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.

Staff and volunteers were very friendly and helpful, as usual. We brought our canoe and harvested mussels for a great seafood dinner. We choose the bayside campground this year because the ocean side was very windy last year. The horses were very active, you can spend hours watching them. We visit yearly and will again.

Was wonderful to see the horses. They walked right through my campsite. Sometimes it is hard to keep a distance from them because they will walk up to you. It was windy while I was there so I didn't spend time at the beach.

Site 24 was very good - flat, not too sandy (LOL), on pony path (LOL). Did not have hand sanitizer in toilets, but otherwise okay. Could not find out if potable water was available last week of April (tried calling and web) so loaded up trailer but it was available! Awkward access due to one way roads. Lovely weather,no bugs but WINDY! Lovely staff.

It would be an improvement to have a walking path to the beach from the Bayside campground so that you don't have to walk in the road.

Sites on the Oceanside loop have easy access to the beach and the wild horses enjoy visiting the camp sites in the morning. Definitely keep all food securely stored at all times. Lovely place to disconnect and just be.

Bay and beach water was crisp and clean. Kayaking was super interesting, able to view horses all around the salt marsh.
Nighttime stars were magnificent. Long walk along the beach was refreshing. +1

We LOVE camping here! The setting is beautiful, and the horses are troublemakers but fun to watch. One criticism I have is that most of the picnic tables have at least one storage door that's broken. So be sure to bring bungee cords or something heavy to block them with. And - while the storage spaces under the tables are generally horse-proof, they are NOT raccoon-proof. I woke up to raccoons crawling right through the gaps in the sides of the table and opening our bags and coolers. So if you have anything that a raccoon could possibly open, store it in your car overnight.
