It was a very nice experience. Just to see these horses and experience it and to see the horses in their own environment was priceless.

It’s always fun to stay on Assateague Island. The weather was perfect for August. The only thing to prepare for is the mosquitos. We have been there in November and it was also great.

In September, The park is very peaceful and I was able to get an Oceanside site. I come from local area and enjoy just having a peaceful couple of days. This time it rained and was quite windy. Luckily there are still some local restaurants oben as I usually cook over the campfire. Lots and lots of horses turkeys and deer this time.

We always have a lovely time camping at Assateague, and this weekend was no exception! It's such a beautiful place to spend a weekend. Thank you to the Park Rangers for keeping things so clean and being helpful during our stay.

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!

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.
