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. For more information visit the Assateague Island National Seashore website .

Another great stay!! Love the upgraded picnic tables that really help us detract the horses and other wild life. Bathrooms and showers super clean. Check in staff friendly and knowledgeable. Would have loved this trip a little more over site about campers setting up after dark- but it makes sense for the heat - just too loud. Thank you park service employees for all the care you place in assisting us campers to have a great safe stay in such an incredible place!

My family had an awesome time camping on the beach. We did an AM fishing trip out of Ocean City which was close by.

We went there for one night at the walk in campsites by the beach. It was close to the showers and bathrooms. It was just lovely. The ocean was a few steps away from our camp. And as a bonus we were able to see the stars. Will be going back soon!

It was awesome. Waking up to seeing the horses was a beautiful peaceful experience my fiancé and I stayed 2 night but extended an extra day to another site because we didn’t want to leave! It was clean and safe and fun!
