Ocean side campground in the off season was very nice. We picked a stellar day and night to spend there-no wind, good sunset/sunrise, stars, horses during the day and sunset, beautiful sand, overall spectacular. Would definitely come again.

We arrived without a reservation but it was off season and sites were available. Check-in was quick and easy at the ranger's station. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful. Our site was clean and the bathrooms were clean as well. Bathrooms had plenty of toilet paper and hand sanitizer was available. This is a beautiful campground with a lot of wildlife. We saw horses (of course), deer, fox, and a few different birds on a walk to the bay side. The sunrises here are absolutely beautiful over the Atlantic. On a clear night the stars are amazing (bring a red light and star chart)! Overall, this campground is a fantastic place to visit, you would not be disappointed!

We loved visiting Assateague. The wildlife was amazing and everywhere. Our time was way too short. We will be back soon I hope.

very low water pressure at the fill station. Otherwise 5 stars.

Such an amazing spot to camp! It might have been a blustery and cold March day we were there, but the scenery and the ponies were all amazing. The campsite was clean, easy to access, and the location right next to the beach was wonderful. We'll definitely return!

Nice beach

This National Seashore is something out of a dream! The wild horses were out and about all day everyday. The grounds were immaculate and all the rangers were very helpful and accommodating. Make sure to pack lots of bug spray and sunblock and enjoy one of the best parks I have ever been to.

We enjoyed camping at Assateaque, but that’s only because we love camping in very close proximity to the beach. (This review is for Oceanside campground, not Bayside.) There is nothing at all special about the campground itself, and in any other environment I would rate it only 2-3 stars. The sites have no privacy or shade whatsoever, and although some sites are close to the beach, the dunes obscure any view that one might otherwise have, and they also block any ocean breeze you might hope and pray for on hot, muggy nights. The horses are a fun and unusual component, but their presence does mean large piles of droppings everywhere (including right in your campsite) as well as the associated flies. We’ve camped here in the fall and the summer, and will not return again in summer…ever. The combined heat and crowds were just not worth the effort of camping. Many have talked about the mosquitos, but I think that is mostly a problem at Bayside, because we never saw any during our one week stay at Oceanside in late July. We camped in a small RV, so we didn’t have to use the pit toilets or un-heated showers, and based on the frequent long lines for both, I’m especially grateful for that. If you love horses, you might love the experience of camping among them. If you love spending time at the beach, this campground puts you just a short walk away. But otherwise, it’s just a shadeless spot among sand, brush, and horse droppings.
