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.

Assateague is a great place. Love camping. Sites are very private. Glad you are emailing reservation reminders.

We enjoy the island, but this time we had other campers bringing their dog up next to us to do his business. A lot of campers with dogs aren’t picking up after them.

The bathrooms on Bayside are like gulag cell blocks. I don’t have any trouble with cold water showers, but the shower head was ridiculously small with poor flow and you had to push a button EVERY SEVEN SECONDS to keep the water flowing. It was ponderous, to stay the least.
On the Oceanside, the showers had large shower heads will a big pull handle to keep the water flowing and while you could maintain privacy, the shower “room” was open to the outdoors.
I also have no trouble with pit toilets, but even the toilet structures were somehow more friendly on Oceanside.
I feel like whoever the architect was for the facilities on Bayside had only designed high security prisons previously.
On a more positive note, the staff couldn’t have been better. They were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I’ve camped all over the country and the staff at Assateague is superior to staff at most other National Parks.
With all my complaints about the lousy bathrooms on Bayside, except for trash and waste that sometimes accumulated in between cleanings from inconsiderate campers not cleaning up after themselves, the bathrooms were very clean and cleaned regularly.

Very peaceful and quiet experience. Funny story… we stored a bag of fruit in the box under the picnic table; we secured the latch and felt good about it. The raccoons raided the box and got away with a healthy bounty… bag and all! That’s when we discovered that the other end of the box is just a door without a latch. Lol
We had a great time. It’s a clean, beautiful park with lots of wildlife, especially the horses.

What a great park! Quick check-in, friendly staff, fresh water at the dump station, level sites, and the horses! I will definitely visit this park again and stay longer.

The campsites on the bay side vary in terms of privacy and views but all are quite nice. The ability to buy a pass to drive on the sand is wonderful! The only criticism i have is that hot water showers should be provided. Showering after a beach visit is necessary, and cold water showers are a shock to the system. Thanks for considering and i do appreciate that there are showers. Acadia does not have any showers.
