Overview

Camping on Assateague Island puts you steps from the Atlantic, with dunes, wild ponies, and wide-open skies. Campsites range from bayside to oceanside, offering different views across the island.

Why It’s Worth a Stop

This is coastal camping at its most elemental. Salt air, wind, and the sound of waves shape the rhythm of each day.

What to Know Before You Go

• Reservations required and fill quickly (March 15 – November 15)
• Expect wind and shifting sand
• No electric hookups
• Wild horses roam freely; food must be secured

Fun Fact

The famous ponies are believed to descend from horses that swam ashore after early shipwrecks.
