We trailer camped on the Bayview side. Easy access, level, and plenty of room with good separation between sites. Pit toilets. No utilities. Situated in the salt marsh in the immediate vicinity of horses and other wildlife in abundant number and variety. Easy hiking in the marsh, dunes, forests, and beach. Wonderful nature preserve!

Great campground. The only thing that would make it better would be not allowing generators.

The park was fine. The negatives to the experience was the sand flies and not having electricity. We had to open our windows and the flies came in through the screens, by the 1000s. We were scheduled to stay 3 nights, but left a day early.

The stay was beautiful as always

Our stay was for one night at Bayside A20. We enjoyed our short visit. We arrived greeted along side the road by the ponies we had come to see. That evening we set off to the Life of The Marsh Trail. The boardwalk view of the marsh was magical. At one end the trail comes to a small beach. More ponies sighted. The following morning before departing we walked to the beach area beyond the Oceanside campground enjoying the white sand and dunes. No ponies visited our campsite, we did have bunnies visit. Our cat who travels with us was fascinated by them. My only reservation about the campsite was the cold showers. The cold shower was refreshing after a very hot evening and morning walk. We would camp again at Assateague Island campground in a heartbeat.

Great for walking, biking, beach going. Love it.

Just remember to follow the lock box rules for food storage. We put everything away and had no issues with the horses. However there were several sites that got ransacked do to them leaving items out. Make sure to bring your bug spray for bay side camp spots. Keeping all that in mind we had an excellent time.

We visited in mid July and stayed in the sound side Loop A. Be prepared for wild ponies to meander through your campground every day, sometimes two or three times. They also stampeded through the campground once, then made their way galloping down the beach while the lead males nipped at each other. It was a little scary at times. The vault toilets are not nice to use, but get the job done. At times you can be swarmed by mosquitoes, so Deet spray is mandatory. We ran a generator after coming back from the beach, the trailer was too hot to work in, but the tents were not too bad. In the evening it was cool enough to sleep without AC. We will come back and try for an ocean side campground next time. The ocean and beach were awesome.

We read reviews and expected to get carried away by mosquitoes...they were bad, but less than we expected after reading the horror stories. If you sprayed with some deet (we used 45%), they wouldn't bother you as much. Definitely don't let the bugs keep you away from this campground!! The sites are nice and big and the horses frequented around at least 2-3x per day on the 2 days days we stayed here. We didn't have a great bay view, but it was still a nice site. Facilities were decent, nothing fancy. We tried to avoid the bayside campground when booking, but ended up staying 2 nights here and we would do it all over again...nothing wrong with it at all! Only downside is its not as close to the beach, but its not too far if you choose to walk. Beautiful simple campground with wild horses...can't beat it!

This was one of the greatest places I’ve ever been. I kept adding nights because it was all so lovely. Don’t miss the clamming and crabbing lessons from the rangers. I rented a kayak one day and one of the guys there told me how to collect mussels, so I had grilled mussels a couple of nights. The beach is lovely and I love that the horses roam through the campgrounds. They’ll takeover your fire because the smoke keeps the bugs off, but it’s well worth it. The only problem was the bugs, but that wasn’t bad on the Oceanside. Great experience overall. Can’t wait to return!

Nice camp ground, especially Bayside loops which are somewhat sheltered from wind and water (high tides!). Facilities are adequate. Electric service would be a plus. Walking trails and other facilities are very nice.

The Bayside campground was great. The sites were not too crowded together and we had nice views over the bay.
@DouglasG431 · Camped on May 7, 2021 at Campsite #A20
We stayed 4 days on the ocean side & 3 days on the bay side both sites was nice. The park is clean. The rangers and campground host offered a wealth of information for the park and surrounding area.
