Assateague Island National Seashore Campground offers a beautiful and unique camping experience, highlighted by the presence of wild horses and scenic beaches. Many visitors appreciate the friendly staff, well-maintained sites, and the variety of outdoor activities, including fishing, kayaking, and exploring the natural surroundings. However, some concerns were raised about mosquito levels, restroom cleanliness, and noise disturbances, suggesting that campers should come prepared with insect repellent and be mindful of food storage to avoid attracting wildlife. Overall, the campground is regarded as a special place that fosters family traditions and memorable experiences.

We showed up and couldn't go in the water or the beach due to a medical spill. I understand this is out of the parks control, but an email warning us about this is the least they could do so we could adjust our plans... we drove far to come here.

Toilets are gross. Invest in new bathrooms. Ew.

Such a wonderful and well-kept campground. It was so awesome to see the horses wandering around the campground, and we enjoyed camping on the marsh side and observing the birds and beautiful sunsets. Definitely want to come back again.

Well maintained campsites, easy to navigate signage/roadways, and great wildlife made this a great first-time overnight camping excursion. I will say that the ponies can be a nuisance. The expectation to "give them space" when they enter one's campsite during a meal so they can rummage without any significant 'consequence' is someday not going to end well. Other than that, we found the staff/cadre well-informed and the facilities well maintained. Plenty of information online regarding current conditions--we'll definitely come again.

They're not kidding about the biting insects! As long as you're well coated in bug spray, this place is wonderful. The facilities are well maintained and the campsites are a generous size while maintaining a bit of privacy.

My husband and I took our two boys to Assateague to camp ocean side. We didn’t know what to expect and were new to the adventure, and my goodness did it not disappoint! We brought two tents and some food for the night. We bought firewood from one of the local spots. The ocean was oddly warm, so both our boys swam in the ocean. We got to see the Milky Way and shooting stars! It was a spectacular 24 hours. We enjoyed ourselves so much, we immediately booked another overnight for November. It’ll be chilly! But that means more snuggling by the fire!
I was looking to get our kids to unplug from online life, see nature and just exist and this trip was perfect for our entire family. A “hard restart” for the human brain.
