As never been to Assateague Island, I was unaware of the fact that you must climb a huge sand dune in order to camp oceanside. A lot of exhausting trips to get gear to spot. Standard wagons/ wheels do not work. Very windy, cold (especially at night) even in 95 degree days. Very pretty, but hard to see horses unless in the right spot at the right time. Site 056 Oceanside. Our other group had a good time bayside, but please be aware the bugs/ticks are horrible and it was very warm. Minimal air flow. Site B28 Bayside

Cobbled together a 4 night stay in 3 adjacent campsites. Site 56, 52 and 54. I had last been camping here about 15 years ago and the sites are very small with less privacy compared to what they used to be, however, it's still an absolutely lovely place to spend a beach trip. Site 54 sat at a high spot on the dune with 56 just slightly to the right side and site 52 to the left side and in front of 54. One of the picnic table latches was completely out of alignment and couldn't be used to secure food. I was fortunate to have taken a latched trunk.

Beautiful site, camp ground, and park. The filtered water was turned off April 20 weekend near our site. No firewood in the park- we bought some at the closest market andit was terrible and wouldn’t catch fire even with fire starters. Find good wood.

Camp site, very well maintained. Staff was helpful and kind. Beautiful views and quiet, not crowded beaches.
