with a campfire, citronella candles, heavy deet.... these things persevered. Though there were mosquitoes on the "Oceanside" campgrounds, they'll never compare to what we experienced in just 10 hours whilst camping "Bayside" ---take heed!

Beautiful beach and clean facilities! We loved our visit. The only downside was the sand at just our camp site (#62) was sand which appeared to have had a TON of charcoal mixed into it. The sand was very dark and was staining the kids' feet and hands...So that made me uneasy. We will be back - just a different site!

Beautiful as always. This campsite is larger than the others. Semi private. Surrounded by trees and bushes. Watch out for raccoons day and night. Do not leave food out. The only thing we didn’t like about this campsite was the dirty sand that most likely comes from the ashes of the firepit

watch out for the raccoons!

I stayed at spot 62. It's back off the beach and secluded but its sheltered from the the wind a bit. The facilities are basic. Fire pit with grill and picnic table. The table does have a space under it to store food that can be closed off from the horses. Not listed on the site but they do have cold showers. It was a really good time. It was the first family camping trip. Got some nice shots of the Milky Way as well.

Great time!

Having to keep our food in the car (as advised by the ranger) while staying in a walk in site as a family of four was a bit difficult. It was constant schlepping of stuff back and forth. But the site was nice, the area is beautiful. The bathrooms were very clean! The beach is stunning and the trails were lovely. Next time we will bring our bikes!
