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.

very difficult to get a reservations. too much demand, but then there are many sites not occupied while visiting. i believe reservation system needs to get better for cancellations and enabling re-booking of the sites. also i believe recycling should be easier. so much is just thrown away. hopefully, the recyclables gets picked out at a transfer station.

I love going camping here. Camping beach side was beautiful, but the sand in everything was a little bit much. Overall great trip.

My only negative comment would be the entrance gate. There should be a separate lane for cars who have already paid for their pass. Other than that, our family have an absolutely wonderful vacation camping on the beach! The toilet and shower facilities were clean. The campsites were spaced far apart for seclusion. The beach and horses were amazing! We are already planning our vacation on Assateague for next year. If you haven't yet visited this piece of paradise, I highly recommend a trip to where the horses run wild on the sand.

Renting bicycles was easy and fun! Great people!
