Walk-in camp site #062 is a beautiful spot, somewhat out of the wind, with a most engaging resident racoon, who lives there full time and exacts food tariffs on all visitors.

First come, first serve was a fiasco. Not happy with how they handled our situation or their attitude when addressing it.

@MaryH1910665 · Camped on Nov 13, 2024 at Campsite #34

We loved visiting Assateague. The wildlife was amazing and everywhere. Our time was way too short. We will be back soon I hope.

Lovely weather. Quiet beach. Great walks.

@DavidF8210922 · Camped on Nov 11, 2024 at Campsite #19

Absolutely fabulous place to camp! Sites were clean and level, reservation and Check out process was quick and easy. Ranger who helped with the reservation was very knowledgeable and made the process very easy!

@PatrickD386639 · Camped on Nov 10, 2024 at Campsite #A16

Excellent experience

@WillaL9F854696 · Camped on Nov 9, 2024 at Campsite #7

Magical place - we had horses visit our tent at sunset and had the most beautiful sunrise on the beachwith dolphins!! The second evening was a stormy night. Our tent barely made it as the beach was super windy and some water got in. So I guess the experience really depends on weather. Camp ground hosts were super nice, as were the other campers. Toilets do not flush but were clean. Overall would highly recommend this place!

@RobertD9538610 · Camped on Nov 8, 2024 at Campsite #A15

A truly amazing piece of coastal nature with horses and all the expected wildlife. Stunning sunrise and sunsets over the water just a short walk from camp for both. Only caution is the sand spurs on the A loop. Puppy friendly space but not on their paws. Otherwise a great dry camping outing!

@PamL2649525 · Camped on Nov 7, 2024 at Campsite #B37

I'll have to come back soon because it's a lovely area, but we didn't have any encounters with the horses on our short, 1-night stay.

@FrankW9092730 · Camped on Nov 6, 2024 at Campsite #22

Always enjoy AINS. Lovely camping, beach access and of course horses!

@PattiW6001768 · Camped on Nov 5, 2024 at Campsite #23

Love camping at the National Park at Assateague - very peaceful in the off season.

@AnnB3066990 · Camped on Nov 5, 2024 at Campsite #A10

Good separation between camping sites, good biking , bathroom in loop A pretty awful

@ChrisB5203459 · Camped on Nov 5, 2024 at Campsite #24

Awesome couple days at Assateague National Seashore Park. The site was in a great location, walking distance from the dunes and beaches. Bathroom (Porta-Potty Style) clean and spacious. Shower has cold water only. RV water fill station had low pressure and took a little while to fill up the tank.

@MichaelB697476 · Camped on Nov 5, 2024 at Campsite #B36

Fantastic park. Great camp sites, horses and deer everywhere, nice spots for bike riding, crabbing, etc.

@BruceT1238373 · Camped on Nov 4, 2024 at Campsite #16

More Oceanside drive in sites

@mitchelll02F87 · Camped on Nov 3, 2024 at Campsite #C45

Where to begin...this place is amazing! The wild horses are beautiful, and since they are so used to people, [as long as you follow the park rules] they are as docile as can be. Since we got our campervan staying overnight on the island's Bayside loops (in the offseason because during the summer, the bugs will roast you more than the heat will!), and I can truly say it was more than we bargained for. Highlights included having our own private beach just a short walk through the wooded path, stargazing once the sun went down, and, of course, waking up to horses just hanging around the campsite. This place is a must; we will surely return in the spring!

@JimG4565855 · Camped on Nov 3, 2024 at Campsite #A15

Wonderful experience, facilities were well kept. All staff interactions professional and pleasant. Great welcome visitor center

@DanielF1136472 · Camped on Nov 1, 2024 at Campsite #67

Pros, Nice park and reasonable rates. Very close to beach. They don't hassle you about drinking. Cons, Hard to get into. Site says they are fully booked but half sites are empty need to encourage canceling so sites can reopen. Also an outdoor sink for doing dishes would be a big improvement.

@DouglasM892285 · Camped on Nov 1, 2024 at Campsite #12

Always a great experience, camp hosts were very friendly, well maintained campground

@PATRICIAF93069 · Camped on Oct 31, 2024 at Campsite #24

Fabulous camp grounds, lots of space for your camper. You do not feel packed in with or against other campers. Perfect weather in late October.

@RichardK748784 · Camped on Oct 30, 2024 at Campsite #G1

Easy to check in, bathrooms were clean, water was available for drinking and cleaning dishes. There was a little confusion on where we are allowed to set up tents, there is a requirement to be no more than 30 feet from a fire pit, which I am not sure is possible at a 25 person group camp site. In the end, we did not have to move our tents. The night skies were amazing.

@maureenm112503 · Camped on Oct 30, 2024 at Campsite #C48

I always love Assateague, but what a thrill to experience it in early November when the water is still relatively warm and the mosquitos and crowds are all but gone. Campsite C48 is spectacular, extending out the back side all the way to the bayshore. It is the best site on the island, in my opinion. My dog and I walked up and down the shore multiple times a day, experiencing it in all lights. We also launched our paddleboards right from our own campsite and explored the salt marshes and the bay. And morning coffee with a bayview is divine. The ocean is a mile walk or quick bike ride away.

@Samanthac24979 · Camped on Oct 29, 2024 at Campsite #A8

I created my Assateague Island Activity & Coloring Book to help campers be the best visitor to the wild horses by explaining how to store food, drive slow, and put trash in its place while on the island. Clean campground with friendly hosts. I love it on Assateague!

@DavidM1864120 · Camped on Oct 28, 2024 at Campsite #24

Pet friendly

@JohnW4841416 · Camped on Oct 28, 2024 at Campsite #B32

We spent 2 nights in the Bayside campground...short walk to beautiful sunsets. Facilities were clean. Stayed in B loop which offered a little more privacy than the other two loops but overall very impressed with the campground. Will return.... and the ponies didn't disappoint us with multiple visits while we were there.

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
