This place has great amenities attached to the campground the fresh fruit and produce was a nice surprise along with a very decent camp store that had a lot of stuff that if you were in a bind or forgot something this place had it without you getting raked over the coals with the price everything was fairly priced. Our vacation weekend at frontier town is shall I say left a lot to be desired. We love the location and general layout of this campground but suggest the new owners consider some much needed expansion and improved services. For that level of expense, facilities should be at a level to justify the significant cost. The price charged for camping at Frontier Town is significant. Now, with the expanded campsites, it is reasonable to expect the use of these facilities will be very limited. In past years, the demand on these facilities has been significant. The onsite restaurant, pool, water park, bar have not been expanded at all. A significant number of new sites have been opened for camping but none of the group accommodations have been expanded. However, this year it was terrible!!!! In a time when folks need to have access to the Internet for schooling and work, it was very disappointing to not have consistent access and the speed when we could connect was dreadful.Īnother concern is the recent site expansion. Typically, the Internet has been a little unreliable. Recently, the ownership changed and our last visit was not one of our best. Cancellations do happen, and you just may get lucky if you keep checking availability.We have been going to Frontier Town twice a summer for a number of years. Don’t get discouraged if you find it difficult to find an open site. The campground fills fast, so book early if you can. No matter when you go, you are sure to have an amazing experience. There were no crowds, just miles of sandy beach for the kids to run free. It was a great spot just over the dunes from the ocean. We were lucky to score site 104 in loop I. If your heart and soul is at the beach like mine is, there is nothing better than having the sand between your toes at your own campsite.

We happened to catch a full moon and crystal clear skies during our stay. We did not feel crowded and the kids loved playing in the sand with their toys. The sites are fairly spacious and there is plenty of room for tent camping. We watched in awe as the horses casually strolled around our camper and ate their morning breakfast.Įach site has a concrete pad for ease of parking your camper, a picnic table, and a fire ring. We woke up to a visitor early one morning who was busy using our camper as a scratching post! The horses generally leave you alone, however, they are used to people, so they will not shy away from you or your campsite. This includes taking in dog food dishes if you have them out. You should never approach them, never feed them, as well as never leave food unattended or out in the open. After all, you are a guest at their home. Wild horses should always be given a respectful distance. Both campgrounds are home to beautiful wild horses that roam along the beaches and through out the campgrounds.Ĭamping among beautiful wild horses is as magical as it sounds, but there are of course some very important safety guidelines to follow. Since we have only stayed at Assateague Island State Park, I cannot speak to the National Seashore, although it is on our wish list. If traveling with your dog like we do, keep in mind that only loops G, H and I, allow pets at the State Park. The state park has two loops that offer electric hook-ups Loop G, and some sites in Loop I. However, the National Seashore campground is primitive camping and offers no hook-ups. When planning your camping trip to Assateague Island, how do you decide between the two? Both are similar in their beauty, access to the beach on the other side of the dunes, and the wild horses that roam about. The first thing you should know is that there are two different campgrounds in Assateague Island: Assateague Island State Park which is part of the Maryland State Park System and Assateague Island National Seashore, which is part of the National Park System. Although we have explored many amazing places, there is one place that tops my list and has remained #1: Assateague Island State Park. I am often asked where my favorite place to camp is.
