About Assateague Island National Seashore Campground
Assateague Island National Seashore is a 37-mile long barrier island on the Atlantic Coast of Maryland and Virginia. Famed for its wild horses, this barrier island is a constantly shifting ribbon of sand, altered daily by powerful wind and waves. Assateague Island, dedicated as a National Seashore on September 1, 1965, lays claim to a long and rich history. Today's visitors can explore sandy beaches, salt marshes, maritime forests, and coastal bays. Only a couple of miles wide at its broadest point, the island's terrain offers shelter to the famed wild horses as well as sika deer, ghost crabs, and migrating birds such as the great blue heron and snowy egret. Favorite recreational activites include fishing, surfing, beachcombing, swimming, and sunbathing.
The Over-Sand Vehicle (OSV) Zone at Assateague Island contains miles of unspoiled beaches managed by the National Park Service to accommodate OSV enthusiasts and other beach goers.
The Assateague Island National Seashore, Assateague State Park, and the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge work together to manage and protect this unique, diverse strip of land.

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.
The campground was nice, the sites were well spaced but the mosquitoes were thick. The weather was also over cast or raining during our 2 night stay. I’m glad we came to see it and notch it off my list but I probably will not come back for another visit.
Nice, clean, spacious campsite. Limited space for flat tent setup, but we made it work. Horses were very visible and no issues. Clean bathrooms, friendly staff.
Unfortunately, I would love to stay that overall we had a wonderful time. But that’s not 100% the case. The trip itself was great. Our time there camping with our horses was great. But, every ranger we encountered wasn’t as friendly and welcoming as we thought. When we arrived to check in I felt that the ranger was pretty dismissive to us. My dad was having a hard time hearing her and it was clear it was annoying to her. While we were checking in I was attempting to ask questions about all places that are okay for us to ride and the ranger had a bit of an attitude about it just wanted us to go. Upon arrival they gave my dad a military pass and we left without fully thinking while he stayed behind with our horses and they refused to let us back in simply because he wasn’t in the truck. I stated he was at the camp site and if someone could go to the site. The ranger in the booth was very short with us and called over another ranger that approved us in a very argumentative manner. After simply accepting we had to pay for a pass because they wouldn’t let us in otherwise even asking again if someone could go to your camp site to get my dad to confirm his ID for the military pass both rangers at each side of the truck continued in an argumentative tone while we were actively trying to pay for a pass to get back in.
Beautiful. Tent camped in high winds and all conditions pretty much but it was great. Loved seeing the horses come by. Loved seeing all the new trail expansions made within the last 13 years. Totally, however, would be awesome to get up to STATE PARK STANDARDS and install DECENT BATHROOMS. Other than that, no complaints at all. Loved it ♡♡♡
This was my second camping visit to Assateague. The bay sites are flat, spacious and clean. I also found the people incredibly friendly and helpful. It was the perfect place for me to restore my soul after writing a few hard chapters in my most recent memoir.

Great spot and would definitely would consider going back. We were in the beachside sites with remote parking. It is fairly primitive with pit toilets and cold only showers to rinse off. We enjoyed being on the row closest to the beach, and it was pretty empty so we didn’t have neighbors. If you go when it’s busier, the next row in has a bit of shrubbery and the sites appear slightly more spaced out.
