Relax, enjoy the sunrise water views, and recharge in this peaceful oasis on a quiet corner of Chincoteague Island on the peaceful Eastern Shore of Virginia. This delightfully quaint, residential location is perfect for the nature buff who knows how to make the most of a small island setting. Wild Pony Camp boasts an off the beaten path spot on Chincoteague Island just off the Assateague Channel. We sit right where the famous Chincoteague ponies cross the channel every July for the Pony Penning and Fireman's Pony Carnival. A small, quiet campsite is nestled under gorgeous pines perfect for stargazing, relaxing, and enjoying the abundance of nature that surrounds Chincoteague and Assateague Islands. Biking distance to everything the island has to offer including Assateague National Seashore, Chincoteague Wildlife Refuge where the wild ponies run free, swimming, surfing, paddle boarding, kayaking, hiking, bird watching, wildlife loop, eagle's nest, water park and amusements, and much more. Walking distance to fishing pier, kayak launch, seafood market, sunset views, Carnival and Pony Auction, tennis courts, playground, great restaurants. Camp amenities include access to plenty of clean, potable water with a cold water hose shower and tented portable camp-toilet, fireplace with screen and lid, bike and gear storage, camp chairs, electricity, and charcoal grill are included. *This is a small footprint site in a backyard, in a more quiet part of Chincoteague Island.

Wild Pony Camp

Bayfront Cottage Neighborhood Site!

My partner & I absolutely loved staying at Susan's property in our truck camper! We only planned our trip for July about a month before, so most of the other camping options were booked to capacity. But I figured that this could be an ideal opportunity to still camp in our compact camper in a different quieter setting. And it couldn't have been more perfect!! Susan & her partner gave us a warm welcome upon arrival in passing. Our campsite was prepared with a firepit, 2 Adirondack chairs, and some fire starters & little goodies. We had access to a simple hose cold shower, which was exactly what we needed after coming back from the beach each day. The spot is in a nice quiet neighborhood plenty of distance off the road. Downtown is a 5 minute car drive, and you can be at the beach in about 10 mins. Couldn't have been better!!!
