The Assateague Island National Seashore park lands and facilities are well maintained. For future visitors during the summer months, we want to relay and emphasize that the mosquitos, gnats, no-see-ums, and other bugs are extremely prevalent and aggressive at this camp site and in the Bay Area in general. We shortened our trip because even with significant mitigation measures (bug spray, camper with screens, citronella candles, full body clothing and mosquito nets), we still got bit up a lot. Theres nothing that the staff could do to prevent this, but wanted to make sure others are aware of how bad the bugs are this time of year. Seeing the horses was amazing and the staff is incredibly kind. Beaches are gorgeous.

It was awesome. Waking up to seeing the horses was a beautiful peaceful experience my fianc and I stayed 2 night but extended an extra day to another site because we didnt want to leave! It was clean and safe and fun!

The bathrooms on Bayside are like gulag cell blocks. I dont have any trouble with cold water showers, but the shower head was ridiculously small with poor flow and you had to push a button EVERY SEVEN SECONDS to keep the water flowing. It was ponderous, to stay the least.On the Oceanside, the showers had large shower heads will a big pull handle to keep the water flowing and while you could maintain privacy, the shower room was open to the outdoors.I also have no trouble with pit toilets, but even the toilet structures were somehow more friendly on Oceanside.I feel like whoever the architect was for the facilities on Bayside had only designed high security prisons previously.On a more positive note, the staff couldnt have been better. They were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Ive camped all over the country and the staff at Assateague is superior to staff at most other National Parks.With all my complaints about the lousy bathrooms on Bayside, except for trash and waste that sometimes accumulated in between cleanings from inconsiderate campers not cleaning up after themselves, the bathrooms were very clean and cleaned regularly.

Amazing stay at the Assateague Idland National Seashore! We stayed for 2 weeks. Our site was clean and had excellent positioning for our solar. The staff was very friendly , polite and helpful! The out houses and shower were clean and well maintained.Would love to seen some type of solar heat for the showers.The grounds were very well maintained. I highly recommend you give them a try when in the area!!

Holy cow or should I say horse. They were everywhere. This was our first trip to Assateague and were shocked by the abundance of horses around. It was nice to see fellow travelers giving the horses the appropriate berth. Second acknowledgement is the ample biking available. We spent most of our time travel around on our bikes, which we appreciated.

We had a lovely time. The park staff was helpful. The beach was really clean. Our campsite was orderly. The horses will come right up to your tent/camp site, which the kids loved. Loved our stay here, would come again.

Note - the state park is right next to the national park, and theres no warnings for that.

The camping is great, it is the weather that made me leave early.

This park was absolutely beautiful. I am not a fan of outhouse style bathrooms, but I would stay here over and over again for the animals and the views.

Excellent park and experience!

Our camping trip was amazing. We explored the waters of shell Beach for the first time. The campground is so quiet at night, you can hear the ocean.
