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.

I love coming here. This was my third year coming a row. It’s a fun tradition to have! NPS has activities Memorial Day through Labor Day. We prefer the grass campsites over the sand ones. This year we got to see dolphins and be out in the water as they swam past us. For the horse if they come to bully you out of your food, remember they are prey animals and you can startle them away from you. Don’t let them bully you. It’s a pretty good place for star gazing, the only light pollution is ocean city, which is a crazy amount considering. Even when you are like far down the island at the back country sites along the beach.

Our stay was nice, we were blessed with perfect weather for the weekend. Our campsite was on the bayside loop, which was the only spot we could get, so it was about a 5 minute bike ride to get to the beach. But otherwise the campsite was adequate and clean. Horses wandered through the bayside loop every day which kept things interesting. Our one complaint was the showers. No warm water, so be prepared for a cold shower. And, no lights, so take a flashlight or your iphone if you go in after dark. I don't understand why they can't install a motion activated light. The restroom facilities at the beach had them. Otherwise, we had a great weekend and will definitely return!
