Our Beach Camping Trip on Assateague Island

Back from beach camping at Assateague Island in Maryland...it was sweet!!!!!!

For couples and families with kids, this is a really nice activity vacation!

There are wild ponies and they are so fascinating to watch.

Here's some stuff we did...there are so many activities...crabbing, clamming, canoeing, a walk at dusk/campfire talk with park rangers. The park rangers are the greatest and they give talks about every activity. We didn't get a chance to do bike rentals/riding or trail walking.

We went into Ocean City for dinner at a crab house!!!! We sat dockside at Bahama Mama's. Great atmosphere. DH had 9 huge crabs. I had 3. It was fantastic!

Here are some pics.

- Camp sites on the beach. Ours is the blue one in the front left.
- The facilities...luxurious...haha!!!
- The sand is not that comfortable to sleep on, but it's more comfortable than soil!!!

- You wade into the knee-deep bay to go clamming. It was muddy. You can use your feet to feel around for clams. I was really good in the beginning, then I got pinched...I think by a crab and got FREAKED OUT!!!!!
- DH was very persistent, though, and found 1 clam! My HERO!!!!!!!!!
DH steamed it up. It was delicious!

Re: Our Beach Camping Trip on Assateague Island

- At dusk, we saw some families of ponies speed from the bay-side to the ocean-side. The rangers said they do this to get away from the biting flies and mosquitoes.
- The rangers took us on a walk at dusk and for campfire tall tales.. (sharks and ghost stories).
- DH and I at sunrise...our bodies so achy after sleeping on packed sand.

That's all I got!

Looks like you had a great time!

My daughter is very into horses and has been wanting to go there to see the horses in the wild. Maybe next summer!

I've wanted to go there since I read Misty of Chincoteague (or however it's spelled). Looks amazing.

Re: Our Beach Camping Trip on Assateague Island

Thanks, everyone!! It was a very cool and interesting trip.

You can reserve a camp site online ahead of your trip. They have nice maps of the camp sites/island layout.

I definitely want to read Misty of Chincoteague, now!
