Id rate it as superb. From the facilities to the staff. They are very warm, welcoming and informative. This is my second time camping here and will certainly be coming back in the near future

The rangers were so helpful and really nice! We stayed in several areas of Assateague which was a fun experience. The morning walks with the sunrise are gorgeous. We can’t wait to go back!

We love this place ??Snow sleds are your friend for bringing your gear across the soft sand.

First time I've ever woken up with a view of the surf while tent camping. Great fun and a very short walk to the water.

Campsite was beautiful! We had near perfect weather, saw horses and enjoyed a beach day. The facilities were clean. The campsite (Oceanside 076) is a bit of the walk from the parking lot and we had three kids under 7 with us but it was doable as long as you were willing to take a couple of trips back to the car ;)

The walk in oceanside campsites were absolutely beautiful and fellow campers friendly. Horses were hanging around camp and the beach which was amazing. You really have your own private piece of beach. The bathrooms were relatively close and clean. We had heard a lot of people warn us about bugs but besides some biting black flies one day, we didn't have any problems. If we go again, I would DEFINITELY bring a wagon to cart all the camping gear from the car to the campsite which was a lot of work by hand.

Most beautiful campsite on a pristine beach. So grateful for the National Park Service!

When we first arrived, the bathrooms were appalling- perhaps because it was a monday and that weekend had been extra busy but regardless, in the heat of summer, the stench was just too strong. The next day, they finally cleaned the bathrooms and were much more useable. Other than that, this campsite was absolutely breathtaking. Camping by the beach is a unique experience that I would recommend to everyone. Our campsites were the farthest from the parking space, and it was such a struggle to bring all of our stuff, but it was so worth waking up to the sounds of the beach.

It was beautiful as usual! I did notice people running on the vegetated dunes, which I don't think you are supposed to. The police were there once each evening which kept noise in check. We did notice a lot of raccoon tracks all over our campsite in the mornings but our food was put away. The bathrooms got very disgusting at night but were cleaned promptly in the morning.

What a gorgeous place. If you are fit and a minimalist camper the walk-in beach camping is amazing. It’s a slice of heaven surrounded by dunes, listening to the surf hit the beach, enjoying the fearless pony’s who WILL check out your campsite for goodies (just step away and enjoy them from a distance and don’t leave goodies out for them to steal). We will definitely be returning- but we are not fit and not minimalist, so next time we’ll camp at a drive-in spot. ??
