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 .

We reserved a campsite Bayside because that was the only campground accepting reservations. When we checked in, we requested an oceanside first come first served site. The park ranger quickly changed our reservation for no additional fee. The campsite was perfect! We parked our Teardrop and enjoyed a beautiful sunset. The clouds rolled in and the night was extremely dark, no light pollution except for a slight glow in the north from Ocean City. When the clouds cleared, the stars were absolutely breathtaking! The sunrise over the waves was also incredibly beautiful. Although it was breezy and cold, the fire in the firepit kept us warm outside. The Teardrop was plenty warm without the heater. Our campsite was just across the driveway from the vault toilets. We appreciated the convenience. The toilets were well stocked and clean. We needed our lanterns because there were no lights near the toilets. We greatly appreciated the preservation of the darkness!
The wild ponies were not the only wildlife. We saw lots of seagulls, wrens, sparrows, warblers, ducks, and heron. We saw only a few people. Late November is a great time to visit Assateaque Island!

We had a great time. We saw the ponies up close and personal as they came through our campsite. Ticks and mosquitoes are no joke though. The Lonestar sticks at our site were really bad. I would recommend biking and kayaking. Also, take a view from the bridge at sunset and walk the beach at night.
