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. For more information visit the Assateague Island National Seashore website .

My stay was amazing, we had a group camp site that was perfect. Neighboring campers were very friendly, we encountered the beautiful horses and watched dolphins from the beach. The weather was cool for the time of year that we went with some rain which I am grateful for. I do recommend extra stakes for sand to keep your tent down in the sand, it made a big difference against the wind. And I absolutely recommend staying for more than one night. There is plenty to see and the time flies by. This was a very memorable first time camping experience for myself and the teenagers who did not mind that their phones had died!

A great experience. Everything was wonderful except for the bathroom. The Government would condemn everyone's home if the bathrooms were kept like you keep them. Every hear of scrubbing or using a pressure washer to clean the showers? They were shameful, moldly - totally uncalled for. Just laziness on the Government part.

Campsite 104 was excellent! Private and serene. The horses showed up every night at sunset and were on the prowl for food. Use the boxes and keep them locked! We often saw them in the morning too. The birds tried to raid the storage box (they can fit through the slats) so keep you food covered!

The flies were vicious- horse flies, no see ums, gnats - you name it. It was still worth it. Even DEET did not work.

Sunrise on the beach was magical. Fell asleep to the sound of the waves. The stars were not blocked by light pollution.

Bring a tarp/screen house for shade. Don’t bother with the tiny metal stakes that come with your tent. Invest in some good ones and bury them to keep your tent secure because there is a constant breeze.

Stop by the visitor center and watch both films. We loved the nature walks on the bayside.

I will definitely be back!

Campsite and beach was really good but restrooms were horrible. Next time we will pick state park which has clean restrooms.

We arrived in the rain. Our site was postage stamp size, just large enough for our trailer and tow vehicle.
The grass around our table and fire ring was at least a foot tall. The Site area was very small with bushes defining the borders.
There were clouds of mosquitos! If the grass had been cut and the bushes cut back a little it may have been doable but as it was we weren't willing to endure the mosquitos so we left.
Good news is that we got a partial refund
Thank you for that.

As never been to Assateague Island, I was unaware of the fact that you must climb a huge sand dune in order to camp oceanside. A lot of exhausting trips to get gear to spot. Standard wagons/ wheels do not work. Very windy, cold (especially at night) even in 95 degree days. Very pretty, but hard to see horses unless in the right spot at the right time. Site 056 Oceanside.
Our other group had a good time bayside, but please be aware the bugs/ticks are horrible and it was very warm. Minimal air flow. Site B28 Bayside

We stayed in one of the walk-in loops. Lots of work getting everything to our site (bring a beach wagon to help haul your gear!) but it was worth it. It was quiet, peaceful right next to the ocean. Bathrooms were pit toilets but they were well maintained and clean. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

Site A24 was so nice and peaceful. I wanted a site with a little more space and not so close to others. This site was perfect!
The first night we were there the horses came. My oldest daughter heard something outside our tent. So I checked to see what it was, come to find out it was a family of horses. The dad walked around the tent with the mama as the baby stayed next to my van.
I have little kids so we didn't go to the ocean side but we did go to the bay side alot. My kiddos loved that side because there weren't any waves and the water is so shallow. Plus you can see the bottom which I love.
The only downside is the mosquitoes but I knew that from visiting in the past. Those bugs are like little vampires biting every second that they can.
