We love visiting Assateague to camp. Its beautiful and very clean. We feel that for being a natural area it is well kept, and the natural areas are respected by everyone. The hosts were very nice.

Windy on day one, but otherwise wonderful weather. Every day we had pony visits in the morning site 16B. One of which looked very pregnant and layed down nest to our campsite, the 3 other Ponies stood by and waited till she was ready to get up and hour later. We were close to the bathrooms & beach access. There is no water at the sites. No electricity. We used our generator (57DB sparingly, quieter than the national parks requirement). We used Tmobile home internet for wifi access. 4 bars. Beautiful beaches, clean, quiet all you could ask for. Cons: No real showers, cold water and more of a beach rinse off station

Love it there always nice. They keep the sites pretty clear considering all the sand and wind. Been camping here my entire life and still try to go at least once a year.

The campground was very clean and well maintained. The campground hosts were doing and excellent job and were keeping close eyes on all of the campers. The beach was very clean.

Ocean Campsite #16 was nice, clean, spacious, quiet, and only steps from the path to the beach. In early June midweek, the beach was quiet, and not all sites were occupied, even though they were marked as reserved. We were only there one night, abd had a nice breeze which kept the air temp comfirtabke, and we didnt have mosquitos. However, we did have some type if gnat coming through the screens and bothering us all night. (The breeze had stopped, and we needed to keep the windows open. Other than that, it was a nice stopover. Ponies made several apperances!

Great time as always. It was our first time staying on the ocean side. A lot more sand on the road than I expected.

We visited in early October and heard about the mosquito issues others have experienced, but we had a breezy evening with light rain occasionally that kept them away. The campsites are well spaced and clean. We did get to see the wild horses by driving around the next morning. Definitely worth the visit.

This was our first time at Assateague Island national park and it was fabulous. The ocean, the horses, the wildlife it is a wonderful place. Very quiet and peaceful. We look forward to a longer stay next year.
