Awesome couple days at Assateague National Seashore Park. The site was in a great location, walking distance from the dunes and beaches. Bathroom (Porta-Potty Style) clean and spacious. Shower has cold water only. RV water fill station had low pressure and took a little while to fill up the tank.

Pros, Nice park and reasonable rates. Very close to beach. They don't hassle you about drinking. Cons, Hard to get into. Site says they are fully booked but half sites are empty need to encourage canceling so sites can reopen. Also an outdoor sink for doing dishes would be a big improvement.

Where to begin...this place is amazing! The wild horses are beautiful, and since they are so used to people, [as long as you follow the park rules] they are as docile as can be. Since we got our campervan staying overnight on the island's Bayside loops (in the offseason because during the summer, the bugs will roast you more than the heat will!), and I can truly say it was more than we bargained for.
Highlights included having our own private beach just a short walk through the wooded path, stargazing once the sun went down, and, of course, waking up to horses just hanging around the campsite.
This place is a must; we will surely return in the spring!

I created my Assateague Island Activity & Coloring Book to help campers be the best visitor to the wild horses by explaining how to store food, drive slow, and put trash in its place while on the island. Clean campground with friendly hosts. I love it on Assateague!
