The massive state park on the ocean and next door to the Assateague National Seashore offers a large number of campsites with paved parking pads as well as a few walk-in sites for tents only(J-loop). Because it’s at the beach, there are no trees to provide shade, so it’s worth pacing a canopy for shade or even a shade house for both shade and insect protection. Plan to keep your food items secured in your vehicle or at least a locking cooler because the other visitors to the campsites, the wild horses or Assateague, have the run of the place and they’ve learned that they can find food at the campground. Alcohol not permitted.

There are group campsite available as well.

Some of the sites at the edge of the loop closest to the to the beach are a bit larger, but size is not an issue with any of these sites. Showers are available at the bathrooms. You have easy access to the beach just over the dunes and it’s worth getting up to see the sunrise.  Generator noise can be an issue from sites that don't offer electric. There's a fee to use the boat launch at the park. Fishing is permitted from the beach and bay marina.

You can explore Assateague National Seashore as well, but keep in mind that there is a separate entrance fee for that area. Camping in the national seashore is more rustic, but less crowded. There’s ORV travel permitted…the line forms early in the morning! You can also rent kayak at the national lakeshore.
