We enjoyed the campground. Sites were not right on top of each other. We were in site B15 and it was perfect for our van. Easy walk up the dune to see the water and sunrise.

This site was wonderful. View of the water, not too far from the bathrooms, but far enough from other campers we felt isolated. Hoping to camp here annually

Always amazing and beautiful! This site is pretty large, very close to the ocean, there is a uphill slope from parking area to the firepit/table/ocean. We were there during a storm so we pitched the tent down the hill by the car, where it was less windy, but of course a lot more prone to collecting water. Overall, very cool spot.

This is the best place ever! We have stayed twice now at ocean side spots 15 and 27 for one week at a time and we just love it! Having the option to just walk out of your RV and be steps away from the ocean is just a great experience. A lot of reviewers mentioned sand flies but we did not encounter any of them; we camped mid-September and end of October.

This is my second time solo camping at the Oceanside campground at Assateague, after stumbling onto it during the Perseid meteor shower a few years ago. When I realized that Wow, you could camp right on the beach at Assateague, I was blown away. The walk-in sites are best for a tent camper; you won't hear or see a car or RV. Imagine waking up at night in your cozy tent and hearing the waves nearby, or sticking your head through the zipper to see the stars, free from tree cover. In the morning, wild horses may be walking past your picnic table.

The only drawback is the lack of showers. There are primitive (pit) toilets, and a water pump of potable water, but you're out of luck if you want to wash all over. It's well worth the slight inconvenience to sleep on the beach, though.

Gorgeous place with beautiful campsites and great facilities.

Make sure you bring long stakes for the sand. My kids loved waking up on the beach.

Beachside loop is an excellent location - certain sites you can see the ocean from your tent. Large picnic table with storage underneath. Firepit with grate. Clean facilities with running water, cold showers, vault toilets. Ponies came around frequently (we visited end of May). Beautiful sunsets/sunrises. Trails are a short walk. Bayside has kayaking, crabbing and more. You can get your ice and firewood within the park at the bayside store.

Camping at Assateague is always a treat. Reservation and Check In process is always smooth. We love the seclusion of Assateague.

This beach campsite is amazing. Do not stay on the sound side in summer.
