Just like to post a big thank you to the island Resort family for the great service we got this morning. Upon leaving we found we had a flat tire. We called the office asking for help and she yes, sure they’ll be right out. They were there within 5 minutes and we were on the road in a half hour!!! We love Island Resort and camp there a couple three times a year. So thank you to the two gentlemen and the lady in the office!

This is our 2nd year staying here with an RV that does have its own bathroom. The sites are enormous and relatively level and the lake is beautiful. We enjoyed the pool last year. I do think it would be nice if they updated the playground but we come here basically to sleep and go to the beach each day so it’s not really essential to us. It’s a bare bones RV campground but you can’t beat the price or location and we have had no issues with service any time we have called or stopped in to the store. It is quiet and so peaceful, and we have not had any issues with biting insects on either trip in early August. A side note— every other campground close to here is now owned by Sun Outdoors. They crank the prices and have a two dog limit. We have 3 small dogs (less than 25 lb total) and it’s nice to not have to worry about having them all sitting outside with us here. We really appreciate that.

We have been going to Island Resort Campground for the past 4 years and love it!! If you are looking for a restful, relaxing campground then this is the place for you!! We love staying right on the lake with the ability to fish right from our campsite, or we can walk across the road to fish at the pond. We love the laid back atmosphere of the campground. The sites are spacious with plenty of room for your camper, vehicle, golf cart/bikes, etc. They have a nice little store that is stocked with things you may need or run out of in a pinch as well as individual ice cream choices, which was perfect for eating while riding in our golfcart around the campground. We enjoyed the pool several times while we were there but spent most of our time directly at our campsite enjoying the view. We look forward to our time at Island Resort Campground every year and can't wait to be back!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a quick weekend getaway. The cabin we stayed in was really cute! Perfect for a couple but also had bunk beds for a couple friends or kids to come along. Fishing was great! I personally used to come here a lot with my family before covid, we used to stay in a camper along the lake and had many week long vacations, we even had thanksgiving here one year! The view is beautiful! This campground is quiet, peaceful, and just a short drive away from Ocean City. The staff were very nice and the store had everything we needed. I’m happy I made the trip back to this place now that im older. This campground is so nostalgic to me personally, and I will definitely be back soon to create more memories here!

We stayed at this campground July - September 2024. The campground could use some TLC - most of the amenities are run down and they need to put money into the amenities. The sites are large and spacious, but that’s the only thing going for this campground besides the affordability compared to Sun Outdoors in area.

The front desk staff generally arent very friendly, they are strict. We’re full time RVers and have been to over 100+ campgrounds so for us to say this.. says a lot and we do Thousand Trails (if you know you know).

We called to stay again mid May to mid June 2025 since we have family in area, never received a confirmation email, and called to cancel reservation since we are waiting on our RV to be ready/fixed and it won’t be ready in time. For our month stay, a $500 deposit is required and since we didn’t cancel within 30 days of reservation they weren’t willing to give money back.. we didn’t know this policy since we never got the email. They didn’t send the confirmation to the correct email address, not an error on our end.

If you are looking for a very sub par campground, this does the job, but don’t expect much.
