  • Wildlife watching: The area is rich in wildlife, especially at Bayside Assateague Campground. One visitor noted, "The wild horses are amazing, but please heed the warnings about how brazen they can be if you leave food out."

What you should know

  • Mosquitoes can be a problem: Especially in warmer months, be prepared for bugs. A visitor at Oceanside Assateague Campground warned, "It can get windy, but it keeps the bugs down which is good. If it’s dead calm, you’re going to deal with mosquitoes and flies."

  • Plan for activities: Make sure to have a list of things to do, like hiking or fishing. A visitor at Westmoreland State Park Campground mentioned, "The park is on a cliff overlooking the Potomac River, and the Big Meadow trail brings you to Fossil Beach."

Tips from RVers

  • Check for full hookups: Not all campgrounds offer full hookups, so plan accordingly. A reviewer at Kiptopeke State Park Campground noted, "Few full hookups."
  • Be prepared for tight spaces: Some campgrounds can feel crowded. A camper at Chincoteague Island KOA said, "Sites are one on top of the other."
  • Use leveling blocks: If you're in a camper, bring enough leveling blocks. A visitor at Trap Pond State Park Campground advised, "Site wasn't super level, so just bring enough leveling blocks if you're in a camper."
