We had a wonderful week this year. We could not have asked for better weather! Not too hot, and enough breeze to keep the mosquitos at bay. If you are in need of ice the store on the bayside campground has it but they close early. They only have cubed ice. I found out that if you drive to the state park later in the evening you dont have to pay to get in and they have 2 sizes of cubed ice and also have block ice. Its much easier than driving to the Assateague Market. The people taking care of the latrines were very thorough and did a nice job.

Nice quiet space with very private-like beach access. Lots of stars at night. Beautiful sunrise. Only negatives is that you are not notified of a $25 park vehicle fee when making your reservation. Also, other campers are people who monopolize the reservations for their friends and families. The park should shorten the limit you can camp in consecutive days to 3 days during the summer months. Give more people the chance to experience the beach camping during the summer.

As usual everything is wonderful for people who use mobility aids.

early May is still cool, no black flies, few mosquitos; dry camping, paved road & campsites. loved being by seashore. wild ponies everywhere, including sleeping across from our campsite & walking right by us @ our campsite. Chincoteague ponies (further south in VA) had lots of foals. Visitors Center very nice. FYI, must reserve AS SOON as reservations open!
Excellent

We loved camping so close to the beach and being close to the horses wandering through. It has been on my lists of to dos for a long time.

Wonderful place but the restrooms/bathrooms are awful. They need to renovate the toilets.

This is a beautiful park with an extraordinary amount of beautiful things to do and see. We wish would have stayed for longer than one night. We definitely saw horses on the beach, and in our campground. We stayed in the Oceanside Loop. Only negative was one camper who ran a very loud generator from 7A until almost 10PM while we were there and then fired it up again the next morning. We have batteries and solar, so we are very sensitive to this. Instead of sitting around our campfire at night, looking at the stars and hearing waves crashing...it sounded like a construction site. It is my understanding that at least one member from the group has to remain on the site while the generator is running, but they definitely were all off of the site. I have also read that the generator cannot exceed 50 decibels from 50 feet away, but I measured it and it was nearly 60db from over 150 ft away. Otherwise, a beautiful, beautiful place worth revisiting.

Best camping ever! Right on the beach. We had a fantastic time and are planning on coming back. A few tips: come prepared for bugs...lots of bugs. Bring you own shade tent, there is no shade anywhere so bring hats, tents and sunscreen. Secure your tent with the longest stakes you can find, it gets windy.Heed the warnings to not leave anything out at your campsite when you leave! The horses can be destructive and will definitely go through your stuff.

staff at check in building were quite cautionary , and as a result not very welcoming.
And I wan only there in June, hope they hold up for the entire summer

Great time of year to be there. April 11 - 14. We camped mid week and had different neighbors everyday. All friendly. Good space between campsites and quiet. Beautiful beach. Weather changed rapidly from sunny and warm (high 60) to cool and overcast (50s) in one day. Although they tell you to stay 40 ft from horses, they came right up to our picnic table seeing if we had anything edible. It was on the open grill wrapped in foil on the fire so they moved on. Visitors Center had a lot of great info about the birds we saw. Great store close by to get supplies of all kinds. Our camp host checked in on us and was super informative. Great place to ride bikes. Only issue was the flies that cumulated in our camper during the day but we were outside and they were dormant at night.

Magical time even tho rain and wind were relentless. Visitor center is fantastic. Junior ranger program helped pass the rainy afternoon. Horses everywhere

Amazing!!!!! First trip with our travel trailer . I have never used a port a potty and was worried but it was clean and had NO ODOR

Loved it here. We stayed in the Oceanside Loop in sites #10 and #29. There was a lot of sand in the first loop due to Hurricane Ian but you could tell they had tried their best to clear it up. Site 29 had more space but unfortunately someone had left food or grease around that attracted a lot of flies. The camp host was great and came over to cover it up with sand. Great solar so no need for generator. Great biking on the island and over the bridge to Visitor Center. Very friendly staff.

We had a great time in Assateague! Our campsite was right next to the bathrooms which was very convenient (especially because I’m pregnant and we had 2 kids with us), my husband and son got to witness a baby horse being born which is incredible, and a group of horses came through our camp! I’m glad there were cabinets to store our food, or the horses would’ve taken it. We couldn’t have asked for better weather either, it was a great weekend!

We loved the oceanside camping. Our favorite place is on the bench at the top of the walkway in loop 1. Enjoy

Parking fee was not disclosure when booking camping reservation. In addition, our spot was full of sand due to the wind and should have been notified and or changed.
@JanetH454 · Camped on Nov 5, 2020 at Campsite #10
This is one of the most beautiful NPS camping sites on the Atlantic Ocean! You must have DEET spray for black flies due to the beautiful wild horses on this picturesque island. This place is AMAZINGLY beautiful!! Explore the marsh boardwalk area. Explore everything, but give horses their space. They are wild.
Bring extra-long heavy duty stakes for use in the sand to secure your tent. Pick a site that is further back from the beach to find a grassy area to avoid as much sand in tent.
