The weather was great. Saw a bunch of horses. Parked on the road and camped on the beach. Had a nice fire in the fire ring. Went swimming in the ocean. I love coming here. We do it three or four times a year. I tell people about it all the time.

The beach is really nice at Assateague and was warm enough to swim in in mid-October. The stars were brilliant at night too. The under-table horse-proof storage is a nice feature. Just be warned that raccoons can reach through the slats and make off with food. They can even open a bin that's in the under-table storage so do as recommended and put a strap around your bins and coolers that you store in there. (We learned the hard way.) The raccoons also seem to like footwear. They dragged off my son's sandals twice, ate through the strap on my daughter's crocs, and delivered a flip-flop to us from another site. Anyway, great trip.

This was our third time to Assateague and the beach is a beautiful place to spend time. This site however, as the last reviewer said, had more mosquitoes than we have ever encountered at the campsites. It was enough to make the experience quite unpleasant and required immediate application of bug spray head to toe every time you left the tent or returned from the beach. Maybe we got unlucky (but it had been quite dry), but we'll avoid this site in the future.

We go to Assateague every year (twice a year!) and really enjoy it. There are always mosquitos at the park, and we know how to manage them accordingly. However, this year our campsite was so overrun with mosquitos we could not even be at the site. I'm talking hundreds, if not thousands. Even fully clothed head to toe in multiple layers with DEET spray on I still had about 3 dozen bites after one night. We spent our entire time there on the beach. Going back to the site only to grab food, wood, or to dash into our tents for the night. (And yes, the tents were also full of mosquitos) We've never left early in almost 10 years of visiting this park, but we left a night early because we were so miserable. I think there was standing water under our picnic table. I won't be dissuaded from going in the future, but definitely stay away from any sites in the 70s as they are mosquito heaven and truly unlivable. ESPECIALLY site 71.

We had a wonderful experience at the walk-in beach side sites! The latrines and showers were very clean, water spigot was very convenient to use. We stayed on the grassy side nearer to the parking lot and it was easy to pull a wagon to and from the car to load and unload. The rangers were warm and inviting, except to the people breaking the rules and trying to feed the wild horses! I loved camping here!
