Amazing location. Good facilities. Not a whole lot to do other than the beach and the horses but we keep coming back. Good access to Ocean City.

Our 8th camping trip to Assateague Island National Seashore. This trip was notable because we tried a new camping spot AND we went at a different time of year (Sept vs. June). We had a wonderful time. It was Labor Day Weekend and all of the ponies were out to greet us upon our arrival. Spot 78 was a treat in that it is closer to the ocean than Spot 86, yet still had some privacy with shrubbery and brush. We think that a fox may have lived in that spot too and were treated to their nightly visits. Assateague is a haven for us to escape the 'hustle and bustle' of the DMV, to reconnect to nature, and to enjoy the brilliant sunrises and sunsets.

Fun for me and my 4 year old son! Great views and wonderful wildlife. Brings long steaks for the same! :)

Refreshing experience as a first time camper. Beautiful sceneries, very nice people around, needless to say how exciting to see the wild horses and ponies roaming freely. We had 2 horses visiting us one night around our camp fire, just amazing... Although in April, night time gets chilly and air is damp, sleeping bag surface were damp each morning. All dries up during the day with the sun. Love the seashore, not crowded at all, many options for activities such as hiking, kayaking, biking, clamming, crabbing, or simply sunbathing. My friends were into clamming and they were so excited to be able to pick a full bucket of fresh mussels, not my thing though standing in chilly muddy water no matter what:) Overall, a very memorable trip and absolutely recommend it. I heard most Iquitos are brutal in summer, but in April, no issue.
