Known for the beautiful wild horses that call the beach home, the Assateague Island National Seashore is located on a 37-mile-long barrier island made up of constantly shifting sand. Both walk-in and drive-in sites are available, and there are also two equestrian sites available for people who want to bring their horses. All sites have picnic tables and fire rings, and campground amenities include drinking water, unheated showers, and vault toilets. Reservations are required between mid-March and mid-November, and because the island is so popular, weekend dates tend to fill up as soon as they become available.
