1 night at Emily's place

This was one of my favorite hipcamps! While yes the site is close to the house, it still feels secluded with lots of tree cover. Be prepared for sand! There's a dog that runs around but she is very friendly and got along great with my dog. Bathroom is in a camper, and there's even a shower. This place is a gem for sure!

Weekend Trip to Big wave farm

Wonderful experience at Big Wave Farm! The variety of friendly farm animals was outstanding. Josh provided us plenty of well seasoned wood for our nightly fires as well as sold us tomatoes and eggs from the farm. Skip the big campgrounds and stay here.

Weekend Trip to Strawberry Crossroads

Great spot to spend the weekend with the family in the nature !

Weekend Trip to Strawberry Crossroads

Site is large, ample places to camp with a fire ring and some basic features. We were there 4th of July weekend and it was busy but everyone was respectful, and friendly. Bathhouses were clean. Hosts communication was the best I’ve had on this platform. Prime location to OC, Assateague, and even Chincoteague isn’t a bad trip. Close enough to be convenient, far enough you’re away from all the hustle and bustle. Couple of spots very close by for resupplying provisions.

Weekend Trip to Strawberry Crossroads

Felt very safe on TJ’s land. The land and bathhouses were very well kept!

3 nights at Strawberry Crossroads

Absolutely loved my stay here! There’s tons of space and a wide variety of spots to choose from—whether you want to be near other campers or tucked away in a more private, backwoods-type setting, the options are there. The bathrooms were clean and well-maintained. Just when I thought supplies were running low, they were already being refilled—super on top of it. The location is perfect—only about 30 minutes from Ocean City and Assateague National Seashore. Even during a holiday weekend, the campground never felt crowded. There was plenty of breathing room and I never felt like other campers were right on top of me. The owners were incredibly accommodating. I had to change my dates last minute, and they handled it with no problem. Firewood was delivered straight to my fire pit shortly after I arrived, which was such a nice touch. Would 100% stay here again. Highly recommend!

2 nights at Strawberry Crossroads

Cabin 7 was perfect for our group of 6. Clean, cozy, and peaceful spot surrounded by nature. Easy check-in/out and great location, would definitely book again!

2 nights at Emily's place

Although it was over 90 when I arrived, the shady site was cool and breezy. Very private. Air conditioned RV for bathroom and fridge and coffee maker. Ample space and seating. And Ron, the host could not have been nicer. I'd return anytime.

Weekend Trip to Big wave farm

My roommate and I had a lot of fun tent camping on this site. The site was super cool, lots of animals all very sweet. It was close a few different beaches, Lyft and Ubers are available if needed. The family was super sweet and fun to be around. We had to leave early for an emergency and they were super understanding and helpful. Highly recommend taking a trip out here. Great area for younger people looking for a fun camping experience!

Kingsley Orchards, LLC

Pitch your tent or park your RV on our historic 36-acre blueberry farm. Picnic tables, charcoal grills, and fire pits are located on lots. We are a newly renovated farm that has an almost 60-year history. Very close to Delaware and Ocean City Beaches! Our property is also monitored by security cameras. Once owned by Tom Ryan and part of the 100+ acres of Ryan's Berry Farm, Kingsley Orchards now owns the middle 36 acres and market building of the historic farm. Efforts paid off and the farm and market opened in June 2017 with a beautiful crop of blueberries and many multi-generational customers coming back with their children. The best outcome has been the opportunity to share growing food with children and helping them learn a love for outdoors and farming. Many of the customers remember their own grandparents bringing them to the farm! We had customers from age 1 to 89 picking blueberries We also offer a climate controlled venue for parties, events and several campsites on our farm.

Little Rustic Cabin Near Onancock

1 site · Lodging1 acre · Onancock, VA

If you are looking for a unique experience and appreciate history, architecture, and exquisite design, you just found your spot. First of all, the location. The cabin is located on a rural road that is a five minute drive to downtown Onancock, which offers a coffee shop, several restaurants, bakery, shops, Saturday farmers’ market, and the harbor. Chincoteague and the famous ponies are 35 minutes north, and bougie Cape Charles is 40 minutes south. When you open the door to this 300’ gem, you will step back in time to a simpler way of life. This century-old building was moved to the site and has been brought back to life, preserving the original character, while adding the creature comforts we love of today. Soaring 12 foot ceilings provide a spacious air, and the original wood interior offer charm and patina that simply cannot be manufactured. In the past, it was a barber shop and then a poker joint. This place is a design nerd’s dream, a clever combination of old, new, and vintage pieces, handmade pottery and art, with close attention paid to each chosen piece. Lace curtains and blackout blinds cover all your light preferences for peaceful sleeping. The queen bed is a high end hybrid mattress with traditional coil base and memory foam top. A giant 55” TV is directly across from the bed for cozy streaming. The modern bathroom has a vintage wall sink found on site, and terrific water pressure from a rain shower head with instant, never ending Rinnai hot water. The kitchen has an ample antique sideboard as your sink, apartment size refrigerator, induction hot plate, coffee, microwave, and combo convection toaster oven/air fryer. The marble table seats two. A comfortable down-filled loveseat adds another lounge option. You will enjoy all the artistic touches around the room. Did I mention the front porch??? It’s the perfect spot for morning coffee, afternoon wine, and evening stargazing from rocking chairs with your boo. A pretty view of a wide field is across the street and will sooth your weary soul. What’s not to love about that?

Camping in Assateague Island National Seashore guide

Overview

About

Coastal wilderness doesn’t get wilder than this cross-state barrier island, where seabirds swoop over salt marshes and herds of wild horses roam across maritime forests. More than 37 miles of sandy beaches stretch along both the Atlantic oceanside shore and the bayside, so once you’ve cooled off with a swim, you can spend your time surf fishing, crabbing, and hiking or biking along miles of coastal trails. To explore further, bring a kayak or canoe to paddle the shoreline, saddle up for a horseback ride, or take a drive in your OSV (over-sand vehicle). Camping is equally adventurous—you can even pitch your tent right on the sand.

Notable campgrounds

Best for tent campers: Oceanside Walk-in Campground has tent-only sites with picnic tables and fire rings a short walk from the parking areas.
Best for RVs: Bayside Campground has drive-in sites for tents, trailers, and RVs. There are no hookups, but generators are permitted in all but one zone of the camp.
Best for backcountry campers: State Line Campsite offers backcountry tent camping right on the beach. A chemical toilet is provided, but you’ll need to bring your own drinking water.

Tips for snagging a campsite

You can reserve the park’s campsites in advance via the Recreation.gov website.
Campsite reservations open six months in advance, and same-day bookings are possible.
Reservations are required for all sites from March 15 through November 15. Outside of this period, drive-in sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Campsites can book up the day they become available for summer and holiday weekends, so plan ahead to avoid disappointment.

When to go

Summertime is the best time for swimming and water activities at the Assateague Island National Seashore, and beaches are patrolled from late May through early September. Birding is popular year-round, with shorebirds migrating to the marshes in summer and waterfowl sightings most notable in fall. The main camping season runs from mid-March through mid-November, and walk-in sites are closed outside of this period.

Know before you go

There are two entry points to Assateague Island National Seashore. In Maryland, access to the park is via Route 611, eight miles south of Ocean City. In Virginia, access is via Route 175, two miles east of Chincoteague. It is not possible to drive between the Virginia and Maryland sides while on the island.
A per-vehicle fee is charged to enter the seashore; it is free to enter on foot or by bike. OSV permits and saltwater fishing licences are required.
Island facilities include two visitor centers, seasonal kayak and canoe rentals, a beach store, picnic areas, patrolled swimming beaches, and restrooms.
Assateague has free-roaming herds of wild horses, and visitors are advised to keep a distance for their own safety—these are feral animals that may kick or bite.
There are accessible campsites, nature trails, restrooms, and beaches at Assateague Island. Beach wheelchairs are available at patrolled beaches.

Assateague is a great place to camp and experience wildlife. I saw another reviewer say theyve never had an issue petting the wild horses. This is extremely dangerous and stupid.

Without a doubt one of the my places to camp. Unlike other "beach camping" on the west coast, here you are actually on the beach. Aside from the famous ponies, cute little bunnies & mini deer run thru the campsites at dusk. Nice bike riding trails & marsh hikes. Bring shade, sand stakes, strong coolers & keep your distance from the ponies. They will bite & kick. Go in the fall to avoid the bugs.

If you want the beach completely to yourself, backpacking into Lower Levels or (to get out of the wind) the first bayside campsite is a fantastic experience in the winter. It's cold and windy, but if that doesn't scare you away, the horses are abundant, the stars are out, and you can find fox tracks among the dunes. A local brew from Burley Oak to end the trip just seals the deal.
