Review & FAQ:

Occupying the northern end of Assateague Island, Assateague State Park is the only oceanfront park in Maryland.

Visitors typically come here hoping to see the wild horses that live on the island, but other popular activities include surfing, fishing, and swimming in the ocean.

Camping is only permitted in designated areas, but most campsites include a picnic table, a fire ring, and access to a public bathhouse and the beach.

Most of the campsites can be reserved between late April and late October; reservations are especially recommended if you're planning to visit on a summer weekend or holiday.
