We stayed at camp site 100.in my opinion it was the best site. It was private and spacious. The dunes protected from the heavy winds. Got firewood from the store there,decently priced. Quiet time was really quiet time, no loud music or parties
Great place for families. The mosquitos are pretty bad in the evening but nothing a little bug spray can't help. Horses were beautiful and easily spotted everywhere we went
Truly the best way to visit the beach, it wasn't overly crowded. Everyone was chill. Would have given 5 stars but the bathrooms were terrible. I know they are basically porta potties but still it was bad

I had a great time with my family. We have already decided to make this an annual thing.

The national campground provides an idyllic, affordable family vacation. Be sure to bring a shade tent and don't over-pack. We love kayaking in the bay, visiting the Berlin farmer's market, the Snow Hill toy shop and the Island Creamery. The Assateague Outfitters do a fantastic job at the Five Tides.

We camped on the beach in the ocean side walk in camping area. Sites were clean, staff was friendly, everything met our expectations. It was way too hot, but no one can control that. The only downside is the people who cannot seem to heed the warnings about the horses, and leave food accessible in their campsites.

Nice campsite. Definitely need bug spray, but the ocean breeze helped keep the mosquitos at bay. Bathrooms were pretty clean for being pit toilets.

I wanted to camp alone this summer for the experience, and I love Assatauge Island. I had a Oceanside site and it was perfect! The site was spacious and there was a table with a cubbie to put my cooler away so the pony's wouldn't raid it! I had plenty of neighbors so I felt safe. There was a lovely ocean breeze that kept it cool and comfortable. At Assatauge it gets dark at night. I mean true darkness. The stars were vibrant and pleantiful! I kept the fly off of my tent, it was a clear night. I couldn't fall asleep because the star gazzing is next level. I didn't want to miss a thing. This something I don't get to do very often because of all the light polution in my area. I didn't experience mosquitos at the site and on the beach because of the ocean breeze blowing inland. When you go to your car or to the bathroom and showers you are whats on the menu! With that said but bring the deet!

One dune back from the ocean, campsites are close together here but it's worth it for the beach proximity and the sea breeze helps with bugs

I was on site C39 and because it was located by the restrooms, several rude people kept cutting through my campsite to get to the restrooms. You need to put up some basic fencing on that site to keep people from cutting through.

We took our children and grandsons for a week of camping on ocean side. Spent time at the beach fishing, crabbing, clamming and quality time together. I bought us all sun shirts (which helped tremendously), sun screen and bug spray is another must. Even though most of us got alot of sun, we had a wonderful trip.
